79% of canadians live in urban areas
In 2001, 51% of Canada’s population lived in the extended Golden Horseshoe in southern Ontario; Montréal and its adjacent region; the Lower Mainland of British Columbia and southern Vancouver Island; and the Calgary-Edmonton corridor.

Yes, I didnt bother to see how they defined "Urban" That still leaves one in five of us as slack jawed yokels however you look at it.

"Some 78% of Canada's population lives in urban areas (1996 census). In this respect it ranks 39th in the world, behind such countries as Belgium, Australia, Israel, the UK and Argentina, but far ahead of Pakistan, India, China and most African countries."

No bloody chart! What's the number for the UK, which are the other 33 countries.

Urbanisation seems to lead to most of the antisocial behaviour ive seen, so in an ideal world less is more?

That'd be me on the weekends. 2/7ths SJY. We might say though that 8 out of 10 Canadians lives in an environment as urban as the south-east of England, moving from Slough to Mississauga or Surrey hardly constitutes escaping the madding crowd.

I replaced that post with a better one. Yes I think less is more in terms of anti-social behaviour but, at the same time, anti-social behaviour is what makes life fun; more of it makes NYC or London exciting and the lack of it is what makes Toronto dull. A place with many people and no excitement is the worst of all worlds.
