OK so I called BS for a number of reasons. Firstly, that you've said there were "probably less than 100" for an unspecified area. What, like 100 in the area now known as Brampton, or Peel, or Southern Ontario? You gotta be more specific.

I don't need a source for the bit about taking over their territory, because that should be common knowledge. It'd be like asking for a source for a claim that the water in the Etobicoke creek flows towards Lake Ontario. It just does. Brampton wasn't a desert before the developers moved in.

The species that benefit from humans are those low enough on the food chain that we give them a pass. Raccoons, opossums, field mice, etc. Asking for a source there would be good. I'd recommend Toronto the Wild as a start.

Also, it's pretty laughable that you claim eagles as traditional predators that would normally hunt Coyote. A big Golden Eagle weighs 5.1kg, adult coyotes are substantially bigger, and typically keep their young in dens, out of the way of airborn attackers. Sure a few pups here and they may have been carried off, but not in such numbers as to even remotely alter the population more than the impact of human settlement.
