Toronto is also inches away from overtaking Chicago:

Chicago: 2,695,598 (2010)
Toronto: 2,615,060 (2011)

Crazy close yo!
I'm totally blown away. ONLY 334 people difference!! But again, Detroit is declining, while Sauga is growing, but will grow slower and slower. Sauga likely have added 7,500 - 10,000 people this year. So it is for sure that Sauga's > Detroit's as of now.

Toronto can surpass Chicago in the next census hopefully, depending on the condo boom.

Brampton's growth is also significant, but reaching 9th place is really a milestone, surpassing Tucson, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, Kansas City, and US's largest suburb, Mesa. Just imagine if Mississauga and Brampton combined: we would be Canada's 3rd largest city!!!
