Much like the United States, Canada's first European settlements began on its east coast. But where many of the US's first settlements would eventually emerge as major population centers such as Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia, Canada's major population centers would grow much farther inland. This leaves Canada's Atlantic provinces with very few people relative to even a single major Canadian city. And there's a huge geographic reason for this!
