Quebec: Quebec City (strong #2, relevant centre)
New Brunswick: Saint John? (as a total outsider, Moncton, Saint John, and Fredericton are all close enough that it feels like it could be a 1a, 1b, and 1c type of thing)
PEI: Summerside
Nova Scotia: Sydney?
Newfoundland and Labrador: Corner Brook (far far behind St. John's)
Yukon: Dawson City (strong #2)
Northwest Territories: Hay River/Inuvik
Nunavut: Rankin Inlet/Arviat?
Metro Vancouver bonus: Surrey (strong #2 after Vancouver)
This would be fun to split into a tier system in a spreadsheet sometime.

If a province (or state, or country) have a 1a and 1b, then there's no second city. Not every place has a second city.
