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!

Well it certainly is big enough to support that many.
Especially if people don’t mind living in lakes 😁

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