Honest question: Is it growing the most by an absolute number, or by percentage?

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

Looks like absolute number to me. Searching for "canada historical population growth" shows sites like Statista and Macrotrends which show 1% increases pretty much every year. StatsCan seems to only show one year at a time.

That is far less dramatic and would not get enough clicks.

That's kind of what i expected.

As our population growth, we should expect absolute highs ever year, even if the relative numbers may fluctuate.
