Manitoba gained almost 20,000 people in the last 12 months, shattering the record, since records were first recorded in 1971. The population of the province is now 1,308,000.
The Winnipeg CMA now has approximately 805,100 people. Th city itself has about 730,000 people.
We are growing fast. We are leaving the Hamilton-Burlington CMA in the dust, and are about to pass Quebec City CMA, to regain the #7 spot in Canada.

Only Toronto and Montreal was ahead in the 70's... Not sure how they counted the census then as one would think Vancouver would be above us.

Winnipeg used to think of ourselves as a big time city. If it wasn't for the Panama Canal, we would have been too!

I was actually referring to the Metro population of Winnipeg. Vancouver city is only 600,000 I believe, and 2,500,000 in the CMA.
Winnipeg was #3 from the turn of the 20th century until the mid 20's after the Panama Canal was built, and Vancouver overtook us. Winnipeg was #4 from the 20's to the mid 60's when Ottawa-Hull overtook us. Winnipeg was #5 from the late 60s to the mid 70s when Edmonton overtook us. Winnipeg was #6 from the mid 70s to 1981, when Calgary overtook us. Winnipeg was #7 from 1981 to the early 2000's when Hamilton and Quebec overtook us Winnipeg was #9 from the early 2000's until 2010 when we overtook Hamilton Winnipeg is #8, but is expected to overtake Quebec in the next 3-5 years.
Interesting to note that when the Jets left, Winnipeg lost population for 3 years from 1995-1997
In the past 5-7 years, Winnipeg is gaining around 10,000 people a year

I remember when Winnipeg was number 3. It probably was 1971! Lol We were still #3 when I was in elementary school which would have been 1980-1985 or so. The oil boom / bust propelled the Alberta cities ahead of us plus the presence of the Schreyer / Pawley NDP administrations drove investment elsewhere. m.

I thought maybe I was going mad there for a bit. Lol You have to keep in mind that Winnipeg was #3 until the 80s in city population. That would not include suburbs. An example would be Toronto not including Mississauga, Etobicoke, North York or Scarborough. Calgary passed us in population in 1981, in both city and metro area population. The city of Edmonton passed us in population sometime in the 90s as St.Albert, Sherwood Park, and others are satellite cities. here is a website that shows the history of Census Metropolitan Areas from 1931-2011: www.demographia.com/db-cancma.htm

City proper was what I was meaning. I was referring to Deuce claim that Winnipeg was #3 in city population between 1980-85. Winnipeg was actually #4 after Calgary passed us in 1980. In 1981, the top five were; 1. Montreal (980,000) 2. Toronto (599,000) before amalgamation in 1997. 3. Calgary (590,000) 4. Winnipeg (564,000 5. North York (559,000) 6. Edmonton (532,000) 7. Vancouver (414,000) 8. Mississauga (315,000) 9. Hamilton (306,000) 10. Ottawa (295,000) In 2011: 1. Toronto (2,615,000) 2. Montreal (1,649,000) 3. Calgary (1,096,000) 4. Ottawa (883,000) 5. Edmonton (821,000) 6. Mississauga (713,000) 7. Winnipeg (663,000) 8. Vancouver (603,000) 9. Brampton (524,000) 10. Hamilton (520,000) *Winnipeg amalgamated with it's suburbs in 1972. The population of Winnipeg before Unicity was 250,000

City stat is 100% meaningless because there are NO standards for what is to be considered part of a city either in the US or Canada. It's based on the whilms of the local politics.
Good example, in the US Jacksonville is a bigger "city" than San Francisco. El Paso is bigger than Boston, Washington and Detroit. Omaha is bigger than Miami and Minneapolis, Wichita is bigger than Cleveland LOL Enough said!

Metro is alright but CSA is better(for sports anyway, but you have to remove far flug places over an hour away like with Miami area) but you MUST remember other than Toronto Canada doesn't have CSA so you have to add in things within an hour of Montreal/Vancouver to be fair. You can't compare US CSA's to Canadian metros or Canada gets screwed.
