^^ That's quite an accomplishment. Toronto is suffering from the exact opposite. The last championship was in football (2004). The baseball team hasn't won since 1993, hockey 1967, and the Raptors have never won.

The other 54,610 people (2.2%) were non-permanent foreign residents.
Thanks for the information. What about the Toronto CMA though. I was under the impression that the CMA also breached the 50% tipping point, but achieved this a few years after the central city?

I prefer brown to almost any other colour because it's a warm earth tone. Glass would be colourless, while grey/green/light blue would be drab. Brown? Bring it on. Some red or black brick/other heavy material would be very welcomed too.

I see. Looks great, nonetheless.
