Which of the following cities will reach 1 million first??
Quebec - 728,924
Hamilton - 720,426
Winnipeg - 712,671
I'm interested to see how this race will play out in the coming years. It got me to asking which city of these will hit 1 million first. I think Winnipeg has the most potential (immigration and central location), but I feel Hamilton has the better economic environment (proximity to TO). I don't know much about Quebec City, other than I heard that most people are moving there from the rural parts of Quebec, so I don't know how good their in-migration would be.
I would have to chose between Hamilton and Winnipeg, thinking that both cities may surpass Quebec City sometime in the future. Seeing as how things are at this moment, I would say Hamilton, but seeing as how things are predicted to be in the future, I would have to say Winnipeg. As you can see, it's tough for me to choose. All three may be knocking on the 1 million door about 20-25 years from now at the rate these cities are growing.
Could all three cities be neck-and-neck-and-neck for the extended future??
