That's a larger population, but in an area that is over twice the size of the Capital Region. If you were to expand the Capital Region to the same area as Halifax Municipality, you would be taking in Nanaimo, which is 115 000 people, and the areas in between - about 600 000 people.
For urban area, Victoria - 397 237/215.88 sq km's. Halifax - 348 634/238.29 sq km's.
An good case could be made for Victoria actually being the bigger city. (Sorry. I get caught up on numbers too much probly).

The Halifax regional municipality isn't terribly relevant to population size as it is a city proper based on the county and not on the city. It covers a huge amount of rural and wilderness area but because of the shape doesn't actually capture all of the CMA. Although I'm not sure of the differences in the urban areas as I've never directly compared them.
