Also throw in the fact that semi-autos in Canada cannot be sold or legally owned with more than a 5-round magazine, and would need to be illegally modified (again, more than 7 minutes). Also not the case in Florida.

Since he didn't use an AR-15, the comparison should be made using an AR type firearm, of which there are models in Canada that are non-restricted. Even then, the AR is only restricted in Canada because of name and looks, not function.
To own a non-restricted AR type firearm in Canada, you need a PAL, no ATT, can use magazines with more than 5 rounds and can walk out of the store with it after paying. No information is required to be recorded at time of sale.
The only difference is the requirement for a PAL versus a NICS check.
If you want a restricted, there is a slight wait time before you can take it home (can get it done in an hour or so), the ATT is now automatically issued as part of a license and the same magazine rules apply.
