Also, I'm getting 38,587 housing starts (all types) for Toronto CMA in 2020, per the link above?

Good Catch!
I see what happened, when you first click 'annual' and it says '2020' below, you get the lower number I quoted.
But you can see, if you look, that its actually for 2021 (presumably YTD).
When I found that I was able to shift to 2020, and I got your numbers!
