Are you sure? 15 million is about half Canada's population. Does that number include all Post Media properties?

I'm not sure where the number comes from, but it could be plausible if you factor in readers outside of Canada too

It's not number of people, it says number of monthly views. No babies are watching CBC!

We're up to 40 million now, right?

Yes but 15/30 is not far off from 15/40

15/30 = 50% 15/40 = 3/8 = 3*12.5% = 37.5%

(50-37.5)/37.5 = 33% (over estimate by a third).

It's easier to take 30 instead of 40. And not all 40 million are adults, so just adults is lower than 40.
