- Good Morning Geography Buffs,
In this video we walk through what constitutes a Metro Area according for Stats Canada and than we discuss the fastest growing metro areas in each Canadian Province. This metric is extracted from the 2021 Census by examining the percentage increase in population between the 2016-2021 census.
Hope you enjoy the video,
Cheers,

1. Apologies, I incorrectly included Newfoundland and Labrador in the Maritime provinces.
2.If anyone is interested in viewing the maps for each of Canada's CMAs, they are available here: www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/as-sa/fogs-spg/index.cfm?Lang=E
You should know better, Newfoundland isn't a Maritime Province
Should have said atlantic Canada
It's simple, I see Urban Atlas has posted, I watch :D Love your videos, you're doing super
And I appreciate you as always 🙏❤️
@@Urban_Atlas thank you for the reply! Means a lot! :)
These videos are amazing. So glad you make these. keep up the awesome work
Thanks man 🙏
An interesting fact about Manitoba is that WInnipeg is the most dominant city, population-wise, compared to the rest of its province. As such, you sometimes see an imbalance in regional representation. For that reason, I think if Canada ever wanted to do a Washington DC style form of governance.. ie, not have the federal seat of power as a subordinate of its own state (Ottawa), it would be the best option. Redraw the boundaries of Manitoba to the city itself, and carve up the territory outside the city for Sask and Ontario jurisdiction. Given the neutral location of the city (neither east coast nor west coast), I think it would be the more impartial, and thus you'd see less corruption than we see now. I can guarantee people from Alberta would rather see Winnipeg as the capital, rather than Ottawa.
Another thing to ponder, about these city-states is that they typically cannot feed themselves, without the cooperation of their neighbors, thus, forcing them to be fair and non-totalitarian. Ottawa, currently, can always fund Bay street banks in Toronto, to be taken care of, in the event they act unfairly. In fact, that's exactly what has been happening for decades.
Moncton, NB has now been the fastest growing city in Canada for 2 years now (2022 and 2023) and is on track for 2024 as well, in 2024, Moncton is now at 180,000 people!
I love the contents of your videos. Best of luck. Waiting for your next video.
Thank you!
Great video, very informative
Thank you!
One thing about CMAs is that Stats Can has said that a CMA, once created, can never be dissolved.
So if a CMA shrinks, it will remain a CMA. And more importantly, if you have 2 CMAs that are growing side by side, they can never be combined.
This is becoming a bit of an issue in BC, Ontario and Quebec, as the Vancouver CMA is rubbing shoulders with its neighbours, as are some of the Ontario ones (Kitchener/Cambridge/Waterloo with Guelph and probably London soon, along with Toronto with Hamilton). I'm pretty sure Montreal's bumping into some CMAs as well but I haven't checked for certain.
I love this comment! You are absolutely correct, CMAs even if they decline below 100,000 will still be CMAs, meaning in the future there may be CMAs below 100k in population. I also think not combining CMAs is an issue as you said, several large CMAs are now basically connected with significant integration between them. I think stats Canada may need a separate classification for these mega regions or megalopolis areas like the Toronto, Hamilton, Guelph, Kitchener/Waterloo CMAs as these regions behave differently than your standard CMA like Saskatoon and thus should be classified differently.
It will be interesting to do the same with the coming 2026 census, which will show the full pandemic population reshuffle. Quite a few of these metro area are still hot spot to move to.^_^
Absolutely! My goal is to make a part 2 of this video comparing these results to the 2026 results! Would be an interesting analysis for sure! 🙏
Great vid
Thank you!
340k for Saskatoon now.
I’m sure newer data would show Oshawa’s CMA growing faster than London. It’s been a boomtown the past few years
Very much possible, we just gotta wait for the 2026 census now., will be interesting comparing 2021 results to 2026 results.
Halifax is well over 500,000 now
And growing quickly!
The Toronto Metro Area isn't it's CMA, it's the GTA, which excludes a lot of that empty area, and includes Burlington
The map I showed is literally from Stats Canada Geography. There is a Toronto CMA, and no it includes all the area included in the map and Burlington is part of the Hamilton CMA. The Toronto CMA and the GTA are 2 different things. I can provide you links to the Maps of both if you would like.
