Best sporting events in Canada, biggest cultural events, the target for most Canadian musicians so you end up with both all the major touring acts as well and tons of smaller local shows every night. Professionally it's the place to be in Canada if you're in film, music, tech, finance, bio, and I'm sure a few more. Food scene is great, hockey scene is amazing even if we do have the Leafs. As much of a joke as the saying is, it really is the centre of the universe in Canada and benefits from the perception of such. You have to be super bitter to say Toronto isn't actually that special in Canada, go watch Everyone hates Toronto or something.

I'm just going to go ahead and assume you've never been to any other cities in Canada. You're clueless if you think they do have food scenes, hockey scenes, major touring acts as well as tons of local shows every night, etc. Even Victoria, which is tiny compared to Toronto, has all of that. And amazing cultural festivals too. Please leave your bubble once in a while.

  It's the size, frequency and diversity that is unique to Toronto on top of the job market and cultural centres. So all those cities have the same things but in much smaller quantities and generally missing out on larger events which Toronto is never skipped for. I don't live in Toronto and haven't for more than short stints in nearly 25 years. Toronto is a great city. Vancouver is a beautiful boring sprawl and it's got some great things within a short drive. Montreal has a good cultural scene but fails on the job market. All the rest of the cities are too small to compare. Other parts of Canada aren't terrible and definitly make more sense than Toronto for a lot of people. But Toronto has a combination of things that no other city in Canada compares to and to deny that is to be delusional.

  Having lived in Victoria, Ottawa, and Toronto there’s no way in hell can you even put those in the same league, not even close to what Toronto has to offer. I’m gonna have to turn the assumption towards you and assume you’ve never lived in Toronto yourself, maybe just visited and toured the trifecta of the CN tower, Ripley’s, and Niagara Falls.
