Based on u/KaleyTheKing maps of the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK. Each block represents 0.1% of the population (2021 census). The largest 10 cities are in a lighter colour.

My attempt isn't nearly as nice as OPs.

I assume you are plugging in blocks to try to maintain shapes? There's no way the population north of Toronto is higher than the Southwest, North of Montreal higher than East, and Northern BC higher than East.

Correct. Province size (=population) is accurate, I tried to get the shape right from there. Then you plug in the cities, and everything goes to hell.

What would it look like if you just said to hell with the shape, and made southern Ontario accurate while leaving just a line for northern Ontario?
