Talk:List of cities in Canada

message: What does it mean that there are no longer any cities in Nova Scotia?
If that is correct, then it needs some kind of explanation...
:That is correct, there are no longer any cities. There are RM's however. - Earl Andrew 23:17, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Haldimand County and Norfolk County have been removed from the article.  Even though they are both single-tier municipalities and have since removed any lower-tier reference to their official corporate name (e.g. The Corporation of Haldimand County is the official corporate name for Haldimand County), they were both incorporated as towns in 2000, and this has not since changed.  As a result, they have been removed from the Cities of Canada article.
:Statistics Canada says they are cities. -- Earl Andrew - talk 00:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Really?  That information has to be out of date, as the municipalities have the full name of 'Haldimand County' and 'Norfolk County.'  StatsCan's data doesn't include the proper name.  We'll have to wait and see what the 2006 census says. Snickerdo 03:12, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Out of date? Were Norfolk and Haldimand cities in 2001? -- Earl Andrew - talk 03:17, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I think the Quebec section has too many cities. I'd remove some of the less important ones myself, but I don't know Quebec too well... -- Selmo 20:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quebec section too large. 

message: Once all the provinces have an intro paragraph stating their requirements for city status, could this article become a featured list candidate? Could more experienced editors post what's left to be done for this list? Thank you. Bobo is soft 23:20, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: First, all the sections intro's should be referenced (WP:CITE). Then, some additional data should be added (a plain list rarely makes FL). Largest problem will be Quebec "villes" (due to the political-administrative artifice, the list is huge now). The "Significant Cities" sections reads like trivia, that should probably be overhauled. It would be nice to have cities that form Census Metropolitan Areas stand out somehow. --Qyd 22:33, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Cities

message: You may find it usefull (perhaps not anymore now that the category was deleted) to peruse the cities that link to the different timezones. (ex. User:CyclePat/UTC Timezone show what I tried to do) I tried to make prove it's usefullness but CfD prevailed. Not enough support for such a category. So, just to let you know that many cities utilize the . Many cities have a link to the related UTC timezone. You can find a list of cities by clicking the corresponding UTC timezone (ex.: UTC-5 for Ontario), and then clicking the What links here. And if ever you feel like bringing back the category we will need at least 5 people to support this. GO to my project WP:CCT and start a section to voice your opinion. When we have enough people we'll start the cat. --CyclePat 22:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cities by UTC timezone? 

message: Some Ontario Counties have been added to the list. Although these few select counties may run like a city government, they are in no way a city, nor do they claim to be. I think they need to be removed from the list. UrbanNerd (talk) 03:06, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Per the reference provided, these municipalities are recognized as cities by Statistics Canada, which is fed this information by the Province of Ontario. Preliminary research shows that atleast four of them are recognized as cities by Municipal Affairs and Housing, while atleast three of these four claim to be cities as well. Further research may reveal more. I'll undertake and report back. I certainly don't like or agree with it, despite even living within one at one point, but so long as a reliable source verifies they are cities, they should remain. Hwy43 (talk) 03:32, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: They may be governed like cities and classified as city-like by reliable government sources, but cities they are not. "City" is not in their name. Much like the Town of Markham, (Until it recently becoming the City of Markham) it preferred the "Town" badge, eventhough it's population qualified it to be a city for quite a while, it was listed under the List of Towns article. UrbanNerd (talk) 03:52, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have trouble following your logic. A city is a city, regardless of whether or not they used to be counties. To say otherwise would be original research. -- Earl Andrew - talk 03:56, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, a city is a city. But Prince Edward County, Norfolk County, and the County of Brant do not claim to be cities. Single-tier does not automatically make you a "city". City-like, yes, actual city, no. UrbanNerd (talk) 22:20, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

text: I agree, a city (as recognized by Municipal Affairs) by any other name is a city. 117Avenue (talk) 06:10, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
