600k is not a small town in comparison to a 7 million pop capital. I get that your argument is essentially the words are meaningless because theres no strict population density, but by that logic I could call Toronto a small town because its on the same continent as New York.
Actual small towns in Ontario have populations of no more than 5000. 50000 is a small city. Relative to its surroundings, Kitchener-Waterloo is a medium-large-sized city. Very few Canadian cities reach the million mark (it used to be only Toronto, but I’m pretty sure Vancouver is there now too, and maybe one or two others).
Vancouver only has 662,248 however the Greater Vancouver Area has 2.6 million people (that area would include Surrey, Richmond, Burnady, etc). Just like how the Greater Toronto Area has Oshawa, Mississauga, Brampton included.
I wouldn’t call it small, but I know people who live in Tokyo who certainly would. Having > 30,000,000 people in the area during business hours was always insane.
