? It’s just a fact. The urban agglomeration commonly known as Vancouver (any of them) is not on the large, west-coast island known as Vancouver island.
I am. It is a post about truncate Canada geography after all.
However, being myself not versed in north-american geography, I’ve only learned today that there was such a thing as a Vancouver island.
Ah, okay, sorry. It’s the one on the west end of this map. The city of 3 million called Vancouver is just across the channel on the mainland. The same English navy captain charted them both, which is where the name comes from.
The places I’ve heard of on the island are Victoria, Tofino and Nanaimo, but those aren’t very large centers, and if you include them then you have to include all the prairie cities as well. The rest is covered in mountains, temperate rainforest and retired British expats.

I suspect you’re trolling.
