I know Americans circumcise pretty much any penis they see. However, not much is known about their neighbors to the north. What is the current circumcision rate in Canada (roughly), and what has it been historically? What about in Australia/New Zealand?
No "Don't Circumcise your son!" responses will be tolerated, they are not relevant to the question asked.
Oh, btw, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Circumcision is still very widespread is Canada, where probably half of all newborns get circumcised at some point before reaching puberty.
In Australia and New Zealand circumcision is still common, being less prevalent the later.
Globally, circumcision rates are INCREASING nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African and South American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.

It is a very common practice, it is sometimes thought of for health reasons.
