Any places in Canada that make/sell Cannons?

The "teaser" email showed a few. I was over there a couple of weeks ago and saw some others. One was a very attractive brass gun with naval carriage, GR cipher on the breech, barrel maybe 33" long. The auction will feature a collection of cannon. Some decorators, some touch hole guns, some breechloading blank firing signal guns.

Didn't one of the OIC's ban anything 50 calibre and larger, and over some number of joules?
It's possible that what you are looking for is now prohibited.

I believe the diameter is greater than .835 ". If larger and modern made, they are legal if used with blank charges for firing salutes etc

As far as I know, deemed and prescribed antiques are not affected by the prohibitions.

relative to prescribed antiques; modern replica handguns are not prescribed antiques --- but handguns are defined as being designed to be shot with one hand. Since cannons are not designed to be shot with one hand, I am hoping they would fall into the modern made long gun category and therefore be prescribed as antiques as long as they were flintlock or match lock (ie fired with a slow match to powder at the top of the vent hole, and possibly fired by fuze
