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?
