COVID-19 Numbers in Canada

I was looking at the number of active COVID cases in Canada when it struck me that because our population density really is all over the place a simple breakdown of cases per province/territory is just not telling the whole picture. So I just threw together a spreadsheet and settled for a “cases per 100k population” figure to get a better basis for comparison.

The number of cases is taken from this tally, and the population numbers from here.

Here are the results:

You can draw your own conclusions from that.
