Laval, Quebec (Montreal metro) is either the largest or second largest suburb in North America.
Toronto actually has two suburbs that are larger than Laval (400,000). Mississauga has over 700,000 people and Brampton has over 500,000. Also the Vancouver suburb of Surrey has 70,000 more people than Laval.
It's hard to say whether Long Beach is really a suburb of LA or not. There are no clear signs of when a suburb is a suburb or its own metro. No population limits, etc. People still think of Long Beach as the "LA MSA" unless you live there. I guess the only real judge of this would be to base it on population density as suburbs are typically more single family residential.
I think of Long Beach as a suburb. It got it's growth due to being next to LA.
When getting to Long Beach people fly to LAX.
Long Beach does not have it's own TV market.
