As of June 16, 2023, there are now 40 million Canadians! This is a historic milestone for Canada and certainly cause for celebration. It is also a great opportunity to look back on the country's growth over the years, and to reflect on the future.......

Sure, it’s impossible to know with total accuracy what the true number of people is, but based on census data/birth and death rates/immigration and emigration stats, they’ve got a pretty reliable way of calculating an estimate.
I wonder what error those estimates have, expressed in days? Maybe a dumb way of expressing an estimate error band, but if they’re saying “40 million today” knowing +/- how many days would be interesting. Or maybe it’s just me.
