However, the root of reconciliation is the word conciliation, which is the action of stopping someone from being angry. When we have reconciliation, it means that we restore our relationship to one that enables us to be compatible and friendly with one another again.
Being a new world country, Canada has been predisposed to be a very open society with regards to immigration, which has been the most important factor in its historical population growth. Canadians comprise about 0.5% of the world's total population. An estimate in 2014 had the population at 35,344,962.
Canada is a big country, the second largest in the world behind only Russia. But most of its 35 million people live in a very small area. To see how small, follow the series of maps below. Where do Canadaâs people live? (size = population) This is a cartogram, a map in which the area of each region is substituted with some mapping variable, population in this case. Said another way, the size of each region corresponds to the number of people who live there. Canada gets deformed to the point itâs completely unrecognizable (for comparison, see these cartograms of the U.S. and the U.K.). The bulk of the cartogramâs area, and therefore Canadaâs population, is in the bulge on the right. And that bulge is predominantly made up of just three light-colored regions and their immediate surroundings: Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa, Canadaâs 1st, 2nd, and 4th most populous metro areas respectively.
