Elusive twitter stats

A collegue has asked me if I had come across any demographics of Canadians on Twitter. Sadly even with my trusty friends Google, Yahoo and Mashable I didn't uncover a great deal of current statistical information. I spent more than an hour scouring the web for any details on stats and demographics on Twitter users. There are tons of informative sites but I could find none with straight forward, current details about how many Canadians are on Twitter or how the Twitter population breaks down.

What I could find:

There are 165 million registered users and 100 million tweets sent a day, according to Bloomberg.

Found this Quantcast Study that states that 59.1 million Americans have Twitter accounts.

Am I just getting bad at research or are Twitter stats just not that interesting to anyone any more?

Some fun stuff I did find about Twitter:


and this photo of a carved watermelon - I swear this came up in one of my searches for Twitter stats!
