Yeah, but you're still a bunch of crooked tooth wankers... just saying.

Typical Stats Canada, they provide enough links and numbers to confuse anybody .
I wonder if anyone is checking how much they are costing us and if the information is relevant !!
Durrr, the Census data is not really current. The population clock is a projection using growth rates...Derrp
I think most people would be able to differentiate between enumeration by Census, and adding projections to the latest Census...
And most of the growth is in the West - in fact, we're now bigger than the East excluding Ontario.
33 million? That's nothing, especially for a country the size of the whole of Europe.
Britain has a population of 63 million, and it will rise to 75 million by 2040.
we still can't catch up to california, they have over 37 mill now.
After she made that comment, I knew she had to been born outside of Canada, or that our education system is really getting bad.
She won that riding under Jack Layton. The Liberals will retake it in 2015.
Do we want to?

Excessive stability can be as bad as unlimited growth as it leads to stagnation which is a slower way to die than just using all the resources we need to survive. We need slower, sustainable growth that continues to let us evolve.

Canada's population surpasses 33 million
33,000,000
hey ,that's almost 2 cities of Shanghai .....
Yep. Population wise, sure. GDP wise, Shanghai isn't even close. Two Shanghai would be about 30% of our gross domestic product.

What bout China 's GDP vs Canada's GDP.............not even close .
Nope, not really close. For every dollar we produce, China produces 5, however. There's almost 40 Chinese for every 1 Canadian. So, one Canadian produces about 8 times more economic activity than one Chinese person.

What does Canada produce?....natural resources ?
No, though that's what most people think. Mostly services, the service industry accounts for nearly 4/5ths of our GDP. Manufacturing is about 13%. Energy is 3%. Agriculture, forestry and fishing is about 2.2%. Coincidentally China is now putting more emphasis on their domestic economy.
Canada is a world leader in agriucultural, energy, and forestry exports, but these are only small parts of the total Canadian economy.
That's all very nice but generally speaking to generate money you have to kill something or mine something. Services just spread money around that is already there.
That's not true. You can purchase goods manufactured elsewhere and sell them once you import them.
.
And which of those good were produced without mining something or killing something?
Cereal grains and oil seed are dead when harvested.
I wasn't denying that producing goods requires materials that are dead or mined...I was denying that service industries simply spread money around that is already there. That's not true, they add value. A cup of coffee from Tim Horton's is sold for more than the cost of all the raw materials and inputs...
You're catching on real good, Petros.....................Ton will get it figured out!
But that is NOT generating money, it's just taking it out of the consumers' pockets!
So, then where is all the money coming from? If services account for 80% of our GDP, how can you explain the difference in dollar figures? Give it a try.
So, you're trying to tell me that if I catch a fish, kill it, gut it, and sell it to you for a dollar, that I created the money that you're paying me with? How is that any different than if I pick up a rock and sell it to you for a dollar? How is that any different than if I brew a pot of coffee and sell a cup to you for a dollar?
Killing a fish and mining a rock both fall under the criteria I mention. Something was killed to generate the coffee.
