Yes, here's a quote of their BS;
Handloading in detached dwelling only. The accidental ignition of 5 kilograms (kg) of black or smokeless powder can cause a fireball several metres across. This would undoubtedly initiate a rapid and intense fire in a normal room. We do not believe that residents in a multi-unit dwelling should be subject to the risk.
No more than 5 kg of propellant to be stored within a dwelling. According to handloading tables this is sufficient for 1500 (shotgun) to 20,000 (pistol) loads. This amount seems adequate.
No handloading within 15 metres of a neighbouring dwelling. Again, this proposed change relates to protecting neighbouring properties from the risks and hazards associated with ammunition loading activities.
All propellants to be given a United Nations designation. There is nothing new here. All explosives made in or imported into Canada must be authorized and classified under the UN system.
15 meters! guess you don't reload unless you're out in the "sticks"
If you're in a townhouse, forget it, too bad for your luck.
If you load more than one type of ammunition, i.e. two different gauges, or rifle and shotgun, you can't use the same kind of powder, so you can't keep enough on hand for practical use.
Funny though, gasoline and propane stored in a townhouse garage is O.K., I guess (I know you're not supposed to store propane indoors, so no one does that, yeah, right
