I mean, this probably shouldn't be that surprising. LA has had sleeper density going back to the 2000s; I remember it being a big deal on this board when it turned out LA's metro density was higher than New York's. But that's different than a sustained blob of Toronto/Montreal density spread over the size of Paris.
For reference, Brooklyn easily breaks 2m at the same scale. So, Brooklyn density still eludes Canadian cities. But we shouldn't feel bad: Australian cities only come in around 600k.
I guess it's all surprising.

I clicked around a bit at a 7km radius for Toronto & also hit a bit over 1.1 million. It's interesting how Montreal & Toronto have almost the exact same population density within both a 3 km & 7 km radius considering the differences in built form in both the hi-rise cores areas & the more further flung low-rise neighbourhoods. Same can be said for L.A.
