All other reproductions includes muskets. The example is an 1853 enfield, which is a musket. Your elitist attitude is not appreciated.
It does appear however, to depend on the firing mechanism of the musket. Flintlocks seem to not count as firearms whilst percussion caps do. Neither of us were entirely correct.
Really? elitist? that's up there with
pretentious as far as lazy and insipid insults go.
Anyway, my dictionary defines a musket as a muzzleloading, smoothbore long gun. Wikipedia agrees. The 1853 Enfield is rifled.

As the page I linked says, flintlocks, wheellocks and matchlocks are considered antique firearms regardless of when they were made. As there aren't really many reenactors in Canada that use percussion cap weapons, they mostly don't need firearms licenses.
That's exactly what I said.
