There is a lot of farm land biasing Saskatoon's density numbers down when you consider the actual city fits nicely in a 15km x 15km square (225 sq kms) on google. And Calgary at 5,107 sq kms and Edmonton at 9,426 sq kms.? CMA areas are not suitable for calculating density. The one thing I take away from those statscan density figures is that we have no idea what the density of canadian cities are.
