Today, Canada has a real-time population estimate (from Statistics Canada) of 39.88 million people. Canada is adding about 260k people every 3 months. Canada will pass 40 million people in less than 24 days from May 21. Canada should pass 40 million people on June 14-15, 2023. This will have Canada join 37 other countries with populations over 40 million.
Canada has increased its immigration levels and is increasing its population by 2.5% each year.
Canada’s real-time population on May 9, 2023 was 39.880 million people.
Canada’s real-time population on May 18, 2023 was 39.9096 million people. This was a 30,000 person increase in 9 days. Canada should reach 40.0 million people in another 27 days. This also means that Canada is increasing by 1.22 million per year. There are 227 days left in 2023. Canada should reach 40.665 million people by the end of 2023 adding 756000 more people in 2023. If 2024 was adding at the same rate, Canada’s population should reach 41.88 million people and 43.0 million at the end of 2025. Canada would reach 49.0 million by 2030 and 50.0 million by 2031.
Canada’s real-time population on May 21, 2023 was 39.920 million people. This was a 40,000 person increase in 12 days.
If Canada sustains higher immigration levels then they will pass Spain, South Korea, Argentina over the next ten years. Canada will pass 50 million people around 2030-2033.
In other notable population news, India passed China for the highest population country in the world.
The World population passed 8 billion people six months ago per UN estimates. World population is growing at about 0.84% a year and growth is slowing.
Canadians are currently about one in every 200 people on Earth. There is a Canadian business and leadership effort to reach a population of 100 million by 2100. This goal will mainly be achieved through immigration policy. If the population goal were to be achieved then Canadians would make up nearly one in every 100 people on Earth. The US is heading for a population level around 400-450 million in 2100.
If Canada keeps adding about 2% to its population each year, then it will move up from
less than 1 Canadian to every 8 Americans in 2023 to
1 Canadian to every 7 Americans in 2030
1 Canadian to every 6 Americans in 2050
1 Canadian to every 5 Americans in 2070
1 Canadian to every 4 Americans around 2100.

With every passing day our demographic situation worsens. <70% White and rapidly dropping. This is disastrous and our future is going to be a hellish nightmare.
China total GDP will top USA. In terms of gpd per capita, they will still lag way behind. They just have much more population.
For every billion spend on military by China and by Usa, China will probably get out more. Workforce is cheaper there,… The amount of money every one spends on military is not always objective for comparison.
Usa and Europe mil tech level is still way higher than China. Massive military is not so good if mil tech is low. Russia doesn’t use muskets yet, but they use 1890’s rifles:)
Really depends how AI race and tech will turn out.
If manufacturing lines can be automated with robots, perhaps there will be less need to outsource the factories, work there, so the production will be back at home. That can decrease China and India growth.
The thing is that it is easier for China to grow GDP than USA or Eu, because they have lower GPD per person and way more population. Inflation hit USA and EU harder than China.
The thing is, we don’t actually have good data on what’s going on in China, because they’re a totalitarian state which routinely distributes false statistics, even internally.
It WAS easier for China to grow, because basically they were just copying what other more advanced nations had already done. To some extent they were even deliberately helped with this, on the mistaken theory that economically developing would cause them to moderate, rather than just have more resources to devote to their extremism. And they’ve been doing a huge amount of industrial espionage.
Even so, the only reason they were catching up with the West is that we were self-sabotaging. If we can ever get over that and resume growth friendly policies, we’ll leave China in the dust.
The world is pretty much over the delusion that economic growth causes moderation, now, and is starting to make an effort to decouple from them, and they don’t actually own enough Western politicians to stop that process, only slow it. And they’re about to fall off a demographic cliff created by their one child policy, that kicked off the birth dearth other developed nations suffer from, only way too early.
That creates a window of danger, where they can see that their power will ebb, but it hasn’t gone away yet. So things are going to be tense for the next few years while they’re tempted to do risky things that will shortly go from risky to flat out impossible.
But if we can get through the next decade without them starting WWIII, the danger from China should become much less.
Canada has also been climbing my list of most hated countries under the leadership of the execrable Justin Trudeau.
Oh no Mahmet hates us! The horror! No one CARES how you feel, you nobody!
