What's going on with the Stats Can population clock? It hasn't been working for the last 7-10 days.

If the GTA (currently ~7,500,000) grows by 1% per year, by 2050, the GTA will have 9,811,567 people. If the GTA grows by 2% per year, by 2050, the GTA will have 11,948,205 people. If the GTA grows by 3% per year, by 2050, the GTA will have 16,659,668 people.

Okotoks, with a current 3.34% year over year population growth, will grow from 36,338 today to 25,944,928 by 2223.
Woot woot!!

Will there be even more things to do in Okotoks at that point, or, simply still a number of things to do????

What will come first, Austin eclipsing NYC, or Okotoks (as its own CMA distinct from Calgary) eclipsing the GTA?

And for sure there will be a number of things to do.

Otokok's will reign supreme for the number of things to do will make them the happiest, most productive metro region of all time.

In all seriousness, it seems like a fairly big town/city.

The real question is which is better - Okotoks or Airdrie.

For a real twist - how about East Gwillimbury? With an annual growth rate between 2016 and 2021 of 8.8%, by 2050 it'll have a population of 408,000 and by 2100 a population of over 28 million! By 2223, a population of over 1 billion people! Even more things to do than Okotoks!

I noticed that too. Every quarter they adjust the numbers and change the estimates on the graphs, but this is an unusual stoppage. The time clock is running but no numbers. Maybe has something to do with the big under counting of temporary residents earlier this year.

What about Milton?

Currently at 132,000 people -- there was a 71.4% increase from 2001 to 2006 and a 56.5% increase from 2006 to 2011. Slowed down since, but let's get it back to those growth numbers and kick Ocotoks's ass!

100% Okotoks. It actually has a quaint old town mainstreet with some nice historic buildings and a beautiful river valley. Airdrie is just a suburb with no historic stock, a highway dividing it and a giant ugly water tower from Mars.

Okotoks has been surpassed by the much faster growing Cochrane, west of Calgary. Only difference is that Cochrane is part of the Calgary CMA, while Okotoks soon will be.

Unless there is a major reworking of current boundaries, Okotoks will NEVER be part of the Calgary CMA.

A CMA must be a continuous urban environment and between Okotoks and Calgary is a small section of Foot Hills MD which is not subdivided into towns but surrounds several ie OK/HR. This means that to include OK, the CMA must include all of Foot Hills MD which is a truly massive 3600 km2.

Damn rights. Calgary will become part of Okotoks.

Ya, that's exactly what I was thinking. When the big banks state that the numbers are grossly undercount, it lowers the credibility of the pop clock itself and even quarterly pop estimates.

It's likely that Foothills MD will be added to the Calgary CMA too. Currently the Calgary CMA boundary ends at the southern City limits. That doesn't make much sense.

Ottawa: 8047 km2
Calgary: 5099 km2
Edmonton: 9416 km2

Ottawa's city limits are absurd. Driving northbound on the 416, you see this sign "Ottawa: Canada's capital. Population 1,000,000". Twenty minutes of more driving, and it is still trees and fields. If it were a bit larger, it could take in Okotoks.
