Yes, but at one point Midnapore was a town independant from Calgary. So when Calgary's city limits expanded, we just added Midnapore into the city of Calgary. If Midnapore had not been annexed, when places like McKenzie Towne were built they would have been built as independant towns because they would have been outside of the city of Calgary. So don't get all high and mighty on me when you don't understand the situation.
In cases like Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg- yes the term Metro is used to pump up stats. But for the sake of Vancouver, Metro is how the city is laid out.
Which is why some of us have conceeded that "technically" you are correct in saying that Vancouver is technically smaller than Calgary. But if that's the case, you may as well start making a case for Calgary to be one of the biggest cities in North America, because once again "technically" we are bigger than Seattle and San Francisco, just to name 2 off the top of my head.
