Just to give me something to do, and this is speculation. Taking the confirmed 2019 HRM population, and assuming same rate of growth, which we don't really know due to covid for 2020 and 2021, when the east hants corridor will likely be added. Since Mt uniacke is along the 101 and is close to Halifax, I added their last confirmed population as well.
HRM = 440,350 (grew by ~9,500 from 2018 > apply growth rate for 2020-21)
Hants corridor & mt Uniacke = ~27,500 in 2019
Tallied up the potential population
could be in the ballpark of 486,850 people for 2021, which would be impressive to say the least
