Project these numbers forward (since this has been the trend for some time now) and the Wards that will be home to LRT in 2021 (when it gets built, best case scenario in 10 years) will have the lowest populations, only Fruitland (tiny ward 10) and the two rural Flamboro wards of 14 and 15 will have fewer populations than Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

If anyone wants I will try to post my projections in columns. But if you're wondering I simply took the population gain/loss from 2001 to 2006 and multiplied it by 3 for the next 3 StatsCan censuses in 2011, 2016, 2021. Which 2021 is also what kind of timeframe we're looking at for an LRT. I hate to even think about how old I will be in 2021, but perhaps the next generation will benefit. Hamilton took 50 years to build the Redhill and that's in a city that loves roads, so I wonder if 50 years is not the actual timeframe for LRT. Since we've been kicking this can around since the 70s, 2020 will be about right -- 50 years.
