10 Million Toronto
Which do you think will occur first:
Greater Toronto hitting 10M population
-or-
Canada having 10 cities with a metro of at least 1 million
Toronto is at 6M now so requires another 4M people to reach 10M.
Canada already has 6 metros over 1M so a further 4 are required to reach 10.
Here are the top most populous CMA's as of 2016 census:
1. Toronto 5.9m
2. Montreal 4m
3. Vancouver 2.4m
4. Calgary 1.3m
5. Ottawa 1.3m
6. Edmonton 1.3m
7. QuebecCity 800k
8. Winnipeg 778k
9. Hamilton 747k
10. Kit/Water 523k
------------------
11. london 494k
12. st cath. 406k
13. halifax 400k
If you're cheering for 10 cities >1M before Toronto's 10M I fear it is the 10th spot that will let you down. Asking a city like London or K-W do double it's population before Toronto (6.1% growth rate) adds another 4M seems a little much.
Of course this will take decades either way and anything can happen.
Come on, Halifax!
