Canada population: 41.4 million
California population: 39.4 million
Greater Tokyo Area: 37.4 million
Almost similar GDP as well
Canada GDP (2026): $2.51 Trillion USD
California GDP (2025): $4.25 Trillion USD
Greater Tokyo Area (2022): $1.82 Trillion USD
Wide Spread but still all in the low Trillions
Biggest question.
Who wins in a street fight.
I wanna give it to the Canadians on sheer variety but I think California might win that one.
ninjas?
Canadian ninjas or Californian ninjas?
1000% California. So Cal is mostly LA and NorCal is a bunch of granola outdoor survival types.
I mean, we have plenty of people living off the land in Canada too, and it’s hard land.
If they’re allowed bringing their guns the Americans are going to win every time, of course.
So Tokyo has 1 moose, California has 100 moose, and Canada is overrun by moose. Got it!
Does that mean Canada is looking for immigrants? A lot of us can help bring that number up.
The big map is misleading. The vast majority of us live within 100 miles of the US border.
Canada is in desperate need of immigrants but simultaneously suffering some growing pains from fumbled immigration programs and policy it’s the old you won’t make everyone happy shenanigans
Canada is always looking for immigrants, weather it likes to or not, it needs them
I guess it likes the weather not
That depends on whom you ask. 🤷 And how eager are you to live in a remote community?
there are too many people in Tokyo. like come on guys. there are other cities.
The density makes life very convenient though
80% of þe population of Canada lives South of Minneapolis, MN., USA.
Can’t say I blame them. Minneapolis is cold AF.
My wife’s family is from northern Minnesota. When we visit my in-laws we like to joke that they’re two states north of Canada.
þat’s nuts
People who use þorn are so þoroughly exhausting
Oh, right, I forgotten about you. The moron who doesn’t use “th”.
Damn, catching strays here
I just copied what Sxan posted
Oh, right, that moron. Think for yourself and don’t be “that guy”.
And people wonder why Japan’s population is shrinking. (Wait, is it shrinking or did it stop growing?) Disinterest in breeding may be an innate response to overpopulation. In any case, Tokyo’s population is fucking crazy and decreasing the number of people voluntarily and peacefully is a GOOD thing.
COL in Japan in general is about as unhealthy as it is in California.
people are working themselves to death just to scrape by.
if governments want population growth, they have to siphon wealth away from their corporate overlords and nurture the working class.
Japan’s population decline isn’t really about cost of living so much as it is about poor quality of life/a stiflingly conservative culture. Terrible work/life balance, women still largely being expected to quit work when they have kids (and it being assumed that women will have kids, leading to discrimination in the workplace and limited career promotion opportunities), men still largely being expected to be salarymen who are forced to prioritize their company and social expectations at work above all else, etc.
So anime lied to me?!
They need to grow it a lot more, it’s not even close to The Mark of Gideon levels yet (aside from some trains during peak hours), so they have a lot of work to do! Correction, Worf doesn’t consider that work.
Tokyo isn’t having population decline, its the countryside.
Because Tokyo keeps getting immigrants from the countryside to cancel out its disastrously low birthrates.
Tokyo has more people than LA? That’s surprising.
The Greater Tokyo area has a population of 38.1mil, California has a population of 39.3mil.
You have clearly never seen Tokyo. It is excessively populated.
