The growth of Canada's cities since Confederation.

Canada's population count in 2016 was 10 times greater than in 1871, when the first census after Confederation recorded 3.5 million people in Canada. By 1967, when Canadians were toasting 100 years since Confederation, that number had grown to 20.0 million. On Census Day, May 10, 2016, 35,151,728 people reported living in Canada.
