Hello daryls-ga,

The  Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC)  provides the information you?re asking about in the
Broadcasting Policy Monitoring Report 2005.

http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/publications/reports/PolicyMonitoring/2005/bpmr2005.htm


From Table 6.1: Personal computer ownership rates of Canadian households

============================================================
           COMPUTER OWNERSHIP BY CANADIAN HOUSEHOLDS
------------------------------------------------------------
                   March                       / December
------------------------------------------------------------
1998 / 1999 / 2000 / 2001 / 2002 / 2003 / 2004 /  2004
------------------------------------------------------------
49%  /  53% / 55%  /  63% /  64% /  64% /  68% /   71%
============================================================

Source: CyberTRENDS, ComQUEST Research: winter 2005 edition and March
1998 to 2004 spring editions


"Overall personal computer ownership rates continue to grow,
increasing by 3% from March 2004 to December 2004. According to
CyberTRENDS, significant ownership increases were noted among women
(4%), individuals between 55 and 64 years of age (9%), and in
households with an income under $20,000 (7%).
Income continues to be a determining factor in computer ownership. In
December 2004, 93% of households with an income over $80,000 owned
computers while 47% of households with an income under $20,000 owned
computers."

Here is a brief backgrounder by stats can on computer (internet) USE
instead of ownership:

If bobbie7 answer on ownership is not what you wanted but wanted USE
instead..a GA researcher would likely find the info at Stats Can.
