Nearly 6 million respondents to Canada’s “2021 Census of Population” marked their ethnicity or cultural origins as “Canadian,” making it the most named of any ethnicity by census users, according to Statistics Canada figures released on May 10.
Question 23 on Canada’s last long-form census asked respondents to identify the “ethnic or cultural origins” of their ancestors—to which just under 5.7 million individuals replied “Canadian,” as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
