Nine months after reaching a population of 40 million, Canada has cracked a new threshold.
As of Wednesday morning, it’s estimated 41 million people now call the country home, according to Statistics Canada’s live population tracker.
The speed at which Canada’s population is growing was also reflected in new data released Wednesday by the federal agency: between Jan. 1 2023 and Jan. 1 2024, Canada added 1,271,872 inhabitants, a 3.2 per cent growth rate — the highest since 1957.
Most of Canada’s 3.2 per cent population growth rate stemmed from temporary immigration. Without it, Canada’s population growth would have been 1.2 per cent, Statistics Canada said.
According to my calculations, this means that the population of Canada is going to be 205 million plus change in 50 years. That’s gonna necessitate a lot more Tims Horton!
It’s sad how much Canadians are suffering just because the government wants to help big business and keep it’s lines going in the right direction.
“Elect the Liberal party, we will pass electoral reform!”
gets elected
“Opps, guess we sure screwed that up! Oh well, looks like yous votes for us or yous gets the conservatives again! LOL!”
We really are alike, no matter where we live eh?
Pardon my ignorance but, what do you mean?
GDP per capita is going down.
The reason for mass immigration is to keep wages low and house prices up. People are too scared of being called racist to say anything about it. Governments only really care about the economy overall as in GDP, so they pander to businesses. They want low wages, less training, house prices to get more and more expensive. Good for business bad for the average Canadian.
Story is happening pretty much all over the world, except for places like Japan.
Countries should look after their citizens not the businesses.
sorry this is late but this is from stats can -
Canada’s population is roughly the size of California’s.
California’s population, on the other hand, is EXACTLY the size of California’s.
