Metro population and GDP figures pretty much sum it up. For a city with a lower population and GDP to rank higher than another then it will have to prove it is more significant or important, and I don't think Calgary today can justify being ranked above Vancouver on these grounds.
Toronto
Pop. 6.0m
GDP 320B
Montreal
Pop. 3.8m
GDP 150B
Vancouver
Pop. 2.3m
GDP 90B
Calgary
Pop. 1.2m
GDP 52B

Once again for the illiterate masses. I didn't bring up the topic of GDP.
Metropolitan areas are what really matter when ranking cities by size.
