I’m a xennial (cringe) and for us Montreal was always “the city” in Canada. But probably a lot of that has to do with being from Boston.

Osaka is Japan’s second city in spirit (and first city in stomach, as they say), but Yokohama actually has about 1.1 million more residents than Osaka does at this point. Yokohama is huge - nearly 4 million people in the same land area as New Orleans or San Jose.
