Better not snitch on the provincial government of Ontario either, which uses the "illegal" Greater Toronto Area rather than the Toronto CMA for planning purposes!
And they even threw an "H" in there (though in practice it's oft forgotten, yet it migrated from being on the end of the abbreviation to being the third letter)
City economists estimated the population of the Winnipeg CMA — the city plus Rosser, West St. Paul, East St. Paul, St. Clements, Brokenhead First Nation, Springfield, Tache, Niverville, Ritchot, Macdonald, Headingley and St. Francois-Xavier — at about 936,500 on July 1, 2024.
^I would think there is room for both in a city close to a million.
I still think of QC as a city of half a million (but I’m old) - even though I know it’s been larger than that for quite some time.
Would be fun to rekindle the Montreal vs QC rivalry from the old Habs vs Nords days.
The Universite Laval football club sucks up all the oxygen in the room.
And blocked previous attempts to locate a team there. Hopefully one day, Quebec City will be able to support Laval and CFL. The province of Quebec is a good football market and too big for just the Alouettes. I'd love to see the CFL expand, but not at the expense of the Rouge et Or. Unlike most university football in Canada, they're culturally important.
