Yes, there are. There's some data to that effect. In British Columbia, I think journalists use the law here upwards of 35% to 40% of the time. I can understand entirely the reasoning behind all of this, and I think some of it has to do with distance and the relationship of local government and provincial government to any news organization. There are national organizations that focus in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto in particular that would have a more acute interest in national affairs, so I can understand where they would be the ones using the law there, and in various provinces across the country you would see local and regional organizations using the law locally.
