How do I reconcile "Toronto was the fastest-growing metropolitan area in Canada and the U.S. for the second consecutive year and saw an estimated population increase of nearly 269,000 people from July 2023 to July 2024, according to data from Statistics Canada and the U.S. Census Bureau."

with

"Domestically, though, more people are still moving away from the Toronto area than to it".

If more people leave than arrive, shouldn't Toronto be shrinking?

"The growth is driven by Canada’s high levels of international immigration in recent years, Clayton said. Toronto’s net loss in migration within Ontario and between provinces may pose issues down the road, Siemiatycki said."

Yeah, I was going to say that "domestically" is the key thing there. Canadians are moving out of Toronto, international immigrants are moving in.

(No judgement intended, before someone thinks I'm criticising.)

Just check quickly that America hasn't invaded Canada already? You don't want to not notice when that happens.
