From wiki:
"...In 1999, the
American Academy of Pediatrics reported that “in Canada, ~48% of males are circumcised”.
[19] However, this figure was questioned because the only citation provided for it was an Australian paper dating from 1970.
...A survey of Canadian maternity practices conducted in 2006/2007 by the national public health agency found a newborn circumcision rate of 31.9%.
[26] Rates varied markedly across the country, from close to zero in Newfoundland and Labrador to 44.3% in Alberta."
