If we're going to allow places like Apto (population: 10 - what was the Hee-Haw response? c'mon, don't pretend you don't know), I think Canada may face some stiff competition from Australia. And Wales. Heck, even the good ol' US of A. Not to mention England ...

When you think about it, Scunthorpe is pretty daft... even more so now when a lot of firewalls won't let you look for it.

Canadian nominations:

Banff - (in Alberta)

Guelph - (in Ontario)

Apto - (also in Ontario) Apto's not really a city, though...I think it has a population of less than 10 people, but it does have a couple of road signs.
