I'm surprised to see Montreal CMA ahead of Vancouver CMA. Calgary CMA and Edmonton CMA are in a slump due to the steep decline of the Alberta oil industry.

Toronto CMA: 300
Montreal CMA: 66
Vancouver CMA: 42
Ottawa CMA: 19
Calgary CMA: 17
Kitchener-Waterloo CMA: 14
Edmonton CMA: 11
Windsor CMA: 7
Kelowna CMA: 6
Winnipeg CMA: 5
Halifax CMA: 5
Hamilton CMA: 4

The Vancouver CMA has at least triple the number of what is shown here. Probably closer to quadruple the amount. The crane amount is down from 200 a couple of years ago, but the 42 number is totally inaccurate.
