After a two-year hiatus and an arduous effort on this one due to the number of municipalities (1,231!) and the French-language barrier within sources, here is the 13th and final nomination in the set of Canada's 13 "lists of municipalities in province/territory". The end-goal is in sight. Upon bringing all 13 lists of municipalities for every province and territory of Canada to featured status, a featured topic nomination will be pursued. The standardized format from the 12 other featured lists (British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Alberta, Yukon, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island) has been carried forward. Suggestions received from the previous 11 nominations have been taken into account for this nomination. All suggestions welcome and thanks for your input.

Row scopes should be like !scope=row, not |scope=row, which makes it a "header" cell for the row in the wikicode. Note that this means you'll need a line break after the first cell so that any "header" formatting doesn't carry over to the next cell(s).
Done
Col scopes are for the top of the table, which you have, but then you also have them for the summary at the bottom of the table, which isn't right. Screen reader software uses the col scopes to read out what column/row a cell is, so having extras makes it messed up. It's hard to explain in words what the change should be, but
When a header column spans multiple columns, like in !scope="col" colspan=5| [[Canada 2021 Census|2021 Census of Population]] at the top, it should be !scope=colgroup instead of col. Same for rowgroup and rowspans, but you don't have any.
Done
Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. --PresN13:27, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I finally got around to reading this list, and it is easily one of the strongest I've ever reviewed, and I've reviewed quite a few over the years. The maps are just superb, the format follows previous lists which allows little room for improvement. Everything is up to date and well cited. The only change I could see would be a brief sentence describing why the Cree villages and Naskapi municipalities nearly all have 0 population. What is the purpose then of the municipality? That is honestly all the suggestions I can find. Could this be why so few are reviewing? There is very little to even knit-pick.
Thank you, Mattximus. The mostly unpopulated Cree and Naskapi villages baffles me. I haven’t found why such is the case, the purpose of them despite being unpopulated, etc. Answers to such may exist on the web but likely in French so more difficult for an English editor to find. Thanks for the review. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 04:00, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As above, very strong list which I support for promotion.
Just one question: instead of a long See Also section, couldn't some of the links be included in the body? {{Main}}ing some of the sections such as "Parish municipalities" or "United township municipalities" could be helpful. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:32, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This nomination has stalled out for a long time without a lot of review, but after looking it over (and passing the source review) I'm going to go ahead and promote. --PresN21:55, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
