User:Robkelk/sandbox/Famous Canadians by city

Starting with the Wikipedia lists linked at the start of each city's list, with the scientists, sports stars, military men, and politicians removed.

Now what?
 * Leave the redlinks and count on Wiki Magic to fill in the gaps? C'mon, these are Canadians; almost nobody outside Canada has heard of most of them, and almost nobody in Canada cares.
 * Delete the redlinks? A lot of these people should have pages here, though.

If we need to make pages for cities, see w:Category:Canada in fiction by city for starting lists of works set in Canadian cities.

People from Halifax
Do we want a page for Halifax?

Works set there include Theodore Tugboat, a bunch of works set against the backdrop of the Halifax Explosion, and ... according to DuckDuckGo, nothing else. Wikipedia doesn't have a list. Trailer Park Boys is set in Dartmouth, just across the Narrows. The Surgeon's Mate, the seventh of the Aubrey-Maturin books, starts in Halifax.

On the other hand, "Halagonian" is a fun word to say...
