I just simply do not trust anyone to rewrite the framework.
Like Trudeau's Repatriation :roll: Charlottetown :roll: Meech Lake : :roll:
I'm with you. As an Albertan I don't trust Central Canada to act in my interests. 25 years after Trudeau 'acting in Canada's interest' the election results in alberta will be:
Cons: 28
Libs: 0
There is no such thing as "Central Canada" in reality and Trudeau is dead and was not "Central Canada" either; it was a politician and name the election and I'll show you every Liberal vote in the Albertas at the time.
All of the talk of some alleged singularity of "Quebec" separating (or the like, kicking the Canadas, plural, there is no such thing as "Canada" as any singularity either; there is no such thing as "an Albertan" either; wake up; and any "real Albertan," if there were such a thing, would most certainly not have missed the propaganda about the NEP around Trudeau
) but this alleged singularity of "Quebec" is half (slightly over in mostly deserted land mass) of the alleged "Central Canada thing" with some alleged singularity of "Ontario" as the other half -- when neither exist -- in reality. And if the alleged singularity of "Quebec" is separating then how could there be some "Central Canada?" of some singular "Ontario AND Quebec?" Ontario must be "separating" too.
And it's:
Cons: 28
Pros: 0
These exist in semi-reality:

Introduction
Statistics Canada, and others, use terms to refer to what we normally refer to by their political names (counties, cities, towns, townships, villages, reserves, etc.) and many other terms that mean the same but have different names due to federal and provincial/territorial statutes.
For example, Ontario has County jurisdictions but also United Counties, Regional Municipalities and Divisions and similar is the case in other jurisdictions. What the real (legal) differences are, lay in looking up the terms to find out, or emailing "your" wonderful MPP/MNA/MLA to see if it has a clue. :lol: But you'll probably have much better luck with Google, if you know how to use it (a masters degree in nuclear temporal paradigmical compensational dimensions is required to use Google properly; or you could always click on "About Google" then read the online help to get the basics down; or more).
The Canadas are is also bilingual with Québécois-French (this is English in case you were wondering what the other language is), so city may be cité or ville (Ville de Montréal doesn't mean village) any number of other names; not just due to Québécois-French but due to provincial statutes that allow whatever they allow "counties" to be called, to be called something else and to have pseudo-governments to come up with even more names for things.
These political jurisdictions are not always useful (to say the least) in the Canadas, so for statistical purposes, Statistics Canada uses the legal names and political lines/boundaries anyway for no apparent reason, while slapping other labels on top of them to confuse you even more. After all, isn't that what our taxes that pay for "good" government agencies exist for?
The following terms are used in this paper (it's actually electronic; no paper was involved) ... so I thought it might be an idea to point out what the labels you'll see below claim to mean, even though it's not true in many cases.
This is where it starts and where it all goes wrong:
CSDs are the building blocks of CMAs and CAs and every other "statistical label"
___________________________________________________________
Census Subdivision (CSD)
Area that is a
municipality or [get this]
an area that is deemed to be equivalent to a municipality for statistical reporting purposes (e.g., as an Indian reserve or an unorganized territory [or far too many municipalities to bother with in South Ontario, so just lump dozens of them together into one CSD and give them crappy stats while using real municipalities with 1,000 or fewer people in them in the hinterlands to give them amazing stats -- without one important stat: "How many people in this CSD have Internet access or a clue what Internet access even is, let alone would go to Statistics Canada to find out what it already knows, because they all know each other's NAMES :?::!:]).
Municipal status is defined by laws in effect in each province and territory in Canada. [
Politics around geographic/demographic "statistics," and the starting point, the most basic building blocks of everything? There are
147 types of CSDs and you can read all about them, or at least have a glance for a laugh,
here. And probably in the "Detailed Description" link below too. They have entire web sites devoted to explaining it all and duplicate it with dozens of entire web sites instead of, like creating one link "What's all this Census Division (CD-County), Census Municipality (CSD, um, a city-region so why not just call it that), Census Agglomeration (CA, which is where it falls apart; good luck trying to explain those things), Census Subdisivision (CSD -- municipalities or not, make up your minds?) crap?" that links to
one description ... but that would save us taxes, so take your pick of their dictionaries/definitions from some of the links below; this one is the best that I've found, as in gives you the basics and you can get a sort of "multimedia" tutorial or more detailed description and see if you then believe any of that.]

___________________________________________________________
Census Metropolitan Area (CMA and MA, equivalent to city-region)
Area consisting of one or more adjacent municipalities situated around a major urban core. To form a census metropolitan area, the urban core must have a population of at least 100,000. To form a census agglomeration, the urban core must have a population of at least 10,000.

