Hello and welcome to OSM!
I noticed you added some information to OSM, which ist good. Please keep in mind that, in order to make data useful to other people, you have to tag objects according the OSM wiki (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page). Otherwise your entries can not be read by software using the OSM database.
Population rank (in all of Canada)=1 is no valid OSM tagging.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
All the best,

I do not know how to tag population ranks, however. Any suggestions?

Hi there! Thanks for your quick reply. For population related things this tagging https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:population is approved. It is not practical to put any kind ranking into the OSM database. We basically only map facts, and out of this aggregated data everyone can make his/her own ranking by using the database. In addition to that approach it would be impossible to keep track of rankings as the underlying data is changing all the time.
I hope this is of help :-)
