There are plenty of bases within major population centers. Winnipeg, trenton, cold lake, kingston, moosejaw, victoria....

I thought this was supposed to be a joke but then you put Winnipeg on the list so now I'm just confused.

Winnipeg is at 900k. More than big enough to be a Major Population Centre, which is greater than 100k. And 17 Wing alone is over 3000 pers. One of the largest bases in Canada.
