Perhaps it’s no surprise that Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver rank as Canada’s top three largest metropolitan areas.
But recent stats from Statistics Canada show that Calgary has overtaken the national capital, Ottawa, as Number 4.
The national population of Canada has also increased, as of 2009.
The country’s population is now 33,739,900 — about one-tenth as large as the United States, which is home to more than 308 million people.
