I appreciate franglais. It gives me a passing chance at understanding the entire conversation.

I met and interacted with a group of young Monctonians this week and their franglais was on another level. Their french accent is totally unique as well. It was my first exposure to Franco-NB.

The whole sentence is franglais but taken in isolation "pousser comme des champignons" is as you know a perfectly correct French idiomatic expression.

My gut feeling is they won’t be too helpful, with such high growth rates and lots of temporary foreign workers. Once things settle down again we’ll get better ideas of where things are at.

That would be my guess as well. The past year or so there’s been a fairly large interprovincial migration from BC and Ontario, to Alberta and the main driver seems to be the cost housing. I suspect a fair number of younger people looking at housing options are part of that.

Halifax: 13% increase (106,400 to 120,400)
Montreal: -1% decrease (896,917 to 887,485)
Ottawa-Gatineau: 2.5% increase (315,919 to 323,219
Toronto: 4.6% increase (1,525,651 to 1,589,865
Calgary: 1.2% increase (335,928 to 339,997)
Edmonton: -0.2% decrease (337,990 to 337,289)
Vancouver 4.6% increase (639,274 to 668,998)

If we had the 2023 data my hunch is that we'd see basically the same thing again, except probably Vancouver dropping a little, and Calgary and Edmonton gaining more--due in part directly to interprovincial migration between them all.

Have Montreal builders been canceling projects like in Toronto?

The city's 20-20-20 policy on affordable and social housing has slowed new starts. The city has made some changes to it, in order to spur new construction.

I think a big jump in the numbers is in the works a few months from now. Anecdotally, my firm (architect) has seen an influx of new residential projects. Some that were on-hold seeking financing are starting back up.

Calgary and Edmonton should see quite a bump in that age range as there was a massive interprovincial net gain last year, and the majority of those people will be in that age group. Halifax should continue along at a good pace with NS having interprovincial net gain.
