Not quite. It says you cannot possess for the purpose of hunting migratory birds. It doesn't say possession while hunting migratory birds is straight-up illegal:
You are joking right or never got stopped migratory bird hunting. One lead round even near you and you are TOAST other than wood #### in select areas
I quote
Effective September 1, 1999, the possession or use of lead shot for hunting migratory game birds was banned. Lead shot is still permitted for hunting Woodcock, except
when hunting within National Wildlife Areas.
Non-toxic shot types that have been tested and approved for use in Canada include:
• steel shot
• tin shot
• tungsten-iron shot
• bismuth-tin shot
• tungsten-polymer shot
• tungsten-matrix shot

I am not joking. I quoted the legalese and provided a link for anyone who wants to look more indepth at it... What are you quoting?
Now, I'm sure we can all imagine a world where a CO would take the opinion that having lead shot in your possession means you intend to use it on migratory birds, but a CO's opinion is not the law, even if they can charge you based on that opinion.
15.1 (1) Subject to subsection (2), no person shall
(a) possess, for the purpose of hunting a migratory game bird, except a woodcock, band-tailed pigeon, mourning dove or Eurasian collared-dove, shot other than non-toxic shot; or
possess, for the purpose of hunting a migratory game bird
I remember posting pictures for another CGN member a while back of his high grade Ithaca single barrel trap gun. (I think it was a 7e) A really nice looking gun.
Wouldn’t try it in a blind or boat setting though; removes culpable deniability, as you are almost certainly only hunting waterfowl.
Possessing it while upland hunting in blaze orange and also carrying non toxic in case you run into a duck? Very different story…
Either way it’s not like the gun can’t be used for pass shooting on occasion and upland most of the time; brybenn is just blowing smoke as usual
I live in the real world in canada not your imaginary world and been checked at least 12 times over the years even my truck which was like 1000 feet from the blind for toxic shot
How about you give it a try , get charged and let us know how you make out
Just when I think I have read it all here I read your post .You don't hunt waterfowl much to get away with it
Did you even read what link you posted??

Have to admit, the Henry really fits that bill. And they're a handsome looking gun.
OP, what about procuring a decent older Cooey 840, or CIL, and make a project out of it?
Most barrels are robust enough for steel, and can be machined and threaded for thin wall chokes?
Just a thought, but someones older beater, might be a decent platform to do a small build. I sold an older CIL to a guy 2 years ago, and he did just that.
Post up a few pictures of your 4e if you get a chance. Would like to see it.
Sorry 3macs1 ... all the bridges behind you have burned ....
