Canada is
the second largest country in the world in terms of land area (9 012
112.20 square kilometres), yet it ranks only 33rd in terms of
population. According to Statistics Canada, Canada's population in 2000
was estimated to be 30 750 100. This represents a growth of 3.6% since
the 1996 estimate of 29 671 900. Almost all of Canada's population is
concentrated in a narrow band along the countrys southern edge. The
population is also concentrated by province: Ontario and Quebec contain
between them 62% of the total population.
