Are the bootloader on canadian LG G2s locked?

[AC Question]

I've been thinking of buying a used LG G2. I like to tinker with my phones, and rooting and a custom roms are big for me. My real question is: If I buy a g2, will the bootloader be locked and if so, or is there a way to root and flash a custom recovery without having to unlock. I know that this is kind of late, but I need to know in order to make a decision.

Thanks!
