Talk:Aurora, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Might we add something on Belinda's desire for *more power* as her reason for switching from Con. to Lib.?
- Nope. Doesn't belong in the Aurora article. PKT 15:16, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
How are Mike Johnson and Greg De Vries "notable residents". Neither is a current resident. Roadhockey 22:34, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- It seems that it's accepted convention that "notable residents" can include people who used to live in the town (eg, Jim Carrey is listed as such in Newmarket), but I have not seen any proof that DeVries and Johnson ever lived in Aurora - just that they played for the Tigers.

[edit] Per Capita income
Somebody just altered the article so that it says, "The town has the highest Per capita income in the country." Could well be true, but it's uncited. Can anybody confirm one way or the other? PKT 20:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- There has been an anonymous user that has inserted similar phrases into this article over the last few years. I don't think they're based on any actual data. Calgary makes a similar claim (see this). Income information for Aurora can be found at StatCan. Mindmatrix 15:22, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- I found a much better source, but for earnings, nor per capita income. StatCan has highlight tables from the 2001 census for earnings by census subdivision - not only does Aurora not qualify that claim nationally, it isn't even first in York Region!
