POPULATION:
On July 1, 2013, Canada's population was estimated at 35,158,300, up 404,000 upraise the last year, which was equal to the one noted from July 1, 2011, to July 1, 2012, and for the last 30 years similar to the average annual gains.
The population growth except for the period between 1986 and 1990, rate has shown little variation in 30 years ranging from 0.8% to 1.2%. Population estimates released today are now based on the 2011 Census counts adjusted for census net under coverage and incompletely enumerated Indian reserves.
For the year ending June 30, 2013, population growth was higher in the Western provinces, while generally lower in the Atlantic Provinces and negative in Nova Scotia (-0.5%) Population growth surpass the national level by plus 1.2 per hundred, in Alberta plus 3.4 per hundred, in Nunavut plus 2.5 per hundred and Saskatchewan plus 1.9 per hundred.
In Alberta high growth explained through record levels of international migration and interprovincial migration to the province. A low natural increase and interprovincial migration losses, which reached a six-year high, explain low growth in the Atlantic Provinces.
INCOME LEVEL:
In 2012, the Gross Domestic Product per capita in Canada was last recorded at 35992.10 US dollars. GDP per capita in Canada is, reported by the World Bank, equivalent to 291 percent of the world's average. Average Canada GDP per capita from 1960 until 2012 was 25160.4 USD.

...for Canadian Drinking Water Quality within their jurisdiction provincial water authorities are responsible. In order to provide a clean, safe, reliable drinking water supply to municipalities, the guidelines intend the basic parameters that each water system (public, semi-public, and private) should aim to achieve. Furthermore to the federal guidelines, provincial and territorial water authorities impose water quality and drinking water standards. For ensuring provincial water quality regulations municipal water utilities are responsible and objectives are being met. To safeguard drinking water supplies more stringent water quality regulations have been enacted, and the costs of keeping water quality standards have risen considerably. As an example, the capital costs were estimated at over $800 million for meeting Ontario’s regulatory water quality requirements.
The global economy has been recovering from the financial crisis which occurs in 2008, then has a weak growth for most developed countries over 2012 and 2013. But economic activity in Canada has expanded at a faster pace than most other major advanced countries in 2012; however, economic performance in Canada has been unsteady throughout 2013 (The Economic review, 2013). After the last quarter in 2010 GDP growth rate grows rapidly, the GDP grows slowly but steadily in 2012 which remains at around 3 percent. Real GDP growth rate in Canada grows slowly in the first quarter of 2013, but increased by 5 percent in the second quarter ,then remains the same level until the first quarter of 2014 (Statistics Canada, 2014). In 2014, the Canadian government take a series economic action plan as a guide for the economy development such as improving investment conditions, ...
From the first Great War, to the Great Depression, and after the Second World War, you could say that Canada had been transformed significantly. Since the day the British North American Act was enacted in 1867, Canada was a small and developing country. The Second World War had been one of its biggest challenges yet and the countries future prospects tremendous benefits especially in the fields of political development, social development, and economical development. It was a great struggle to get where she is today and WW2 was a major contributing factor to why Canada is such a strong and unified nation
in the last decade. Canadian exports to the U.S. grew by 21% in 1994 and are
Canada has continuously served as a home to immigrants and refugees from decade to decade harbouring people from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The first set of immigrants to settle in the country came from Britain, the United States and from other nationalities mostly including immigrants from Europe who were either desperate to escape from religious or political turmoil or were simply attracted to Canada’s economic promise. Soon after the Canadian confederation in 1867, immigrants from Irish and Chinese backgrounds who occupied most of the country were used as workers and the demand for labourers to develop the country increased rapidly as more Chinese descents were imported to build the Canadian Pacific Railway. Although, Canada opened its doors to immigrants, but the country also intended to gain human resources for work in the farms, in the forests, factories and mines but not everyone was equally welcomed in Canada.
