Talk:List of Canadian islands by population

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Saltspring and not Princess Royal, Graham or Moresby?

Haven't been by this page before; I see Lulu Island's already been credited but of the Gulf Islands only Saltspring; if it's there so should be Quadra and Texada at least (they're larger) and not a few others like Gabriola and Bowen. There's also much larger islands up-coast, notably Princess Royal (near Hartley Bay, where the ferry sinking happened, and of course Gil Island which the ferry hit in the dark - no inhabitants on Gil, though there are on Princess Royal). Prince Rupert is on, or incorporates, an island (I'll have to look up its name and add it) and of course the major islands of the Queen Charlottes are inhabited. There's also Malcolm Island (Sointula) and Malcolm Island, where Alert Bay is and the villages and other habitations of the Broughton Archipelago, Desolation Sound and Discovery Passage. OK, OK, I'm the BCer and will try and research this but just asking/assuming that only islands with population are to be counted/listed?Skookum1 22:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

It's a list by population, so only the most populous should be added. That's why relatively physically tiny ones are there, and huge ones like Ellesmere aren't. AshleyMorton 14:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
