I've been doing a lot of research on various places in Canada and I have come to the very obvious conclusion that our population base is ridiculously low.

Just look at some of these figures from the 100 largest urban areas in Canada by population . You see, I know that I am ultimately a person who needs to live in a major city and unfortunately, we've only got 3 that are over a million. Sometimes I think it would be better for me to live in the States, just because I love big city life, but you know, then my whole "Canadian cultural creator/producer" thing would have to go and I really love my own country. I love change and living overseas, but ultimately, I need to be in Canada.

That's also horribly out of date. Calgary recently proclaimed itself to have hit one million and it's growing every day. About a year ago, there were something like 50-75 people moving here every day. That's died down a little, but it's still growing.

I'm torn. I like the bustle of the big city, but sometimes, I think I wouldn't mind the quiet, peaceful life one could live closer to nature and the wide open spaces Canada is famous for. I'm not even talking about small towns. I grew up in a small town. I'm a person of extremes. Either it's a megalopolis or a cabin in the tundra.

Basically, I wish I could have a small patch of sky-scrapers surrounded by a huge forest and mountains.
