Just based on the cultural impact and references to both, I expected Vancouver, home of the canadian movie industry AND where a shitload of yank stuff gets shot to be a far more populous city than Winnipeg, whose landmark cultural touchstones are a joke about going back there in the simpsons, and “Winnipeg is a frozen shithole” by venetian snares.
EDIT : Oh, metropolitan vancouver still has more people than metropolitan winnipeg. Ignore this post I guess?

This will probably blow some people’s minds: approximately 9,000 people live in The City of London. The average daily population however is 500,000. And of course, 9.8 million people live in Greater London.
Surrey alone almost has as many people as Vancouver, but the Lower Mainland definitely has more people than Winnipeg.
This.
What a lot of people think of as “Vancouver” is actually a mass span of multiple cities all mushed up against each other. The actual city of Vancouver is only a small piece of the Lower Mainland.
Commonly referred to as Metro Vancouver these days. Used to be the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
