The Canadian population sailed past the 40 million mark for the first time in history this summer and new data shows that the country continues to outdo itself, adding 430,635 people in the third quarter of the year alone.That figure, which puts Canada’s population in the ballpark of more than 40.5M...
Looks like absolute number to me. Searching for “canada historical population growth” shows sites like Statista and Macrotrends which show 1% increases pretty much every year. StatsCan seems to only show one year at a time.
That is far less dramatic and would not get enough clicks.
That’s kind of what i expected.
As our population growth, we should expect absolute highs ever year, even if the relative numbers may fluctuate.
