More than a third of Canada's population lives in Southern Ontario, Throw in dense areas like Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec city, and you're definitely over half the population, 80% might be pushing it though.

I feel like it was probably accurate at some point in time but population growth in Vancouver (especially), Edmonton, Calgary, etc would make it unlikely to be much more than half.

Vancouver is 54 miles from Washington State.

The most accurate information on the web--Purolator--says it was true in 2011.
Canada offers a diverse market for Canada freight forwarding and Canada/US shipping: Purolator navigates the details
