Just based on the cultural impact and references to both, I expected Vancouver, home of the canadian movie industry AND where a shitload of yank stuff gets shot to be a far more populous city than Winnipeg, whose landmark cultural touchstones are a joke about going back there in the simpsons, and “Winnipeg is a frozen shithole” by venetian snares.

EDIT : Oh, metropolitan vancouver still has more people than metropolitan winnipeg. Ignore this post I guess?

    This.

    What a lot of people think of as “Vancouver” is actually a mass span of multiple cities all mushed up against each other. The actual city of Vancouver is only a small piece of the Lower Mainland.

      Commonly referred to as Metro Vancouver these days. Used to be the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
