Calgary is a self-contained metro but Ottawa is truly one gigantic city proper (with the exception of the Quebec side) considering that the city limits stretch way out so much that Scotiabank Place is over 25 km east of the western city limit. A Calgary equivalent would include places like Chestermere and Airdrie in the city proper.
