Factor out kids and teens that are 17 and younger and you have everyone in Toronto plus another few people on Facebook. Either Facebook is loaded with fake accounts in Toronto or they have one major hiccup there. The entire surrounding area by the way. Also the Greater Toronto figures still wouldn't make sense for Facebook's figures. http://www.toronto.ca/toronto_facts/diversity.htm This reminds me of the supposedly great Facebook advertising platform. I don't mean in the past that little glitch that people got away with, I'm talking about advertising on Facebook with all of their great numbers seems to yield the worst ROI of any major site. I lost 40K just testing a few campaigns with them, one before Microsoft's involvement and one after. It will be a long time before I pay Facebook any attention.
