I don't worry about bears. I carry a legal-size Temporary Restraining Order -- when I whip it out, the bears will fall down laughing and I will run away.
So far, so good!
If you want to worry about something in Canada, watch out for the FTCNs. Those are the Friendly Talkative Campground Neighbors. They can eat up an hour of your life, easy as pie. Tragic.

Having used bear spray 2 years ago to stop what the Conservation Officer that I reported it to said was definitely "a predatory attack" by a black bear, I can assure you that it does work.
Most studies are based on โperfect worldโ situations, in the real world, heart racing, adrenaline pumping, etc., etc., youโre as likely to miss, spray yourself, spray upwind, forget to unlock it, etc, as not.
Things like raising your voice and shouting at it, blowing a whistle or air horn or waving your hands wonโt put you at risk of being incapacitated like a blast of self-inflicted bear spray does.
