The source was the CIA website. After following the link I see that they list the population as 303,824,646 (July 2008 est.). Those differences are not really significant in my calculations, as they all round essentially to 0.2% (if we take it to a nice round number instead of following proper rounding rules). I still find the number of iPhones sold in Canada to be lower than I anticipated -- having never really set a number in my head to begin with.
