Here is the list of 11th to 30th place in 1901. I have not verified this data, but it looks about right. Thunder Bay did not exist in 1900, and populations weren't listed for Fort William and Port Arthur-->I suspect they had a couple thousand each at the time.

The other major omissions I can think of might be St. Catharines, Welland, Kitchener (Berlin) and Niagara Falls--not data. I didn't search that hard, I will update this if I have time to look for better data.
