Most Maritimers & Newfoundlanders go out West temporairly to get a tonne of money then return home to settle down, have kids and eventually retire. And since Alberta isn't such a profitable place now some Maritimers are returning home to continue their education and find good jobs either here or in Ontario.
Yes, from a historical perspective, those Quebec figures are quite impressive when stacked up next to Ontario.

BC should be able to hit 4.5M next quarter. Looking good for Metro Van because that's where 90% of the population growth in BC is anyways, haha Then onward to 5M in a couple of years.
BC is the fastest growing province. Cool. And look at the north.

So well over half of that is in HRM so for a three month period we're doing pretty damn good. Maybe we will reach that half a million mark in my lifetime.
The West (BC, AB, SK, MB): 10,394,922 to 10,445,083 :: +0.48%
Quebec: 7,828,879 to 7,856,881 :: +0.36%
Atlantic Canada: 2,337,561 to 2,342,500 :: +0.21%
thanks for the summary. this also marks the first time that Canada's western provinces (west of Ontario) are now more most populous than those East of Ontario.

That's significant.

It is significant because it continues to show the westward trend in Canada.
Likewise the Western 4 provinces now have 30.84% of Canada's population. I would say that is a drastically higher % than 100, 50, or even 10 years ago.

More people than any point in history are living in Saskatchewan.
According to Statistics Canada on Wednesday, the population of the province as of Oct. 1 was at an all-time high of 1,034,974 — surpassing the 1,032,799 on July 1, 1987.
The total was up 4,845 over the past three months and 16,080 year over year.
“One of the best ways to measure the strength of a province and its economy is to ask the question: ‘Are more people moving in or moving out?’ ” said Advanced Education, Employment and Labour Minister Rob Norris.
“In 2009, there were a lot more people moving into Saskatchewan.”
Saskatchewan growth rate of 0.47 per cent in the past three months was second only to British Columbia among Canadian provinces. The growth was spurred by a natural increase (births minus deaths) of 1,495, net interprovincial migration of 823 and net international migration of 2,527.
Over the past two years, Saskatchewan’s population has grown by almost 30,000 — the biggest increase in any two-year period since 1952-54.
Norris said with Saskatchewan forecast to lead the nation in economic growth in 2010, he expects the population to continue growing.
