Pretty close in population. The Winnipeg Metropolitan Region is just about right on 900,000. I'm using 1% growth annually from 2021 but growth may be higher than that. The forecast is for the population to exceed 1 million in time for the 2031 census.
Metropolitan Quebec City had 839,000 in 2021, but the Nationale Capitale Region had fewer (757,000) population despite covering almost 19,000 sq. km. (7,250 sq. mi.), more than 1/3rd the size of Nova Scotia. I don't understand how the figure could be lower. Assuming 1% growth from the higher figure, the current pop. would be around 865,000.
Winnipeg feels bigger to me, though Quebec City is the prettier of the two. For any American readers, similar sized metro areas include Omaha and Albany, and Winnipeg does remind me of Omaha, even more so Kansas City.
