For Once, The Star Almost Gets it Right!
http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/674947
Someone at The Toronto Star has been reading John Allen Paulos's book "Innumeracy" – an excellent read.
The Star's article discusses the number of reported events where attendance is said to be "A Million".
Always a million.
Toronto's population is reported as 2.5 million (The Greater Toronto Area as 5.5 million). We get visitors from out of town.
No matter, a million people at a downtown parade means roughly half the population of Toronto is downtown in a few city blocks.
Hard to imagine.
Even harder to believe.
But at least "An incredible number of people attended" can now be believed!
