Canada is becoming a nation of the aging and the very young. New census data shows Canada now has a higher proportion of seniors than ever before â a development that has crept up on society with far-reaching implications for health, finance, policy and everyday family relationships.ut in the Atlantic provinces and Quebec, seniors gained significant ground. Alberta has the lowest proportion of seniors, with just 11.1 per cent of the province's population over the age of 65 â mainly because the number of young women is on the rise, and they are having lots of babies.
