This table describes the rate and nature of firearm related deaths in Canada and should be kept as up-to-date as possible, with the following caveat:  ''Because this template may be used to keep stats uniformly up-to-date across multiple pages, it should NOT be updated in ANY way '''unless verifiable sources can be cited'''.''  The last thing we need is for gun grabbers to point to some erroneous data in an effort to make it look as though we're lying as much as they are.

When in doubt, first place suggestions in [[Template talk:Table C-1: Firearm deaths in Canada|this template's talk page]] BEFORE making any modifications.

== Usage ==
Simply add '''<nowiki>{{Table C-1: Firearm deaths in Canada}}</nowiki>''' into the page in question.  The table auto-centers and is set to 100% width.

== Expanded data ==
The following table is compiled from StatsCan's [http://www5.statcan.gc.ca/cansim/a26 Table 102-0540] - Deaths, by cause, Chapter XX: External causes of morbidity and mortality, which '''DOES NOT MATCH''' the numbers supplied in Table 102-0551.  No idea why that is.
