News that Toronto has become the fourth largest city in North America seems easy to understand. People are flocking here from all over the world. Wonder why? Numbers 1, 2 and 3 are Mexico City, Los Angeles and New York. It’s an easy one. Toronto overtook Chicago last year apparently. According to the latest census data from Statistics Canada, as of last July 1, Toronto’s population was 2,791,140, about 84,000 more than Chicago’s 2,707,120. So after all the self-flagellation at City Hall over starvation (where?) bad transit (here comes the bus now) and crime (just try and buy a handgun at Wal Mart) Toronto comes out ahead in the migration stakes.
