To add to cheswick's math, if we consider the last two census periods the comparable growth rate of these two cities is 7.45 to 3.9. One can argue this is more indicative of longer term growth. In this case Saskatoon would not over take Winnipeg in population until 2166. A more rigorous analysis of historical data would show that over the last 155 years these two cities (as well as all other Canadian cities) have had quite variable growth and it is likely this will continue into the future.

PS I congratulate Saskatoon (and Regina) on their recent improvements in growth.
Even then, we'll still have 3.6km of Rapid Transit while Saskatoon develops LRT, Hovercars and Rocketships.
