KWC is no surprise as the diploma mill of Conestoga is slowing down. Hamilton, Niagara, and Barrie continue to see some growth probably due to fleeing Torontonians. London and Windsor are seeing slow but steady growth.
Chatham-Kent is very doing well which is not surprising. It is a very nice area with a lot of very pleasant small towns, has the mildest and least amount of snow outside BC, the housing is still very affordable, and yet no matter where you are you are basically within an hour max of either London or Windsor.
Montreal is still hanging on I think because she never got the massive inflow of Indians like English Canada. Ottawa doing good BUT these stats are when Trudeau's reigh of terror when the civil service was exploding. Now that the big layoffs are starting, Ottawa will get hit hard. Calgary and Edmonton are rocking as expected but that will slow massively next year as immigration reverses and fewer Ontarians moving there as housing prices plunge in Ontario making the move make less financial sense. Vancouver is basically at nil but will plunge greatly as Indians are going home and yet, unlike Ontario, housing costs are still astronomical so the move to Alberta is still very beneficial.
PS..........Surrealplaces. Next time I tell you that your estimates are off and wildly pessimistic, you have my authorization to tell me to shut my mouth.

Where are you getting -22,000? The Stats Canada data from today says Brampton went from 783,000 to 777,000, so -6,000.
The City of Toronto went from 3,280,000 to 3,271,000, so a loss of 9,000.
Mississauga posted the largest loss - 781,000 to 764,000 - a loss of 17,000!
Most other 905 municipalities posted growth, outside of a few oddities (Uxbridge, Burlington, and Aurora from a quick search).
Hamilton actually posted some of the strongest growth in the 905 - +7,000.
The trend is clearly that the Toronto core is losing population while the outer GTA continues to grow.
