Document Summary
Today, the population is estimated to be 36. 7 million. At the time of confederation, the population was approximately 3 million. Only 20% of countries have a population higher than canada. Current trends in canada"s population: the rate of natural increase is declining, the population is aging, there is a high birth rate among the indigenous population, highest growth is occurring in ontario, bc, alberta and saskatchewan. The number of people divided by the land area. Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world by land area. As a result, its population density is one of the lowest in the world (3. 7 people per km^2) However, canada"s physiological density (the amount of arable land per person) is similar to that of the u. s. No highways or railways in the north. Ontario has the highest population density of the six regions (14. 1 people per km2) This is despite the fact that northern ontario is sparsely populated.
