As a newly-minted Canadian I've noticed that as well. I moved to Toronto from Istanbul five years ago and while I was away, Istanbul added 75 kilometers to its metro. That's longer than the entire Toronto Subway.

I wouldn't go to Webster's for definitive information about hydrography. The definitive source is "Limits of Oceans and Seas" by the International Hydrology Organization.
