Canada’s population hits 41M months after breaking 40M threshold
Canada’s population hits 41M months after breaking 40M threshold
Nine months after reaching 40 million people, Canada cracked a new threshold on Wednesday, the same day Statistics Canada released a report showing the pace of population growth.
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.
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.
keep its* lines going
I’m gonna be one of those people if the trumpet plays in November.
Good luck (I mean that sincerely). I've heard it's not terribly easy to move here if you're not a recognised refugee. There was a lot of "I'm moving to Canada if the trumpet plays" talk in 2016, but I don't think it resulted in any significant increase in Americans moving here.
I will say, as a Canadian, I and a number of my friends are considering moving away from Canada if America goes full totalitarian (which is looking likely, if not this election then the next). It's essentially America-lite here now, but with a higher cost of living and lower salaries. Most of us are thinking New Zealand or Ireland.
My profession, and the profession of my spouse, are both in high demand. There are special doors to go through in our case, but obviously it is a lot of work even then.
The idea is get out quick, and then see if we need to move again. Ireland is also on the list, but that’s a huge difference in location and culture. At least Canada is close enough to still visit family.
See everyone is thinking other English speaking countries when you already speak the global language. Don't limit yourself.
As an American emigrant... just bite the bullet now - not everything up here is perfect, so temper your expectations, but the culture is so much fucking better. It's worth it purely to avoid the stress of potential medical bankruptcy.
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!
On August 26, 2014, Burger King agreed to merge with Tim Hortons for US$11.4 billion.[14] The two chains became subsidiaries of Toronto-based holding company Restaurant Brands International on December 15, 2014.[15]

Well it certainly is big enough to support that many.

Landmass isn't the only favor to consider. There is a reason why some places in the USA and Canada are very sparsely populated
