Millennials in the Canadian housing market: An intergenerational comparison - Statistique Canada

A striking Canada-U. S. comparison is making the rounds: Canada’s economic output per person in 2025 was lower than that of every U. S. state. The numbers support the basic claim, although the headline needs context. The World Bank puts Canada’s 2025 GDP per capita at US$55,697.7, measured in current U. S. dollars. At the bottom of the U. S. state rankings is Mississippi. Using the U. S. Bureau of Economic Analysis’ GDP-by-state data and the U. S. Census Bureau’s 2025 population estimate for Mississippi, its GDP works out to roughly US$55,877 per person. Mississippi’s estimated July 1, 2025 population was 2,954,160. That puts Canada about US$179 per person below Mississippi, a gap of roughly 0.3 per cent. The comparison supports saying Canada was below all 50 states in the 2025 data. What does the comparison actually tell Canadians? GDP per capita measures the value of economic output divided by the population. It is useful for comparing how much economic activity is generated per resident, but it is not the same as average wages, household income, wealth or disposable income. NEW: Canada is now OFFICIALLY poorer than ALL 50 US states.

There was something extraordinarily refreshing about listening to Volodymyr Zelenskyy say the quiet part out loud. Asked to comment on the deteriorating relationship between Canada and the United States, the Ukrainian president described it as "strange" and "very dangerous" before drawing — arguably — an imperfect comparison with his country and Russia. "It's very dangerous that there are some problems between neighbours. We are the example," Zelenskyy told CBC's chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault in an exclusive interview at the end of his visit to Canada last week. It's well known Zelenskyy has little patience for diplomatic euphemism and he has made something of a habit of dragging the unspoken into the open. WATCH | Zelenskyy on U. S. 51st state threat:U.

The Parole Board of Canada knew convicted murderer Jeffrey George Ewert had plans to attend a university and it made a decision this past spring to continue his day parole despite how he previously breached his release conditions, concerning his contacts with women, multiple times. According to a report by CBC, Ewert has been taking law courses at McGill University as recently as earlier this month. The report, published online on Friday, quotes unnamed students upset “that the university did not disclose their peer’s violent history.”
