42% of Canadians have a Facebook Account!

I was presenting to a client yesterday and discussing how facebook and other social media properties could play a role in their current marketing.

We both agreed that the debate of whether they should have a Facebook page is pretty much over but to what extent had Facebook  saturated the Canadian market.

I took a quick look at Wikipedia and grabbed the current population estimate for 2010(34,260,000), and went to Facebook and grabbed the number of Canadian users(14,254,000).

The number worked out to 41.6%, I rounded up in the title like my math teacher taught.

Imagine that, almost half of Canadians have a Facebook account.  If you still don’t have a Facebook plan,  start working towards, we’re here to help.

We would love to hear your thoughts.
