You guys are so large in number :O. Meanwhile we are less than 100,000 worldwide.

I disagree with you for Toronto. MJ and Abgaal are tied and Habar Gidir is third.

Hmm interesting there is correlation between demographic population and tyrone loving cities.
The demographics are the same in london where Jamaicans are also hot commodity like toronto.

Ottawa: Gadabursi>Isaaq (mostly HA and HY)>Issa = MJ>everyone else
Vancouver also has a large Isaaq population

There are also Somalis who live in Hamilton and Kitchener/Waterloo, but I don't know the demographics of those cities (but they're more community-minded than Torontonians). Alhamdulillah, Trudeau is restoring the mandatory long form censuses, so we shall see the growth of Somalis in 2016.

John Baird estimated we are 300,000 strong but I doubt it. Maybe 1/3 of that

Habar Awal one of the biggest clans in Toronto? This nigga is definitely Isaaq.

You got Windsor incorrect as it's mostly Dhulbahante and Habargidir but the Somali population there has been declining for several consecutive years now.

You got Vancouver incorrect as well as there are other clans other than MJ living there. Even though there is a small Somali population in Vancouver, it's dominated by Reer Xamar. They're definitely the biggest Somali-speaking group in Vancouver.

@HalyeeyQaran aren't you Europe?

 

[HalyeeyQaran]

No, my friend. I'm based in the United States.

 

[SuldaanMethylamine]

I never knew Windsor had a sizeable community lol

Windsor and London is the home of many warlords children. There's a lot of reer London and Windsor Somalis here.

Aidids son was born in southwestern Ontario; he's in Edmonton at the moment.

 

[HalyeeyQaran]

Almost all of the Somalis who lived in Windsor moved to Toronto. The Somali community there gets smaller by the year.

This census was conducted by Abdi Johnson

I think Habar Awal in Toronto is over-estimated. Ottawa/HY is true though, almost every Isaaq you come across happens
to be that clan specially Musa Ismail & Musa Carre they seem deep there..
