Indeed. I didn't editorialize, but the City of Moncton is about 71,000, not 85,000. This means that Moncton is still a bit larger than Portland, but as you pointed out, the Portland metro area is larger than the Moncton CMA (~155,000). It should be noted however that the term MSA (metropolitan statistical area) is not entirely comparable to the term CMA used in Canada. If you were to consider the Moncton region in a similar manner, it would include all of Westmorland, Kent and Albert counties, and would total nearly 240,000 people (Portland MSA = 514,000).
