I'm trying to write a list of towns in Canada that share a name with a town in the UK. Can anyone help?

Question

In response to a couple of your replies, I'm British, but live in Canada and I'm looking for twon names rather than counties or regional areas. Thanks for your replies!

Answer 1

You would be better to give us a list of the towns in the UK and we could tell you what towns do not share a name with a Canadian town.The list would be shorter i believe.

from the world map i have the city listed in the UK that i do not know if there is one in Canada is Nottingham.But that does not mean there`s not one.You are not grasping the size of Canada.I spend my vacations trying to see all of Canada and if i live long enough i mite see half,at least that's my goal.
