Victoria (metro) is well over 100,000 ..... so I would consider it a city (maybe I should have qualified my definition), but I don't think places like Moose Jaw really meet what I'd expect from a city. If you have to drive to Regina for services then your not really a city. A city IMO is a place which has ammenities (cultural, commercial, institutional, educational, recreational... ect ect) only available or found in places with the populations able to support them. Medicine Hat and Lethbridge are good sized towns, but really can't offer much in terms of urban lifestyle.
