Is there good data for the early 1800s list of Canadian cities by population?
According to this, even in the 1850s, Montreal wasn't that much of a proportionally large concentration of Canada's population.
Plus, wasn't Canada like, very rural back then? A larger proportion likely didn't live in a big city itself as opposed to small towns, right?
