Fun "Facts"

So I pulled this information from various websites and can't attest to the accuracy, etc but I just thought it was interesting to look at some figures to try and give you a "picture" of how many people are around and what this would mean for traffic, etc. Everyone knows there are lots of people and know traffic is bad but did you realize this:

California population approx 37.3M
Canada's population approx 34.5M

Size of California 414,000 sq. km
Size of Canada 9,093,507 sq. km
Size of Manitoba 649,947 sq km

so....

Picture cutting 1/3 of Manitoba off and moving all of Canada's population to the remaining 2/3 and you would have the State of California.

Crazy!

Even crazier... almost half the population (17.8M) live in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

Just crazy...
