Canada just hit 40 million people!

Kinda rude

[–] leosin@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I still think of Canada as only having 30 million. Crazy to think we've grown by a third since then.

Heck yeah, we're now more populous than California! I knew we could do it 👍

Not trying to stoke flames here, honest question, but how much of that growth is thanks to immigration you think?

[–] kan@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

i dont have an exact answer, but you can look on the website its self

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2018005-eng.htm and on desktop if you hover the mouse over the coloured bars it will tell you how often each one changes.

ie birth 1 min 24 seconds death 1 min 41 seconds immigrant 1 min 7 seconds etc etc.
