Why do the region and individual municipalities use a LICO inconsistent with Statistics Canada data for the Kichener-Cambridge-Waterloo CMA? As of 2017, the City of Waterloo claimed the before-tax LICO for the region was $21,822, which is mostly consistent with the after-tax cut-off of $18,436 the region will be using for reduced income GRT fares. But that's the LICO for an area with a population under 500,000, and our CMA has been over that since at least the 2016 census. The cut-off should be at least $21,000 after tax now.
