I agree and I hope that the new figures from 2016 will rectify these examples. Kanata is a great example that needs to be added to Ottawa. But all in all, when you look at the complete list (down to the 1,000 urban areas), it's the ultimate list to really have an accurate view on our cities and urban landscape.
