Canadian population growth continued to slow with almost no increase in Q1: StatCan
Statistics Canada says population growth stalled in the first quarter.
The agency says the Canadian population rose by 20,107 people from Jan. 1 to April 1 to 41,548,787, the smallest increase since the third quarter of 2020 when it contracted by 1,232 people.
