I don't understand the definition of "coastal" here. There are a number of Ontario cities located on lakeshores, not pelagic coasts; but then, Toronto isn't included. I would prefer that only towns that face seacoasts be included. - Montréalais 03:28, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I agree - a coast is defined in dictionary.com as "Land next to the sea; the seashore". Any community that is on the St. Lawrence River is technically on a river bank. Any community that is on a lake is on a lakeshore, etc. I wonder what the point is in even having such a category? Cheers,Plasma east 00:26, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- The definitions used for this list are the same for the other lists of similat nature. Communities under 100,000 on the great lakes or on the actual ocean coasts. Earl Andrew 02:09, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- The problem is that the definition on Category talk:Coastal cities is inconsistent with the definition found on the article for Coast, nor in any dictionary or geoscience publication. That being said, I'm all for a "Port towns of Canada" category - as it stands now, coastal is misleading as there's a heck of a difference between a lake vs. an ocean.
