Canada’s latest census revealed that there are more women than men in Canada on Wednesday.

According to CTV News, these demographics have remained steady over the last 15 years, with 97 men for every 100 women in Canada.

For seniors above the age of 85, there are only 54 men for every 100 women because women have longer lifespans, but as medical innovations are made, the gap will eventually decrease.
