FWIW, we're not at 500'000 people. The Region of Waterloo officially records our population as 630'000, which is visible on most Welcome To... signs around our periphery. I wouldn't doubt if it's even higher than that now since those were updated in 2019 if I recall.
The region is 630k, but our urban population is closer to 500k, given that the other cites I listed weren't metro area populations, I think that makes it a more accurate comparison.
But it doesn't change the point anyway.
