From the Paper:

"Economic Geography Edmonton and Vancouver Over the past decade several changes have occurred within Canada's 15 largest census metropolitan areas (CMAs). Many of these changes are a result of the redistributions in the industrial segments resulting in a increase in employment levels as well as population (Bourne & Simmons, 2003, p. 23). In addition to this Canada, like many other nations has experienced a change in its import and export levels within the production industries throughout most of the country. The one component which is very overwhelming when reviewing the data regarding Canada's past and present is that, regardless of the large land mass forming Canada's geographic base, the major population levels for Canada reside in one of its 15 CMAs.
