A few notes:
I chose population centre data for the population figures. This means that only people living in the built up urban areas are considered. There are some issues with this, such as the fact that neighbourhoods can be split off of cities and turned into their own cities by the data, while in real life they have no administrative value (ex: Cold Lake South is a part of Cold Lake, AB). Sometimes towns are agglomerated together into behemoths which also confuses things (ex: Trail-Fruitvale).
I changed the population limit from 10,000 to 5,000 to give more communities room to breath. This increases obscurity, but also increases the fun (in my opinion).
This is the one Canadian cities quiz where Ontario doesn't dominate the rest of us! :D
In Alberta we are dealing with smoke (since BC is burning down), daily temperatures above 30 degrees, drought and a major grasshopper infestation. It's not so bad as BC but it isn't pretty.
How I wish for rain! Hope you guys are doing alright down there too!
I bet a few communities could qualify especially around the Hudsons Bay area. I can't let many communities qualify in Nunavut though without changing the map.
