Myth:

The Population of Calgary is almost THREE times that of Hamilton's (1.3 million compared to 0.5 million)

Fact:

Hamilton is actually projected to have a population of over half the size of Calgary, or 59% of the population of Calgary.

In the last census in 2006 Hamilton had about 51% of the population of 2006 Calgary.

2010 Projection - Hamilton 740,200 : Calgary 1,242,600

Stats Canada Projections

2006 Census - Hamilton 504,559 : Calgary 988,193

Stats Canada - Calgary 2006

Stats Canada - Hamilton 2006

Conclusions:

Your seemingly comparing a projection of Calgary's 2010 population, to the Hamilton 2006 census population. Which of course isn't going to instill overwhelming confidence in the rest of your numbers, but at least you didn't discount a couple hundred thousand people so you could all-cap THREE instead of TWO, right?
