Very nice, Rico. I was there during F1 weekend and took a few similar shots.

Toronto has a crazy number of subsidiary skylines. It is becoming like multi-nodal Tokyo in this regard.

I need to get to Tokyo, I bet every city feels quaint after a visit there. I believe Tokyo's population is greater then all of Canada.

No longer - Tokyo's population is on the decline (aging population, very little immigration, low birthrate), while ours is surging.

Canada's current population is 38,918,000, metro Tokyo is 40,800,000.

According to Statistics Canada's "Canada's population clock (real-time model)", we have just over 40.5 million people. Still less than Tokyo, but close!

UN estimate seems to have Tokyo at 37.1M

You might be surprised - Tokyo is quite orderly & serene for such a massive city; and because it's so decentralised there isn't really any singular area that feels like it's on the same scale as say, Manhattan. Its scale is expressed more through its vastness - the endlessness of it all is pretty mind-blowing - but not easily perceptible until you're rolling through the city at 300km/h.

The one upside of Trudeau's immigration ponzi scheme though is that no one can claim that Tokyo or California are more populous than Canada anymore.

I've been to Tokyo twice. It is on a completely different level than any other city I have visited, including other behemoth Asian cities like Seoul and Shanghai. It also feels much bigger and vibrant than NYC. Easily one of my three favourite cities on the planet.

I believe Tokyo's population maxed out a couple of years ago, at just under 38 million.

Nothing ironic about counting units. Of course nobody would use a country and a city interchangeably (aside from a few city states like Singapore). I fail to see the irony (the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite).

IThe jist of Japan being one of the most insular places in the world and Canada being one of the most pro immigration lwith city to country populations which is just weird. California is hovering around 40 million if it's just about the number and not how those numbers were achieved. It's just stupid.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the population figures being compared.
And it has nothing to do with the notion of "irony".

Comparing Canada's and Tokyo's populations is like rain on your wedding day or a traffic jam when you're already late.

Or perhaps like a free ride when you're already late.

A slice of North York (13 kilometres from downtown).