Detailed Description
__________________________________________________________
Census Agglomeration (CA)
See above for CAs. When a CA reaches 50,000 in population,
census tracts are added. Don't flip on me, I don't do it and if you don't care what they are then good for you. I don't particularly care either, but had to research it all to get a clue.
___________________________________________________________
Census Tract (CT)
Area that is small and relatively stable. Census tracts usually have a population of 2,500 to 8,000. They are located in urban centers [Ed: spelling correction; it stated "centres" like some French thing, centrés; why not? It's center, not centre] that must have an urban core population of 50,000 or more.

NOTE:
CMAs and CAs that cross provincial borders have only the populations that reside in the "current" (heading) "province" listed, but both provinces are listed to show that it crosses a "provincial" line. For example, the Ottawa-Hull CMA has its Ontario population listed in the Ontario section and (ON/QC) follows the CMA name. In the Québec section, only the portion of the CMA that resides in Québec is listed and (QC/ON) follows the CMA name. There are no totals (in these tables) for such CMAs/CAs, because everything is divided up by province/territory, so totals across provincial lines are irrelevant.

%Pop is the 2001 population as a percentage of the
total ("Canada") 2001 population. As in 45.05% of the population of the Canadas are in CMAs of the Windsor-Québec City corridor; I mean "Ontario" and "Quebec" (ON+QC):
Windsor-Québec City Corridor, 2001
Ontario Section
10,706,513 93% of Ontario's population
Québec Section
6,327,354 87% of Quebec's population
Total Population
17,033,867 57% of Canada's population
Source: Statistics Canada 2001 Census
And other than around business, mainly transportation/communications, there is no singular "Windsor-Québec City corridor" either; on the "Ontario" or the "Québec" side (which is mainly the Montréals), let alone as some singular "South Ontario-Southwest Quebec bliss of harmony, unity and love-fests," so deep that even political pond scum notices. There are nothing but political wars/disasters in the "GTA thing" and Toronto City Hall is a zoo; mainly due to the continued delusion that some singular "Ontario thing" exists, which has the far less than worthless "Ontario" feds trying to dictate everything, while they steal our MUNICIPAL taxes because they can't even pay their bills to dictate to us; so time's are definitely changing and South Ontario can't just mouth off like the rest of you can, publicly in your big "mass media" or the entire world would notice and it'd screw up investment and plenty more.
When South Ontario is ready to truly "bitch" you'll know about it, because it'll last for about a week, if there's any need to bitch (if something goes wrong with the mass marketing; though that would be unfortunate -- for "y'all") and then the new union constitution and economic charters (ya, plural) will be installed and it'll be over without much of a blip on the TSX. And I don't know of anyone here or in the U.S. or anywhere else who has inquired about getting advice from prairie or any other hicks (it's what "provincial" means; or unsophisticated simpleton bumpkinly rustic rural bucolic yokel rube yahoo hayseed chawbacon hicks), who know nothing about real economics, nothing about real R&D, global competition, nothing about much of anything, prove it, have been for decades, and mistake the necessary social inclusion ("tolerance") and many other investments around knowledge-based economies for "liberalism" because they're clueless; and it comes right out of the "Alberta" Ministry of Finance and makes for quite humorous reading, let alone its "newz media" (media, plural, not medium).
52.2% of the total population of all CMAs in the Canadas are in the Windsor-Québec City corridor - Lower Mainland-south Vancouver Island (ON+QC+BC), until the "CANADA" summary (last table above), which also the total population of the Canadas (the population percentages, "percent of total population of the Canadas" based on the 2001 Census total as in the other tables; not the 1996 Census).
"Less" means the total population of the Canadas minus the populations of all CMAs combined then minus the populations of all CMAs and CAs combined leaving only 5.8 million people (and there are square kilometers for every CMA and CA and for the Canadas but it's not above to show even more clearly... go to it); not much out there. It's where "80% of Canadians live in cities" comes from (80.62% actually, just subtract the 19.38 above who don't even live in pathetic "census agglomerations" from 100 -- as in 100% to reverse a percentage), and the rest is losing population; 40,074 just from the 1996 Census to the 2001 Census. Not a lot (0.68%) but it's not growth and is quite a long-term trend.

PDF links, I clearly mark) link but read the first link; try one and see if it's worth your time. It wasn't worth mine.
StatsCON has to produce the most worthless maps around and unfortunately, other online and offline maps don't get into CMAs and CAs and other "geographic units" that StatsCON uses, so we're stuck with GeoStats and whatever other crappy maps around StatsCON -- unless you know differently and if so, please share. Who the hell knows where most of the CA things are and they have to be mapped out to see, other than the big ones "we" in various regions do know about, where the hell they are if their populations mean anything and then what the hell they do, what their industries are, what their GDP is, unemployment rate, net debt/surplus, not just "average household income" and other worthless demographic stats, like how many widows there are, male and female.
