The tonnage was three times the amount used in the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City.A classic case of the media "inventing" the truth. This three times the amount quote has been repeated over and over until it is now accepted fact.
Google "Murrah Building Bombing", and you will get numerous links which report the OKC bombing was around 4800 to 5000 pounds of ammonium nitrate. Don't mean to downplay the Canadian bust, but if would help the cause if the reporting was a little more truthful/accurate.

Take into account that the 3 tons are metric tons.
1 metric ton = 1000 Kg = 2205 lb
