Is Toronto the Chicago or NYC of Canada?? (better, largest, compare)

[Mezter]

I was just wondering if people from Canada thought of Toronto as a big city. Kinda like how we people from the USA think of NYC or Chicao as the "Big City".
Please comment and even post pictures if possible. Thank you!

A bit of both. But it also (the metro area) has a large automobile manufacturing presence, which Chicago and NY don't really have. There is over 1 billion square feet of industrial square footage, which I believe is 3rd in North American metros behind L.A. and Chicago.

I'd say it's the NYC of Canada that looks like Chicago.

Last I heard Toronto was the Toronto of Canada.

Did it change recently?

The main issue with the New York anology is, New York is the New York of Canada.

If you are a musician, you want to play radio city music hall, if you’re a Canadian actor, you want to win a Tony, if you want investors, you go to New York etc.

As much as Chicago is subjugated to New York, Toronto is too. Because generally Canadians go to the US to “make it big” it’s ecosystem is entirely full of secondary cities. There isn’t a New York or LA.

Like that Affirmative action case was done Ontario kid that was mad he didn’t get into Harvard, cause Canada doesn’t have its own Harvard. It has its own Rices or Emory’s or Case Westerns, like pretty elite Universities

It’s the NYC of Canada, but otherwise compares better in many ways to Chicago.
