Canada's population forecast to reach 63 million, as people over 85 set to triple

New projections by Statistics Canada suggest the nation's population could reach 63 million by 2073, with the number of people aged 85 or older set to triple.

It says the population will rise from about 40 million in 2023 to a range of 47 million to 87 million over the next half a century, with 63 million being the medium-growth forecast. The population of people aged 85 and over would increase from