Formula for Natural Increase- The formula is (crude birth rate - crude death rate) / 10 = % natural increase. NI (%)= CDR-CBR When you subtract the CDR from the CBR you have the natural increase in
Pollution in Canada is not as bad as some other countries around the world, but it is becoming a more pressing issue day by day. Depending on where you live in Canada you might not see the effects of pollution as much, however pollution is all around us. From the pollution coming from our cars to the chemical valley in Sarnia, pollution is everywhere. The three main areas of pollution in canada are in the air, water and soil.
Canada is a big country and has a population of about 36 million people, about 4% of that population is aboriginal people. In canada aboriginal people are 17% of the murder victims. 29% of the aboriginal people murdered are women and 92% of aboriginal women are murdered by family or acquaintances.
A groundbreaking study shows that Canada's economy can still grow by almost 20 per cent over the next decade while the country dramatically reduces its greenhouse gas pollution by about half. The study shows that Canada could take decisive action and still continue to enjoy strong net job growth and other economic benefits. By 2020 Canadians would save more than $5.5 billion each year at the gas pump because of more efficient vehicles, more public transit and shorter commutes.
Chapter 1: Regions of Canada describe regionalism and how it divides countries, specifically Canada, naturally into six regions: British Columbia, Western Canada, Territorial North, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. These regions have been divided in a manner that correlates ‘like spaces’ in regards to human and physical geography (Bone, p.6) along with Canada’s historical development. The second key feature of chapter 1 describes Canada’s faultlines and they’re affects on Canada’s regional divide. There are four faultlines within Canada that reciprocate tensions that are mostly solved by being “soft” through negotiation and discussion (according to John Ralston Saul, Bone, p. 10). Bone places a great focus on these faultlines, which include: centralist/decentralist, Aboriginal/Non-Aboriginal, French/English Canadians, and newcomer/old-timer. “Canada’s heterogeneous nature often forms the basis of regional quarrels” (Bone, p. 11) particularly for the centralist/decentralist faultline. English/French speaking Canadians focus on Quebec and sovereignty, while the Aboriginal/Non-Aboriginal faultline deals with land claims, settlement and colonized peoples. Newcomers/old-timers refer to immigrants and settlers of Canada. The core/periphery model is a key concept that is commonly referred to throughout the text. It depicts the core as concentrations of power/wealth/population, with the periphery/hinterland as the weakly developed, resource based area.

Population growth is the change in population over a period of time. It happens due to a number of factors such as standard of living, cultural factors, and government policies. When the standard of living become better such as the improvement of social conditions ( shelter, sanitation, clean water , health care and etc) death rate and birth rate reduce as more people become inclined to have fewer children. As standard of living increases, there will be more immigrants thus an increase in population. Government policies which encourage people to have lesser or more children also has a significant effect on birth rate too.
Population growth rate is how fast a country's population. Japan has a population growht rate of .181%, which is very good. The U.S. has a population growth rate of .55%. And China has a population growth rate of .939%.
Rapid population growth is usually due to increase in fertility rate as parents tend to have larger families. However, in Singaporean context, it is due to the increase in permanent residents (PR) in the past 14 years. PR have increased tremendously with a population of 527’700 in 2014 which is an increase of 80% of 287’500 in 2000. This means for every 5 Singaporean there is 1 PR.
... of increase was at a greater level and the population increased to 27 million. Korea showed an increase in its population as well, from 22 million in 1960 the population increased to 40 million in 1985 but from here the rate of growth slowed down but picked up pace again from 1995 onwards, in 2010 Korea had a population of 50 million approximately. From 1960 till 1980, the population of Pakistan increased significantly from 45 million to 85 million. Between the years 1986 and 2010 there was an extremely sharp increase in the rate of growth increasing the population from 85 million to an outstanding 180 million. Pakistan is the only country among the rest three which experienced such a large increase in its population.
Pakistan has the most noteworthy population development rate on the planet at around 2.03% and every family here in the nation has 3.4 youngsters on normal. Wellbeing specialists accept that if the number of inhabitants in the nation keeps on growing with the same rate 2.03% it is prone to twofold in the following 34 years making Pakistan fourth most crowded nation of the world. While land territory will continue as before rather will be decreased because of private arrangements.
