Trump may end up being constrained politically in a couple months because of 3.4% inflation and gas going up. That shows you where they are on the whole. I wonder if they can really accomplish anything significant geopolitically these days. Would they fight against China for Taiwan for example even if it means they won't get Temu orders on time?

There are certain ignorant Americans (see: Current Events) who have a "USA #1" view that causes them to think they can start wars wherever they want with no consequences, but there are always risks. The US has the world's biggest economy and strongest military but it doesn't follow from that that they can do anything without costs or don't need political buy-in. With Trump, when there are ongoing costs he persists through, it's largely in cases where he would have wanted to TACO but got stuck.

Trump has arguably caused more conflicts in his first 20 months than any President in history at that point in time. He obviously lied. How many of us expected the US Government would go from ally to enemy in 20 months? It was not part of their election platform either. At this point, the GOP does not care, as they are already going to rig the midterms (look at what they are doing in Texas- shuting down 30% of urban polling locations, where Democrats usually do well, and hinting ICE and the US military will also be at these locations).

We have to plan for a possible US invasion in the future, as the odds of it happening are certainly mot 0%. The US is being run by mentally unstable people, who do not respect social norms. The sooner we can prepare ourselves for a Ukraine-Russia type conflict, the better.

I know that is alarmist, but I do not care. It's sadly our reality, and the reality of any nation that raises the ire of America for real or imagined wrongs (Greenland, Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.). The US is in a massive debt, and is eyeing our natural resources to plunder.

Isn’t this supposed to be a statistics thread ?

KnoxfordGuy · #**4784** Posted **Sep 3, 2026, 12:06 PM**

Is anyone else not able to access the stats can data daily updates? I haven't been able to see new data since last week.

9 in 10 posters don't care.

Statistically, that's almost everyone.

Looks like we may not know how to handle the weather that's changing as the result of global warming - at least, not in the east.

I'm curious to know when the quarterly population estimates come out for Canadian provinces. I see the Q2 estimates came out on June 17. I'm starting to tweak out.I need my fix!

The estimates have been published. 80,000 more people in Canada in Q2. Provincial growth everywhere except NWT.

Clearly a recalibration as even the previous quarterly estimates have been revised upward, illustrating that not as many NPRs have left as was previously thought.

That's possible, but it could also be more new arrivals, whether permanent or non permanent.

Innsertnamehere · #**4794** Posted **Sep 23, 2026, 4:31 PM**

Interesting. Ontario back to growth, albeit slow growth.

Yukon passed 50,000 this quarter.

BC remains below the population peak in Q4 2025, though is growing again.

Alberta continues to close the gap with BC. I bet it passes BC in a few years. Current rate shows Alberta passing BC by about 2034 or so.

MolsonExport · #**4795** Posted **Sep 23, 2026, 4:58 PM**

Yukon is separating from the pack. I remember when all three territories had similar populations.

jc_yyc_ca · #**4796** Posted **Sep 23, 2026, 6:45 PM**

Nice to see numbers back in the positive. I know we were all expecting a slowdown, but when it comes to population stats, numbers in the negative always seem depressing.

ericmacm · #**4797** Posted **Sep 23, 2026, 7:05 PM**

It is good to see us return to modest growth.

It will be interesting over the next few years to see how Bill C-3 influences the population growth trend. Something that is very interesting about C-3 is that it will disproportionately grant citizenship to Americans who live in California and the Northeast (specifically New England), as those are the two largest areas in the United States for Canadian ancestry. These areas are the predominant centres for science and research in various industries, and the Trump admin cuts to research back in 2025 are going to leave a lot of these people out of a job. Coincidentally, the Carney government has been pouring more money into research, whether from direct federal funds or through the EU’s Horizon program, meaning there may now be some really good opportunities, due to the combination of these factors, for these people to move to Canada.

It surprises me that there has been so little public controversy over a measure that can gift Canadian citizenship to someone who has had no meaningful connection with Canada for generations.

I'd be upset if people weren't properly vetted and it gave access to someone with a criminal record, particularly violent crimes or involving minors. But considering how high the percentage of foreign-born residents we have in some areas many of those people having no prior connection to Canada at all, it's tough to market having an insufficiently direct connection as being some big scandal.

Is that a consideration for eligibility? People who become Canadians after immigrating have established themselves in Canada via residency and paying taxes.
