Longueuil needs some immigrants. It is unbelievably homogenous for a city of 230,000 people and less than 5km from downtown. Look at the stats from 2006, and you'll be quite surprised.

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.

There is VERY little development of any kind in Longueuil. I think there are like 5 condo projects (all less than 4 stories) in all of Longueuil.

We're getting plenty here in Saint John. We have the most immigrants as a % of population in New Brunswick.

All hope is not lost for Ontario, population decline/slowdown may be reversed in coming economic cycles:

Adding 700,000 people is population decline? lol.

Where are you getting 100,000? I'm getting just around 40,000 with those two added. Seems your numbers are way off.

Say what? If it took me four hours to get from YEG-YYC I'd kill somebody. It's about a 2.5hr trip by car. 280 kilometers.

haljackey · #**128** Posted **Feb 9, 2012, 3:04 AM**

Sooooooooooooooooo close............

I really thought Mississauga was going to surpass Detroit.

Detroit: 713,777 (2010)
Mississauga: 713,443 (2011)

Toronto is also inches away from overtaking Chicago:

Chicago: 2,695,598 (2010)
Toronto: 2,615,060 (2011)

Crazy close yo!

The Grande Prairie CA numbers really ticked me off...in 2006 the agglomeration was the city and the county, which amounted to roughly 70k...I was expecting somewhere around 85k this time around....only to find out that now the CITY is all that counts as the census agglomeration? Well, at least the city is continuing to grow...but still

why on earth would you drive from one airport to the next? wouldn't a plane be faster? Unless Yeg-Yick are two towns

thurmas · #**131** Posted **Feb 9, 2012, 3:08 AM**

These numbers don't make sense Stats Can own population clock had Canada at 34.4 million just last month how could they be 1 million people short?

BretttheRiderFan · #**132** Posted **Feb 9, 2012, 3:10 AM**

As for demographic changes since 2006, I'd expect the population as a whole to be older, and the population of visible minorities to be higher across the nation.

I'd expect the percentages of Aboriginals in Sask/Manitoba to continue to balloon as well.

For here in Grande Prairie, I'm looking forward to seeing the change in Filipino and black percentages since 2006 as I sense it has gone way up.

People quite often drive from Edmonton to Calgary's airport... Saves money apparently, though I rarely see much incentive.

flar · #**134** Posted **Feb 9, 2012, 3:27 AM**

I'm a bit surprised at Winnipeg's showing, I thought they'd be closer to 750k. I'm not surprised at Ottawa being 4th, it's been growing like crazy, building both up and out. Mostly out unfortunately, Barrhaven, Stittsville, Kanata and Riverside South have houses going up by the minute.

I suggest reading the rest of the thread (as should every other person who is confused by numbers). The explanation has been given several times already.

waterloowarrior · #**136** Posted **Feb 9, 2012, 4:20 AM**

5 ridings with 190k plus population, wow!
http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-re...0&SR=1&S=3&O=D

Oak Ridges - Markham with 229k (!), about as much as the 7 smallest ridings combined.

Average riding size went from 102,639 to 108,691

I'm totally blown away. ONLY 334 people difference!! But again, Detroit is declining, while Sauga is growing, but will grow slower and slower. Sauga likely have added 7,500 - 10,000 people this year. So it is for sure that Sauga's > Detroit's as of now.

Toronto can surpass Chicago in the next census hopefully, depending on the condo boom.

Brampton's growth is also significant, but reaching 9th place is really a milestone, surpassing Tucson, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, Kansas City, and US's largest suburb, Mesa. Just imagine if Mississauga and Brampton combined: we would be Canada's 3rd largest city!!!

Tibor420 · #**138** Posted **Feb 9, 2012, 4:42 AM**

Im shocked that Kitchener is the 4th densest CMA in Canada... i live here... nothings dense except a lot of the people....

I dont get why all of Waterloo Region isnt in its CMA... the CMA is tiny. It would still be tiny if we added the 2 townships left out hahaha

I'm wondering the same thing.

Perhaps it's a Statscan thing.

Population Centres = Urban Areas?
