That annexation hasn't been very effective at inflating the population of the city so far. The easternmost 50% (or more) of the municipality has about 20,000 people in it. There used to be one councillor district for the eastern 2/3 of the land, out of 23 in total.
I think it was included mostly because it was unincorporated land that would not be viable as its own municipality. In the other directions there are towns that are all successful on their own and where the local populations generally probably wouldn't want to amalgamate. Then again there are suburbs like Enfield, Elmsdale, and Lantz that probably should be part of the city but aren't.
