Well considering that the US has 100 million more people than all of those countries combined we can expect that the absolute number of mentally ill people in the US will be higher - with increased risk of one of them snapping.
Besides, guns are plentiful enough in all of those countries that anyone who really wanted to could get their hands on them. I know guys here that have several guns including an AR-15 - all legal.
And if stats are your thing then consider this:
Plus there are cultural differences to consider. Americans like their guns for killing. Canadian killers like to torture and mutilate their victims as is the case with that current investigation into the gay serial killer with six bodies uncovered so far.
