According to the CIA
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ca.html the population of
Canada was 32,507,874 in June, 2004. In 1994 according to
http://www.canadainfolink.ca/charttwo.htm it was 29,036,000. While this is
only a 10% increase over 10 years, I wouldn't call it a decline.

I suspect that since November 2004 the population has jumped a bit with an
influx of refugees fleeing from more totalitarian regimes in the
neighbourhood.:-)
