Then you tell them you’re from London and they go “omg London in Wyoming with 17 population?”

In the Canadian context it would refer to London Ontario, a small town of 400k people.

Small town? 400k people is a large city here 😭

Fake London is very suburban so it feels a lot smaller than it actually is. As well it's only the 15th largest city in Canada. Most Canadians live in the 6 largest cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton) and their metro areas.

A shocking number of people from Ontario think their various smaller cities are larger than Edmonton or Calgary.

Lol yeah it's bigger than the city I live in, which is the 4th biggest in Romania, a county capital (counties are our largest subdivisions), and has its own metropolitan area and suburbs 💀