@@Urban_Atlas No i'm saying the CMA isn't Toronto's metro area. A metro area commutes into it's main city, which is what the GTA represents. No one uses the CMA as Toronto's metro area, as it's not actually it's "metro area". The GTA is
@@dukezap1 ok I see what you are saying. Apologies for the Confusion.
@@dukezap1 Not correct either. The CMA is the official definition of metropolitan area so dukezap1 is 100% correct. For practical purposes/when comparing to US MSAs, the appropriate catchment area is Toronto CMA + Oshawa CMA + Hamilton CMA. These 3 metropolitan areas grew into each other decades ago and are becoming ever more integrated. Statistics Canada keeps CMAs separate so data from 1 Census is comparable to data from another Census. Lots of people still use GTA but it's not that useful.
To quote Family Guy, "5's and 6's, that's where the bargains are!"... That's why Edmonton is growing in fact the fastest in Canada over a sustained 10-year timeframe but second only to Orlando over the last 10 years with a 22% growth rate to O-Town's 23%... Austin, Texas Edmonton's American twin city was also growing at 22% and ditto with Calgary which was growing much faster but because of cost of living issues has slowed... Even our families childhood home sold in one day over listing and we're from the least desirable part of Edmonton...
It’s actually insane how far Orlando has grown! Considering that fact that it was just originally growing around Disney! Now it’s a sprawling monster.
Sherbrooke is far from being a beautiful city, but rhe area around it is gorgeous.
Way to go Eskatchytoon!!!
The Maritimes would be proud to include Newfoundland and Labrador as the fourth Maritime Province, however, when non Atlantic Canadians, through ignorance, include Newfoundland and Labrador as one of the Maritime Provinces it is a symptom of the dismissive nature of Canadians toward all of the east coast provinces. Highly insulting to Atlantic Canadians.
Sorry if you feel insulted, I have already apologized in the pinned comments.
guys i shat my pants
Newfoundland & Labrador is NOT in the Maritimes. The Maritime provinces are New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia.
Yea my mistake, I should have said Atlantic Canada, not Maritimes
RAAHHHH EDMONTON MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯 WTF IS WARM WEATHER????????
My friends from Edmonton call it Deadmonton 💀
you missed kamloops 30percent oin 3 years
Wait what, St. Thomas is a C.S.D. within London... but a different St.Thomas is a municipality about a half hour-45 min drive away too?
Otherwise why not include Ingersoll & Strathroy & make it all completely meaningless.
It’s a CSD within the London CMA. the City of London and the London CMA are 2 different geographies. I know it can be a bit confusing.
Your red arrow points to the province, not the approximate location of the metro area. Which is confusing.
Apologies for that I know it’s a bit confusing.
Please for the love of all that is holy, slow the spin
I had a feeling someone would comment this, my bad on this one, honestly when I was editing the video it didn’t seem that fast. The finished product seems a lot faster 😔. Sorry
@@Urban_Atlas
I have found some of my uploads seem to run faster on youtube then they did while editing, it is all good.
Brampton is the second fastest growing city in all of Canada. Represent!
That’s cuz all the indians Are taking over canada and they live there
The cities and towns are so much cooler than the metros. Metros be lame and overcrowded example one, everyone in Toronto hates living there.
The bigger the urban area, the bigger the challenges!
@@Urban_Atlas yeah but Toronto living just sucks. Something basically every torontonian agrees with.
@@Walkerxy there are many issues with Toronto, traffic, affordability, crime, older infrastructure etc.
And yet still they come...
@@Walkerxy not me, dude. love it here. Some people just don't fit into city living, and will never be happy unless they can hear a cow mooing. Most of the "crime" exists only in their imaginations. The highest crime places in Canada are SMALL cities and burnt-out mining and lumber towns in the boonies --- that's where you find the drunks and the drug addicts. That, and dreary remote outer suburbs where the local dentist goes crazy from boredom and kills himself and his family, or the local bigot goes insane because they see a sign in a foreign language. Toronto's crime rates have always been low, and Montreal's crime rate is SUPER low by North American standards. I don't care about traffic, because I'm a city person living downtown and can walk or bike to anything I need in minutes --- and jump on transit if I want something further out. But people who hate cities cherish their mythology.
