Canadians are moving west. There are also 10 times as many of us today as at the time of Confederation. And most of us live within 100 kilometres of the southern border.
Statistics Canada has released the first glimpse of data from the 2016 census, gathered from 35,151,728 people who reported living in Canada. The statistics paint a national portrait of a population that is still growing, though at a slower rate.
