Just like the city of Los Angeles has 3.8 million people (metro area has 15 million), the city of Chicago has 2.7 million (metro population of 8.7 million), and the city of Seattle has 600,000 people (metro population 3.4 million). That's generally what happens when a bunch of independent cities grow into eachother.

Yes, thank you. I am aware of the difference.
That being said, when I travel to the lower mainland I tell people I'm going to Vancouver regardless of what area I'm actually going. Ditto for LA or Chicago or anywhere in the world.
This is getting far off topic. Can't we just agree that Black Friday shopping gets out of hand?
