Alberta has long been a place that drew inter-provincial migration, but now it is also starting to attract immigration due to the opportunities for employment.

In the context of bill C-20, the "obsession" becomes a little less bizarre.... and so do any Federal payments... which are based on population.

It's almost as if it's an important issue to a lot of people or something.

Although it's pretty off-topic, doesn't economics play a far greater role than population in the formula?

Not unless you insist on talking about it.... I made no reference to that (only you have) - either directly or indirectly since the fastest growing provinces don't qualify for equalization.... social transfers are separate from equalization payments.

The CMA is definitely higher though. I think it's actually really close to the number D-dog gave.

Regina is around D-dog's figure as well (for the CMA), city is probably about 200,000 now.

The main reason why payments are based on population is that the need for money increases as the population grows. On balance it's certainly not a given that service levels, or the quality of infrastructure improve as the population increases.

In many cases service levels seem to be worse in rapidly-growing areas because infrastructure doesn't keep up. I'm not sure Ontario is going to be such a great place if it really does hit 20 million or 30 million inhabitants. Toronto already has very long commutes for example. A place like Alberta that lives off of natural resources might not be better off with a large population since the revenues from natural resources are largely fixed and determined by the larger world economy.

I think this sentiment about how wonderful it is to have a rapidly-growing population dates back to past decades when Canada was an underpopulated backwater country. In the future, rapid population growth might not be very desirable. It is already undesirable in most parts of the world.

It's not really bizarre, just typical human nature. Any time you can measure and compare something, it automatically brings out a competitive streak.

What is perhaps a little bizarre is what happens in the US when cities are unhappy with the Census Bureau population stats... they sue the Bureau, because they want the federal funds they would get with a higher figure!

I wonder how close the GTA is to 7 million, usually runs 1 Million ahead of CMA.

CMA 5.8 mil
GTA 6.8 mil ? Perhaps?
