okay just wanted to get some actual facts for all my readers.
The USA is still chopping foreskin at the rate of 62.7%. It's over 80% in the midwest region but about 30% in Western region and the other two regions are around 64%.
Statistics Canada has refused to give out official listings of their circumcisions but surveys done by province indicate a current circumcision rate of only 20% for most Western provinces and Quebec and the Islands at almost nil (been living on the wrong side of the country). And the rate is declining annually. Neo-natal circumcisions are discouraged if unnecessary by Health Canada. The rate has gone down since the 1970's when it was hovering at about 60%.
Our neo-natal circumcision rates are about on par with Britain now, so it's really just the US that remains. So apparently people are putting more thought into this and that thought makes me smile. Something I considered important is being taken care of, and in part by health canada - who would've thunk it?
an okay website for this (and other websites agreed in stats) is http://www.cirp.org/library/statistics/
