I find the numbers a bit surprising. BC does its own counts and estimates Vancouver at 2,404,911, roughly 100,000 people more than Statscan. I understand this is an inexact science but 100,000 people is hardly an insignificant number. What gives?

Interesting to note there are now officially more people in Alberta + BC than in Quebec. No surprise there, its been a long time coming, but for the fist time it's official as last census Quebec still held an edge.
