Rocky Ridge is not a suburb. It is a community within the Calgary city limits.
Mackenzie Town is not a suburb. It is a community within the Calgary city limits.
Forest Lawn is not a suburb. It is a community within the Calgary city limits.
etc etc etc.

Excellent points, too. I did make it clear that these weren't the metro populations, either... just cities with statistically similar populations.
I can definitely try and whip up those cities' metropolitan statistics this afternoon if I have some time; afterall, the issue is about the urban sprawl of these metro areas.
