   @sl007 a lot of towns in Quebec were combined into agglomerated cities in the early 2000s. So that might be what you're seeing.

     @evan
     I have got a question re. Canada.
     Mapped geonames, OSM and wikidata for an ActivityVocabulary Collection (Atlas).
     Amongst the 1.4 mio. places there is a small confusion about Administrative Level 2 in Alberta and Ontario.
     Either geonames or wikidata is wrong.
     Can Cities have an Admin 2 Level?

     Example (1/40)
     geonames says both are ADM2
     county
     https://www.geonames.org/5896654/beaver-county.html
     city
     https://www.geonames.org/11807206/viking.html

     while wikidata says
     Viking is in Beaver …

     What is correct?
