Very exciting news! Thank you for sharing.
I found this image that they used quite interesting as well, highlighting some of the major influences on population growth

Neat, I was just watching a video of the number one contributor of population growth.

Alcohol?

That's #2 for sure

First doubling from 5 million took 35 years, next one took 37, and this latest one took 57.

A little anticlimactic now that we've gone over the big number, but this dashboard gives a nice slowly ticking view of the data.

That’s really cool!
Love the little bar graphs filling up

Soon to be 4 more. Moving my family to BC in August!

This is all an estimate however, right? Seeing as they only do a census every 5 years, I don't see how this can be anything but. Admittedly the last one would have been only 2022 so the data is pretty recent, but that's still only a static data point.

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.

Yes it's entirely based off of a mathematical model

Well how about that. How often do you get to tick the ten million place? That will make twice in my lifetime.
