Canadian cities that should have been bigger than they actually are?
Inspired from the analogous thread on American cities in the City Discussions forum.
Which Canadian cities do you think should have become bigger than they actually are, currently?
For me, the three that come to mind are:
1) Winnipeg (of course). Expected to be the Chicago of Canada, the gateway to the West, etc. Was the fourth largest metro in Canada until the mid to late 1970s.
2) Saint John, New Brunswick. The first incorporated city in what is now Canada.
3) Quebec City. One of the oldest European settlements in North America. Until the late 18th century Québec was the most populous city in present-day Canada. Still third largest as of 1901.
