"and then a rural band," Someone hasn't been to Ottawa in a long time.
Well, in 2001, it was still the case that there was a continuous "barrier" of non-densely-populated land between Ottawa and Kanata. I would not be surprised to discover that they have been merged into one "Urban Area" once the 2006 results are out. AshleyMorton 16:43, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Is it just me or should Quebec City be ranked 9 with Winnipeg and Hamilton each moving up one?
The populations are listed as:

8 Winnipeg, Manitoba 626,685

Why is Whitehorse not on the list? On its page, it lists the population as high enough to be in the top 100.
Note that Kitchener, #10, is in fact the Region of Waterloo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.70.138.128 ( talk) 15:36, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
According to List of the 100 largest metropolitan areas in Canada, Tornto+Mississauga has 5,1 million residents, so Toronto here obviously doesn't include Mississauga. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.96.231 ( talk) 07:12, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Newmarket, Ontario had a population of atleast 70 odd thousand in 2006, now up to 80,000, so I don't know why they're not listed on the page. On Newmarket's page their 2006 census population is listed as 74,295, I think they need to be included on the list.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.130.79 ( talk) 23:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Where would one find the physical size (square kilometres) of each of these urban areas? -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 06:28, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Interesting that White Rock (entry #40), a city of under 20k, is listed as a 70k city. Even more curious is that it is listed separately from the Vancouver population, which I surmise to be the entire GVTA or Metro Vancouver area, and White Rock is a constituent member of both demographic areas. - Kain ( talk) 11:00, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Further to the "update" tag recently added to this article, Statistics Canada has abandoned the term "urban area" in favour of "population centre" with three sub-types. For a quick summary, see Census geographic units of Canada#Population centres and the specific StatCan reference for more detail.
This therefore begs the question, should this article be moved to List of the 100 largest population centres in Canada by population? Please provide concerns/comments before I be bold and move it. Hwy43 ( talk) 06:05, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
First time in Wikipedia, not at all sure this is the right place/ way to post a question/ comment. However, I'll give it a go and please let me know where this question should be properly posted.
Question: the photo of Ottawa, labelled Canada's Capital, looks not a smidge familiar. Could it possibly be Ottawa, Illinois or Kansas? Or if it is actually Ottawa, Ontario, perhaps a more familiar skyline would be helpful, with the Parliament buildings, Canal, National Gallery, Museum of Civilsation or other such recognizable landmarks?

I'm not actually sure how to change this part while providing a source.
The table says that 87,572 is the population as of 2016. However, Statistics Canada lists the following population from their 2016 census: 92,729 Skyturnrouge ( talk) 03:41, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Actually, it looks like a few others a wrong. Maybe a full update needs to be done. Again, I'm unsure as to how to do this (or how to aid this). Perhaps someone can either do it or give me guidance on how to do this? Here are my two problems: - how do you provide sources in a table when each row of the table needs different sources - this page is edit-locked Skyturnrouge ( talk) 03:43, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Why is only the 100 largest included? None of the other articles except for its sister take the largest 100 of something. If it were discussed in secondary literature it would be notable so am i missing something? Catchpoke ( talk) 17:55, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

List of the 100 largest population centres in Canada → List of population centres in Canada – I'm not sure that including "the 100 largest" is necessary for Canada. Though metropolitan areas are defined differently by the federal government, the name should match other countries' "cities" lists. Catchpoke ( talk) 16:50, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Is the Vancouver population list counting Victoria as part of Vancouver? Because it being third on the list without counting Victoria as part of it would be clearly incorrect as it has practically half of Calgary's population. I feel emphasis on it including Victoria should be important. 2001:56A:78D1:9D00:2402:4C35:69D9:8E68 ( talk) 19:36, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

The city of Terrebonne(QC) is not in this list. I am quoting Wikipedia here: "According to the 2011 Canadian Census Terrebonne has a population of 111,575, making it Montreal's fourth largest suburb." 184.162.6.146 ( talk) 00:04, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Red Deer is missing. It has a population of about 109,489 within an area of 104.3 square kilometers according to https://worldpopulationreview.com/world-cities/red-deer-population.
It is also above Lethbridge as the THIRD largest population centre and city in Alberta.
It should be right above White Rock, British Columbia, at 30th place. I am a resident of Red Deer and our city has been well known to be over the 100,000 population mark for the past several years. Given the data above, Red Deer's population density is about 1049.75 kilometers squared for its 2023 estimate.
As stated in this ARTICLE MADE BY WIKIPEDIA: /info/en/?search=List_of_population_centres_in_Alberta, Red Deer is considered a population centre. That is my argument.

I just suggested an edit but realized that this page is using a unique definition to define population centres, and identifies a number of Ottawa neighborhoods as distinct population centres. This may need to be updated as many of the listed centres have merged with larger neighborhoods in the last few decades to become continuous areas. For example, Manotick, Osgoode, Barrhaven and Riverside South are now a continuous centre. It also seems that some of the deciding factors in what constitutes a population centre may not be applied consistently 74.12.10.79 ( talk) 03:17, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
On the Wikipedia page for Ottawa-Gatineau it lists the population correctly at 1.48 million. The population listed here is only for the city of Ottawa. Ranking should be 4th. 2607:FEA8:BB5F:A116:9469:1033:C51A:3D94 ( talk) 21:31, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
