Well, this might provide some suggestions. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_infantry_weapons_and_equipment_of_the_Canadian_military
I dunno, a Boys ATR. Someone was posting about one not too long ago. Or maybe last year.
Lots of them are going to be restricted or prohibited, like all the SMGs and LMGs and HMGs. That said, there are a few semi-auto NR versions available once every hundred thousand years or so. Ask Kevin M about his beltfed rifle.

PGW Timberwolf if you have the $$$$$
Long Land Musket, Short Land Musket, India Pattern Musket, Pattern 1839, Pattern 1853, Pattern 1858 (both Enfields). During the Fenian Crisis, we bought small numbers of Spencers, Ballards, Peabodys, possibly some surplus Sharps'; anything from that period would not surprise me. British Army definitely had some Sharps' rifles, don't know if they ever served here, same as the Westley-Richards Monkey-tail: seem to have served mostly in India, although a VERY interesting design.
Sniders, Spencers, Martini-Henrys, Martini-Metfords, Martini-Enfields, Lee-Metfords, long Lee-Enfields, 1903 Ross, 1905 Ross, 1910 Ross, SMLE, Number 4 Rifle.
C1, C1A1, C2 etc. are Prohibbed, of course, this being a Free Country.
Boys' Rifle, McMillan or PGW if you are into the really new stuff.
If you like trainers, there is the Ross Cadet, Swift, Cooey 82, Long Branch .22, C Number 7 and there were a few C1s converted to .22RF straight-pull single-shots: likely Prohibbed by now unless scrapped.
LOTS of variety, especially if you got LOTSa bucks!

"...might provide..." Wikipedia is not a reliable source for info about anything. Anybody with internet access casn post anything they want there.
"...that Canada used in combat..." Other than post W.W. II FN copies, you have to go back to the 19th century. Canada has been involved in very few wars or police actions. For most of those our troopies used the same rifle as the Brits. I'd suggest you read some history and then try to track down the kit.

Not true. It depends what article you are reading. Who posted it. If it is locked or not.
