Basically it averages out that Winnipeg has grown by about 7200 people per year, where the projections seemed to expect somewhere between 10 and 15K?

I really have no idea.
The 2010 estimates, also by Stat Can, show a huge discrepancy with Winnipeg (They had ~752k for the CMA I think)
By the end of 2015 the city has a projection at ~800k CMA; end of 2011 should have been ~ 764k
Head scratching, to say the least. These are to now be considered "official", however.
We may simply just have to wait a year to see if there were any huge discrepancies with the population results. My understanding is, the 800k CMA "adjusted" estimation (from the city in Sept. 2011) by 2015's end will be reached. Very huge discrepancy with the 2011 Stat Can results. Something is amiss. I could be wrong, as I was anticipating slightly higher numbers for most of the centres.

Which is interesting. If true, I wonder why? 30k+ people would be
a lot of people who are opting out.
