No, quit dreaming.
I am sorry if I started old, forgotten thing here. But you have to pardon me since I am new to all Canadian gun laws. "No AK action type" is one of the things among with others that doesn't make sense to me at all.
It banned based on looks?
Average, movie educated scared-average sheep/Canadian will not tell a difference in between AK-47/74/104 etc etc and VZ platform rifle.
Round it shots o velocity?
Same, VZ and SKS and som others are using the same round.
Political reasons?
Whole US is praising AK platform and even producing them.
So, I am totally puzzled.

Gun laws are usually politically and publicity oriented and made by people who are not so smart.
This can be both good and bad. So you can still by some re drifles and AK knock offs because what they banned is an AK.
Had they been more systematic and restricted or prohibited semi automatic rifles with detachable magazines or internal capacity greater than 2 rounds, it would be game over now.

I don't think it will ever happen.
The AK-47 and it's variants are the "bad guys gun" as demonstrated by modern film and popular media which to 95% of the populace is their only source of education these days.
As far as people who make the laws are concerned the AK-47 can shoot through 4 feet of solid steel and will turn anyone who holds one from a hard working accountant into a gang banging, baby killing terrorist.
It's funny how such a simplistic device has been endowed with such mythological attributes by people who have no idea what they are talking about.
I admire the AK for it's mechanical simplicity but I would not buy one even if I could.
It being banned on the above mentioned principles just makes it the primary physical manifestation of the level of ignorance in the anals of government law makers.

Then they should ban VZ as well. Show this to the average person and hear the answer.

the only way these can be deprohibited is if someone is able to repeal the OIC that saw fit to prohib them . That means writing your MP and keeping every bone in your body crossed that can cross and perhaps pissing in a wishing well .. but its worth a try .
dont hold your breath.
one of the main reasons why its prohib is the fear of countries dumping the old AK for new caliber AK .
fear of us getting a hold of millions of $50 AK.
same reason why the FN/FAL was prohib and yet the FN is not a full auto.

my CGN friend nothing is impossible, remember last year when conservatives lost, look at them now 
I wonder why they don't just make an AK-47 for the Canadian Market and firearm laws by modifying them with a fixed 5 shot magazine and Semi Auto only ...how would that be any different than an SKS or CZ-858? since it fires the same round.

The design , and all variants are a named prohibited design. That means that any gun that is based on the AK-47 action is prohibited (with the exceptions of the Valmet M-78 and Hunter models, as mentioned in the OIC). So a Canadian made AK (whether or not it is semi auto only) is a no go until we get the Order in Council that prohibits the AK removed.
Again, stupid and doesn't make any sense! Why to approach all citizens like a potential criminals? Is that the case why even sell ANY firearms to the general public?
P.S. Oh, well. I think everyone here thinks the same. I guess, the point is to get this message to a general public and our MP's.

I hate the VZ.... I would take AK any day... But I don't forsee that they will un-prohib the AK at any time....
