Talk:Scarborough, Ontario

I do believe that Jim Carrey is from Barrie, Ontario. --coldacid 14:46, 2004 May 3 (UTC)

 Never me mind. --coldacid 14:47, 2004 May 3 (UTC)

Jim Carrey is from Newmarket.

Well yes he may not have been born in Scarborugh but most of his youth was spent here. I was taught by teachers who had taught him before he dropped out of school in grade 10. His family was going through hard times and i believed they lived in a trailer.

Scarborough in the news

I'm not sure that this new section doesn't break the rule about information becoming dated too quickly. I agree that the Guantánamo detentions are news now, but what will they be a few years from now? Perhaps this information belongs in another article. ———Kelisi 2005/2/10

Demographics

What percentage of Scarborough residents are white, and what percentage are visible minorities? The article tells us what percentage of the minority population is Chinese, black, etc., but when it doesn't tell us how many minorities there actually are, those percentages aren't very helpful.

I'm concerned about the number of significant digits in the demgraphics information, as well as the number, since it doesn't matched the linked census. As well, Wikipedians are notorious for failing to realise that although First Nations aren't white, they're also not visible minorities in Canada, so (Population) - (Visible Minorities) gives a number which is actually greater than the number of white people (The 2001 census has First Nations at 0.4%, but when we claim that Scarborough is 54.52% non-white, the 0.4% is then important.

Where is this 2005 Census?

The last one I found from StatsCan is 2001. — Flag of Scarborough, ON, Canada UTSRelativity (Talk) 03:52, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe because Scarborough has been amalgomated with Toronto, it no longer is a CDA/CMA. Just my guess --BCKILLa 08:51, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actually there isn't going to be a census 2005, the census is taken every 5 years, so 2006 is the next one. --BCKILLa 08:58, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Scarboroughites?

I am not sure of the correct appellation for people from Scarborough. I have only referred to them as Scarberians but that doesn't seem right. Scarbotians? Scarboroughans? Scarbians? What's the right term (or is there one)... Atrian 19:08, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They're universally refered to as Scarberians, so I can't imagine anything else is "correct". WilyD 13:57, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, Scarberians is the only one I have ever heard of until someone made some up on Wikipedia. Flag of Scarborough, ON, Canada UTSRelativity (Talk) 03:17, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To user 199.212.26.244 please stop removing the Scarborough in the News section. If you want to remove it, place a discussion item on this page and let the editting community decide whether it is still relevant. Atrian 23:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nicknames

I changed this paragraph around to limit people adding to it ad nauseum. I don't think it serves anyone's purpose to list whatever nicknames are given regardless of their general use or popularity. Also it gives a bad impression of Scarborough which is on average a quiet bedroom community. If anyone knows of any good nicknames for Scarborough I'd like to hear them.
