I am open to differing views but with all due respect, you're out to lunch on a few of these.
For starters, there is no way Vancouver tops Montreal in economic matters at the moment. If anything, it might arguably that's third and ahead of Vancouver.
In terms of politics, Montreal is roughly tied with Toronto in second place IMO. Calgary is also a fairly important city politically in Canada now.
And Ottawa needs to be there in terms of historical importance as it's been the capital of Canada for over 150 years (some time before Confederation).
