What are the ten largest Canadian cities by population?

Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton, Mississauga, Winnepeg, Vancouver, Hamilton, Quebec City. If you consider Mississauga a part of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) like me, then Surrey, BC is number 10 (but still behind Brampton, also a part of the GTA). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_100_largest_municipalities_in_Canada_by_population Feb 25 09, 3:27 PM

What exactly is meant by "municipality" on that list, Kyle? I've never seen a list by population with Vancouver that far down! Here's another link verifying the list salami gives. And, note that "Ottawa" also includes Gatineau (i.e. the entire National Capital Region) and probably the Ottawa Valley. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_100_largest_metropolitan_areas_in_Canada Feb 25 09, 3:37 PM

Municipalities include towns and cities which have rather large contributions to the overall 'city'. For example, Mississauga is part of Toronto (and the GTA) and have a spot on the list. I've always classed these types of places as cities, but both answers should be viable. Feb 25 09, 3:40 PM
