Let's get what I have onto the wiki in around the end-of-month 503s...
Starting with the lists linked at the start of each city's list, with the scientists, sports stars, 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.
Pulled many redlinks off the lists, left a few on. I think this is a good compromise. And the bluelinks stayed on the lists.
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 Ottawa
(Yeah, we'll need a page for Ottawa to put this on. Under the Umbrella Tree was set in Ottawa. See w:Category:Ottawa in fiction for more works. OSFS might be able to provide a list of F&SF works set in Ottawa - query email sent on Nov 11, 2019. Ottawa Independent Writers might be able to help with more mainstream works set in Ottawa. GoodReads has a list. This list is ready to go.)

At this point, I had to switch tasks, so... no content below this line, just some headers.

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.)
