As of June 16, 2023, there are now 40 million Canadians!
Soon to be 4 more. Moving my family to BC in August!
A little anticlimactic now that we’ve gone over the big number, but this dashboard gives a nice slowly ticking view of the data.
This is all an estimate however, right? Seeing as they only do a census every 5 years, I don’t see how this can be anything but. Admittedly the last one would have been only 2022 so the data is pretty recent, but that’s still only a static data point.
Sure, it’s impossible to know with total accuracy what the true number of people is, but based on census data/birth and death rates/immigration and emigration stats, they’ve got a pretty reliable way of calculating an estimate.
Very exciting news! Thank you for sharing.
I found this image that they used quite interesting as well, highlighting some of the major influences on population growth
Neat, I was just watching a video of the number one contributor of population growth.
Alcohol?
That’s #2 for sure
