The blue is 20% or greater. Therefore, Milton with over a 110% increase should have a subway, subway, subway?

Here is a population density map using 2016 census data from the same creaters of the other map:

Really shows the Don Mills corridor.

The estimates for July are usually estimate on February of the following year, so in theory the July 2016 estimates should be released soon, but I think they actually take a long time to adjust for the new data from the 2016 census. The oil situation should be most noticeable for 2015-2016 so we might not see the effect for a while.
The slowdown has been noticeable for Alberta though. Looking at Calgary's municipal census, which is taken every April, there's been a definite slow down in growth
2015-2016: +4,256
2014-2015: +35,721
2013-2014: +38,508
2012-2013: +36,461
2011-2012: +29,289
2010-2011: +19,421
2009-2010: +6,060

I think it is too easy to dismiss Calgary and Edmonton.
Both cities are large-ish, attractive and dynamic cities to support growth in business investment in their own right, and remain top places for immigration having topped livability indexes. Slowdown in growth is to be expected obviously, but both cities are far from being in decline.
It's worth mentioning that growth in Toronto and Vancouver are population-led rather than employment-led too.
City of Toronto Media Relations has issued the following:

We should be pretty close to 3 million by now...

According to http://canadapopulation2018.com/population-of-toronto-2018.html, Toronto's population would hit the three million mark within the final quarter of this year.

Where is that website getting its numbers from? The Kitchener numbers seem out of whack. 13,000 growth per year? According to the census that's the kind of growth it's experiencing over the course of FIVE years, not every single year...

Chances are that the population of Toronto has exceeded 3 Million at some point within the last 12 months. As of July 2018, our population was 2,956,024, just 44,000 of the 3 Million mark. Our growth has been about 75,000 to 100,000 new residents annually in recent years. So unless our population growth has crashed, we should almost certainly be over 3 Million right now.
In my head Toronto was still sitting pretty at 2.7 Million, so I was surprised to stumble across this
Crazy to see this kind of growth. Feels like not long ago it was barely at 2.5 Million

Is there any estimate of that population of the GTA is now?

We’ve solidly left Chicago (proper) in the dust.
LA is gonna be a while though. Unlike Chicago, they’re actually growing. Their present population is 3.9 million, which we’re expected to meet in 2041. It’s gonna take around 30 to 50 years to match them in the best case scenario

If actual current growth numbers for Toronto hold, the City will hit 3.9M in 11.5 years or roughly 2030. (Toronto added 77,000 last year).
Los Angeles appears to be growing at about 25k per year.
If that held, the 2 lines would converge in about 2034.

Huh, interesting. Never thought it would be so soon.
LA’s population growth has been pretty shaky recently (dropping by two-thirds), while Toronto’s has remained robust, so they might converge even sooner than that. I feel like housing prices might throw a wrench into Toronto’s population growth though
