Talk:Demographics of Toronto

message: The article contradicted itself. It stated that French was the 2nd most spoken language in Toronto. This is not the case, later in the article it was stated that French is only spoken by 1.4% of the population. This puts it well beneath languages such as Italian and Chinese. I took the liberty to correct the statement seeing as it was based on a reference of languages most used at work. French may well be the 2nd most used language at work, but that is likely because of Canadian government services work which must be conducted bilingually, not because French is widely spoken in Toronto.

thread_title: French in Toronto

message: "The chief ethnicities of the white population of Toronto are 6.5% Canadian (a mixture of English, Scottish, Irish, and French)"
What does this mean? I am not British or French but I am Canadian too.  In addition, I thought Native peoples were here first, but even then I am Canadian as well.  British or French does not mean Canadian!

message: Under the table of ethnic comparisons, it says that Jewish people make up 2.5%, but in the Religion section, it says that Jews make up 4.8% of the population. What's the reason for this discrepancy? Which one is correct? Dorykornfeld 01:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I read in other articles that GTA has around 200,000 Tamils mostly of Srilankan origin but the statistics are confusing.  What is their actual numbers?
:These stats are only for Toronto (2.5 million people), not for the GTA (5.5 million people). Try searching for the GTA article and one of the links will send you to a Statistics Canada website. Blackjays1 10:06, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tamils? 

message: I'll be adding data on ethnic groups and restructuring the list (in paragraph form) to reflect the ranking by percent of the total composition. Data will be from: http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/data/highlights/ethnic/pages/Page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo=CMA&Code=535__&Data=Count&Table=2&StartRec=1&Sort=3&Display=All&CSDFilter=5000  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gkmx (talk • contribs) 17:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ethnic Groups 

message: When I search for B-EY, Davenport or Eg-Law in the NHS it's "Not Found" (apparently suppressed?) yet someone was able to get that data up here.   I could only read B-EY because it was linked.  Can I get links for these other ridings as well? Docere1 (talk) 02:29, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Some of the links in the table link to the nation rather than to the nationality of the people. I have changed some of them to link to the nationality instead of the nation. Can you go through them as well?  Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 02:32, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Top 20 Ethnic Origins in the Toronto CMA table near the bottom of the Cultural Diversity section 

message: According to the 2016 Census, the racial composition of Toronto was: White: 50.2% East Asian: 12.7% (10.8% Chinese, 1.4% Korean, 0.5% Japanese) South Asian: 12.3% Black: 8.5% Southeast Asian: 7.0% (5.1% Filipino) Latin American: 2.8% West Asian: 2.0% Arab: 1.1% Aborginal: 0.7% (0.5% First Nations, 0.2% Metis) Two or more races: 1.5% Other race: 1.3%.

thread_title:  It says that in 2016, minority races made up a higher percentage than white people? 

message: I think the "black" category in this section must be replaced by African, also being possible to divide into african/caribbean or something like that, since black is not an ethnicity, but a color. (eg: we don't refer to latin ethnicity as "brown" or chinese as "yellow").  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:11A3:8300:1C9E:3F98:214D:656 (talk) 15:14, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: The 2021 census is released, but still uses Black to refer to those of African or Caribbean descent. We do not stray away from the terms used by the census. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 01:47, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ethnic Diversity Section - Change suggestion 

message: It would be great if the article were to be updated using the 2021 Canadian census. I have also added the  tag with the appropriate parameters to let readers know that the article isn't fully updated yet. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 02:34, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  2021 Canadian Census 

message: Why does the table showing the visible minority groups have pan-ethnic groups composed of several visible minority groups? Statistics Canada publishes data specific visible minority groups, so on what basis have we decided to display results for pan-ethnic groups selected for this article, and on what basis have these pan-ethnic groups been selected? Noirci (talk) 05:17, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Full visible minority breakdown (using all groups as per Statistics Canada definition) is also included... see the pie chart here. The pan-ethnic trends table is another reflection of the census data verbatim, with some of the groups organized together on a geographic basis. Van00220 (talk) 01:36, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
