Introduction
Although I have produced lists like this for several countries I had not done Canada until now. This was prompted when I listened to @zekepickleman talking on the Hive Thrive show and @alessandrawhite was wondering if there was a #CanadaList. Well there is now. I ran some queries to produce this initial list. As with the other countries I will not be actively maintaining the list, but I can make it available for others to use and expand.
I know I will have missed lots of people, but I just searched for states and some major cities. The metadata on accounts can be inconsistent and hard to search so it needs more manual work to find others. We have some empty states at the moment so I wonder if they have any Hivers.
Please excuse any issues with the geography and culture.
Other Countries
I have produced similar lists for the following countries. Active numbers are from the last time I ran them. These have used simpler queries than what I use for the UK, so they are likely to miss people. What it needs is for local communities to take up this work. The data and scripts are all on my Github for anyone to make use of. I can do other lists on demand.

- Brazil
- Ghana
- Germany
- India

Hi Canada! - from London, Ontario.
(Note for the stats... I vote but don't post)
Well this comment counts as posting. The script checks what each account does.
Ha ha, true.
Hey! 45 minutes north of you and nice to meet you! Maybe connecting with a few of us old skoolers in the area will get you posting again.
Hey neighbor!
@steevc, I love that at the drop of a hat, you with your mad skills cooked up yet one more Country List of Hivians to help our community connecting.
It’s only by spending time together online or onchain that we discover more points of connection.
I’m a Maple Leaf 🇨🇦 Lover from way back (I launched by design career from bothLondon, Ontario + London, UK, so I make Canadian friends quickly. They often come to tinker 🔧 @creativeworkhour.
I couldn't resist and it's not too hard to put this together. I've seen a bit of Quebec and went to Toronto for work.
Great stuff @steevc and more people to discover and follow!
Hehe I'm on 2 lists now :D
Oh i want to see the first hivian from the Territories 🤣!
You guys are pretty spread out with a few clusters. How many people live in the far north?
I think gathering the three territories you can’t get even 150k people 🤣
!BBH
Thanks for staying active. Your GLD activity distribution of 0.0439 GLS has been sent.
Y que viva Canadá
I am in Canada as you put in your blog. I run a witness under @thebbhproject. Just to let you know ;)

I'm updating the list with extra info I am getting in these comments. I'll share the file soon.
Thank you very much for sharing. Much appreciated.

There are some long term hiviens in Canada 9 plus years. Good to see the data.
Nice to see some fellow Canadians! I'm from the province of Ontario
Cool. I'll add you to the list.
Okay sounds good!
Is this for any specific community or Hive in general?
If so....Alberta, Canada here.
It's general information. The list can be refined and it's up to people how precise their location is
Anywhere to stick it in or are you gathering info? If so, Red Deer, Alberta for me
I guess it's time to reacquaint and update ourselves with the current members in the Great White North. ⛵️🍁
Thank you, friends, for the mention. I am truly delighted to be part of this beautiful country and, of course, of this community that is our home. Blessings and prosperity to you all.
I've only visited Canada a couple of times, but I met some great people and I'd go back. Great to see we have some community there.
@lacking is in Nunavut, and so is his wife, @arcticgypsy.
@crimsonclad is also Canadian, from B.C.
@klye is in Manitoba I believe.
Cheers. I'll update the list and make it available. I won't edit the post as that notifies everyone again.
Rock on, thanks!
@speciousxx Alberta bro ♥️
I'll update my file and can share with anyone who wants to use it.
Wow very good I hope one day to make us also
( Greece 🇬🇷 )
To find someone I never knew it 😊
I can try doing Greece some time. Do you think there are many?
I know 12 but I believe there more
Maybe you can check if they have account location data that makes them easy to find. I need to figure out what to search for. With the UK list I have had to do some detective work to find people.
Oh I see. OK I try to lacate some of them where the live and I will comment you again.
I ran a quick query that found 18 with 'Greece' on their profile and active in the last month. See what you can find.
Let's see how many are the same with my list.
Go Canada!
Update: @steevc, I paid out 9.730 HIVE and 0.000 HBD to reward 25 comments in this discussion thread.
I'm pleased to see that Canada has now been included 😀
waves from Ontario, Canada
I’m in Canada too … @offgridlife
From Muskoka (Port Carling)
Ah, I knew I would forget someone. I will add you to the list and share it on Github.
Thanks …. I’m an OG Steemit / Hive Blogger from June 2017 ….
Yeah, I know :) I ran a script to pick up people, but your location did not get found. I've added others who were mentioned in the comments, but do not plan to maintain this list in the long run.
I was in the 2016 intake :)
