80 Million!

On the CBC's program "The House" a government official high up in border enforcement said that he expects that 80 million people will come to Canada in the upcoming year (most of them normal visitors). But 80 million!

That's twice the official population of the country! Doesn't that give you a different view of what "population" means?

And if there are really that many visitors, what are the chances that every other person you pass walking down the street is one?

Of course, if a Windsorite crosses the border to buy cheaper gas or attend a concert, how does this person count?
