26 h. ago Canada sees biggest shift in population in over five decades

Canada is seeing its population shrink following a steep decline in the number of international students and foreign workers.According to Statistics Canada, the population fell by 0.2 per cent in the third quarter of 2025 between July 1 and Oct. 1, bringing it to a total of 41,575,585 as of Oct. 1. With its low birth rate, Canada has been experiencing a low level of natural increase, only adding 17,600 more people during those three months. The agency attributes this population decline largely to fewer temporary residents.Canada has introduced several policies aimed at reducing the number of non-permanent residents, and their impact has become increasingly evident this year. The largest decline occurred in the third quarter with a drop of 176,47, followed by the second quarter (down 58,719) and the first quarter (down 55,194). According to StatsCan, the third quarter decline was the largest drop since records began 54 years ago in 1971.As of Oct. 1, temporary residents made up 6.8 p...

Toronto transit riders could soon be compensated for long delays.On Dec. 17, members of Toronto City Council voted to explore the possibility of offering TTC riders a refund if they experience delays of 15 minutes or longer.The motion was initially introduced by Councillor Brad Bradford as a proposal to implement a full money-back guarantee, but the council voted to amend it so that the TTC Board will instead "evaluate and consider" how such a program could work.Other cities, including London, Singapore, and Washington D.C., already offer refunds to commuters experiencing significant delays. The regional GO Transit system also implemented a similar policy, a model Toronto is now looking to emulate. "Implementing a refund system would demonstrate that both the Toronto Transit Commission and City Council respect customers' time and money," says Councillor Brad Bradford in a notice of motion presented to council. Bradford argues that this app...
