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.
