Canada’s population is currently over 35 million and increasing fast. In fact, with growth at 1.2% per year, it is one of the fastest growing developed countries in the world. With respect to the land size of Canada, this country is considered to be unpopulated; however, most Canadian live near the American border, thus the northern parts of provinces lack the number of people. On the other hand, heavily populated cities within Canada have extremely high population densities and are beginning to get to the point of running out of room. The carrying capacity of Canada can withstand many more individuals, however, it can only take them if the population spreads further north.
