minus-square CanadianCorhen ( @CanadianCorhen@lemmy.ca ) linkfedilink10•6 months agoHonest question: Is it growing the most by an absolute number, or by percentage?
minus-square ImplyingImplications ( @ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca ) linkfedilink9•6 months agoLooks 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.
