Talk:Demographics of Ontario

Spoken Languages
Should we add a spoken languages section? There are some interesting data around, and this seems like an appropriate place. For instance, I heard on Radio Canada 2 years ago that Mandarin speakers outnumber French speakers in Ontario. I also know anecdotally that there are populations of Portuguese, Cantonese, Korean, Hindi, Tamil, Vietnamese, and other language speakers sufficient to support a person speaking only those languages for their entire lives without ever learning English.

Chart under the Historic populations section
The X-axis is not showing all the 20-year intervals dates properly on my device. I see ":32" instead of the years on each of the x axis ticks. Anyone else have this problem?

Source question
Can somebody advise me where this mythical "2005 Census" came from that was being cited in the "Metropolitan areas" subheading? Not to mention that even some of the 2001 census numbers were off — Sudbury's CMA came in at 155,601 in the 2001 census, not 161,000. Bearcat 01:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

--Oops sorry, forgot to put the sources. As of the 2001 census made by Stat Canada the population of Greater Sudbury was 161,500.
 * That's in direct conflict with the number that the very same agency gives here, and the last time a definition was publicized, the Sudbury CMA consisted of the city proper and two Indian reserves with a combined population of less than 500. So unless they're retroactively adjusting the numbers based on a new CMA definition that hasn't been publicly announced yet (Markstay-Warren/St. Charles?), I'm quite curious to know where the other 6,000 people came from that weren't part of the 2001 population in 2001.

The "Visible minorities and Aboriginals" table is not accurate. The sum of the individual components of the visible minorities section does equal the total for that subsection, and as a result, the percentages add up to more than 100%. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.111.80.31 (talk) 00:18, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

References for this article
All of the Statistics Canada references in the article lead in a two-step link to a note that they don't provide this information any more. It seems that Statistics Canada holds no census information online from before 1991. --Oldontarian (talk) 13:26, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
