Congrats, Canada! This has alerted me to the (IMO, pretty surprising) fact that all of Canada holds fewer people than the BosWash corridor.

I might be wrong in the numbers as I just got them from Wikipedia. But to be clear: Istanbul is the name of both the city and the "province" in Turkiye. And I used the larger area number from Wikipedia, which is for the province: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul So even when using official numbers, the urban density of Istnabul is > 6000 according to Wikipedia. ps: I live in Toronto, so I know Toronto is incomp…
The right comparison would be with the area and population of southern & maybe eastern Ontario and use that. Northern Ontario is really just something else. Anything north of the line where the Canadian shield begins becomes basically unarable and extremely low population density. And once you get past e.g. Timmins, there's really ... "nothing." (Pretty though.) I don't have the patience to go look this up, but obv i…
What do you mean by "maybe"? Eastern Ontario contains the 4th largest metropolitan area in Canada (Ottawa) which is a very reasonable comparator, the density is 195/km.

I'm surprised anyone lives there. I couldn't live that far north. Mostly kidding but just like land doesn't vote, the size of land doesn't determine how many people live there.
You'd be even more surprised to learn that 50% of Canadians live further south than much of the US ;) http://i1.wp.com/metrocosm.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ca...
Australia has dramatically increased its immigration intake. 750,000 this year and next, with 1.5 million in total coming in the next 5 years. This huge number of people are being brought in during Australias worst ever housing crisis. The ALP government doesn’t care in the slightest. In fact it’s greatly to the advantage of the politicians, most of whom own 1/2/3/4/5/6 or more houses.
1.5 million over 5 years are a rookie numbers. We did 1 million just last year. And our housing minister of housing in Canada just bought his second rental property.
I'd note that this number gets thrown around a lot, but it was 600k temporary work/study permits and asylum claims.
I've been living in Canada for 8 years and I generally heard people referring to "35M people", which I believe will soon change to "40M" people. Interesting that there is apparently a population clock that model's Canada's population: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2018005... See also the Century Initiative: https://www.centuryinitiative.ca/ to reach 100M by 2100.
I wonder if global warming could make it into one of the most populous countries in the distant future. Would be funny if there is some canadian cabal trying to speed up global warming.
Its kind of crazy that Canada now has the same population as California, and is 25 times bigger physically. Whereas Canada's economy is 50% smaller than California's (3T to 2T).
Did you know that Canada has land farther south than parts of California?

Housing speculation in Canada is a national industry. The assholes in both the major parties will never lift a finger to do anything about it because either they, or their baby boomer voters, are all hyper invested in making sure Number Goes Up for housing. Look at the way Poilievre foams all apoplectic at the mouth about the BoC raising its rate (as if it's Trudeau's choice what that # is... but whatever) while at t…
