Waterloo very well known: Physics, CompSci, Mathematics, Engineering, Optometry departments. Good, but not great: Science, Econ. Average: Traditional arts and humanities. While Toronto has a first tier medical, legal, and maybe engineering programs. Everything else is just good or worse. for a top 3 school list in the country, Waterloo and Toronto both definitely deserve a spot, but I wouldn't say that Toronto is solidly the best in Canada; nor would I say that of Waterloo. But for the two of them to be that separated basically means that this list is measuring the wrong things.
