Increasing populations
Recently the local newspaper did a historical review of its corporate origins and growth. What made me pause was a table showing the growth in population over the last century. The province of Quebec has grown from 1.5 million to just over 7 million in one hundred years. The city of the same name has grown from 150,000 to just over 700,000 in the same time period. Very balanced numbers. They certainly poke a hole in the myth that the country mouse has become the city mouse.
