Talk:Quebec City–Windsor Corridor

message: Any reason the Montreal region is referred to as Montreal-Laval-Brossard ? Brossard isn't as big as other nearby cities part of the GMA such as Terrebonne or Repentigny, and certainly not as important as Longueuil. In any case, changed it to Greater Montreal Area, but am open to discussion if it's an accepted term by StatsCan. Yhave (talk) 20:19, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

message: My geography teacher has referred to this area as the Quebec-Windsor strip and the Quebec-Windsor Access. Is anyone else aware of these alternate names and if so should there be message about them at the top of the page?

message: I have removed the following section of text from the Geography section:  "The section of the corridor from Montreal to Hamilton (and again in Windsor) is close to or actually on the U.S. border."
While perhaps not 100% false, it is certainly misleading, and far from accurate.  The entire corridor is close to the U.S. border.  To suggest that the Hamilton to Montreal portion is any closer is not only misleading, it's false.  The fact that the entire corridor is in close proximity to the U.S. is covered in other portions of the text.  See Redundancy. Baribeau 20:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Proximity to US Border

message: This is my first stab at the page, but it needs a lot of work -- this is an article about where more than half of all Canadians live.  It would be especially useful if someone could add a map and some pictures, as well as more information on climate, flora, and fauna.  -- Dpm64 14:02, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I like this article, and think it's necessary, but I question the name choice. To me, Quebec City-Windsor corridor refers specifically to the passenger rail service that runs between those two cities. However, this article talks more generally about the history, geography, and various methods of transportation that exists in this region, including passenger rail (though the article kind of glosses over that last topic). However, as far as I can tell, there is no "accepted" name for this megalopolis. Darkcore 08:36, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the comment.  I do hear the name used in other contexts, but I agree that it is most closely associated with rail travel, just like the Northeast Corridor in the US is (though that term is used more broadly for geography as well now -- that article should probably be updated).  Perhaps someone will be able to come up with a more generally acceptable name.  Dpm64 15:01, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I always thought the Calgary-Edmonton corridor was wealthier than the Windsor-Quebec City corridor,per capita basis anyways.
: The article doesn't specify "per capita" wealth.  It's speaking strictly about concentration of wealth. Geoff NoNick 14:26, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would imagine that concentration of wealth IS per capita wealth.  Suggesting that a region is the wealthiest merely because it has the most people (and thus the most wealth) proves almost nothing; one could scale that up to declare the entirety of Canada the wealthiest region in Canada, if you understand what I'm trying to say.  One could also declare many countries as a whole far wealthier than this corridor under those criterion as well even though their actual personal wealth levels are far lower.  Perhaps it would be wiser to declare that the majority of Canada's GDP comes from this region (assuming such a fact is true) as the current setup is, in my opinion, misleading.  I presume that the majority of Canada's GDP would likely come from this region, and if someone wants to check that, that would be a far better statistic to use - as it is, it's like saying that Germany is the wealthiest region in Europe, for example, which is just plain wrong.

replies: text:  People usually do it by gross income, not per-capita; otherwise, the G7 would be Qatar, Luxembourg, Norway, Brunei, Singapore, the U.S., and Ireland.  David (talk) 14:01, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wealthiest? 

message: I have long been aware of this corridor, having been born there, but this is my first look at the article, and my awareness of the corridor seems to differ from this article slightly.
First, why not include Trois-Rivieres/Shawinigan/Sherbrooke as part of the corridor?  They're major cities that run along the path of the corridor as presently constituted.
Second, why not include Detroit?  Personally, I've always viewed the corridor as extending from Chicago to Quebec City, as a parallel corridor to the BosWash corridor.  In that sense you could make a case for including Buffalo, Toledo, maybe even Cleveland? (NorthernFalcon (talk) 02:43, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Trois-Rivieres is implicitly included in the corridor, since it's based on being along the shores of Lake Erie, Ontario and the Saint-Lawrence down to Quebec City. 3R is on the St.Lawrence. It also extends up the Ottawa River to Ottawa, and down the Rideau Canal/River to Kingston. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 03:11, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

message: CFB Petawawa is not an airbase by any stretch of the imagination. It has a helipad and a Hercules landing field which is less busy than most general aviation aerodromes in the valley. If we include Petawawa in the "airports" section, then by that logic 50+ aerodromes along the corridor should be included. The purpose of the section is to list the major aviation centres, not the minor ones. UpstreamPaddler (talk) 04:43, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

message: In the next few days, I will attempt to update the population figures by using the 2011 Canadian census. On the Ontario side, there are 47 counties within the corridor with a total 2011 population of 11,631,799 and on the Quebec side there are 9 regions and 3 metropolitan areas that make up 6,790,431. Thus, this corridor had a population of 18,422,230 in 2011.Lightspeed2012 20:16, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

message: It appears that you recently added more than 20 cleanup tags to this article, but I still don't notice any "unsourced predictions" in this article. Can you explain the reason for these tags? Jarble (talk) 18:34, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: What a load of junk. Seriously. Firstly, you need to read WP:CALC. Secondly, we have the word of an anonymous user that they, over a decade and a half ago, made some phone calls and because of that the entire article should be defaced or deleted? C'mon, you expect us to work from that? Nonsense. oknazevad (talk) 21:35, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
