Castlegar up 7.7% to 7816. Rural population doubles that.

It should be. Burlington is Part of the GTA. You need to accept the fact more people in Burlington work in Toronto.

The word Okotoks and Calgary are synonymous with every census thread.

You're a university professor- you should be able to come up with something besides mocking the position of most Calgary forumers on this issue.

Your superiority complex is showing.

And, yes, I understand the irony of my response (mocking instead of debating).

meh, more fun to anticipate the reactions. Stop taking yourself so seriously. I get enough of that at faculty meetings.

I also would mock those in my hometown pining for the addition of Sorel or Jolliette to the Montreal CMA. Boundaries do not make a city greater.

Milton is the fastest growing city in Canada, 56% growth rate.

Population is closing in on 100,000 people, don't know if it's included in the Toronto CMA, otherwise, it will be it's own CMA shortly.

You're absolutely right. The numbers don't make any difference, and neighboring MDs and towns are only separated by imaginary lines and boundaries..... but it is human nature that a thread based on numbers and comparisons will draw these kinds of reactions/debates/discussions. If there was no reason to discuss Sorel or Okotoks, etc... there almost wouldn't be a need for this thread.

My city of Gatineau is at 265,000, up around 9% from 242,000. I have to check but I think this is quite a bit above any of the local projections that I had heard around here. I believe we weren't forecast to hit 270,000 or 275,000 until something like 2031, but we were already at 265 last year...

We might be closer to 400 000 by then.

Still a long way from Laval for 3rd largest city in Quebec.

No it should not be. Most people from Burlington work in Burlington. Marginally more people work in Toronto than Hamilton. But those numbers are dwarfed by commuters from Hamilton to Burlington. The relevant fact is that almost all businesses established in the Hamilton area since about 1970 have located in Burlington. Burlington is a newer, lower taxes, better for business city built directly beside the decaying, corrupt, industrial slum. There are clearly far more ties between Burlington and Hamilton than Burlington and Toronto.

9.6 % growth rate for Gatineau between 2006-2011. That's the second highest for cities in Quebec (after Terrebonne) :

http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-re...1&SR=1&S=3&O=D

10 Largest city pops (not metro)

Montreal : 1.8
Quebec: 5.2
Laval : 8.9
Gatineau : 9.6
Longueuil : 0.9
Sherbrooke : 1.9
Saguenay : 0.7
Lévis : 6.7
Trois Rivières : 4.0
Terrebonne : 12.3

Longueuil is surprising.

I thought Calgary passed Ottawa a couple years ago? Either way, good numbers for Cowtown.

Much of Longueuil today is older, inner suburbia-style. When they first did the mega-mergers it included younger more dynamic areas like Boucherville and Saint-Bruno, but these demerged when given the opportunity.

Random pointless projection based solely on the 2006-11 growth rates:

Alberta will overtake BC in population in 2037. Only 25 years to go.

This of course assumes absolutely nothing changes in the next 25 years, which is ridiculous.

Most People from Oakville work in Oakville as well. Who cares if someone from Hamilton commutes to Burlington, thats not whats at issue here. Most people from Burlington only associate with Hamilton because they come there. You should in no way prevent people from associating with a growth center because of past ties.
