[edit] 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 [1].

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.
