Which small cities (UNDER or about 200,000 in metro/region) could make the big city leap in the next 4-5 decades? Reasoning?
Statistics Canada predicts a population of between 40 million (low growth scenario) to 63.5 million (high growth scenario) for Canada by 2063. Much of that growth will take place in the current biggest metropolitan regions. Currently there are 20 population centres in Canada that exceed 200K (smallest currently Barrie), but perhaps there is a dark horse middling metro that could take off, like Calgary and Vancouver, back in the day.

The maximum # of options for a poll is 25, so please don't be offended if your city/region is not listed.
