Talk:Flag of Ottawa

Ottawa is a megacity?
A megacity is, according to the article, is a city with a population in excess of 10 million people. Ottawa is no where close. --Richman271talk/con 23:44, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a megacity according to the locals and the Ontario government. Ardenn  23:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The locals? I live here, and I have never heard anyone refer to Ottawa as a "Megacity". Puehaps it should be said that "According to the Ontario Government, Ottawa is a Megacity" or something like that. --Richman271talk/con 23:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, it says in the article that in Canada, the definition is an amalgamated city of several former municipalities. --216.106.107.187 23:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Dates of use?
The article text says that the old flag was in use since 1901, but the caption says the one pictured was in use from 1987-2000. Is anyone familiar with the reasons behind this discrepancy? (Like, perhaps the crest was only added in 1987?) -- RealGrouchy (talk) 23:05, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
