I think Americans need to allow Canadians to keep their notion of superiority to the US today.
Just keep in mind a -----> don't "Mess with Canada" or expect a defense that always is going to be in responses that could begin with .... "how dare you"
It is clear here on Toronto brought in and just respond with a ---> Not YET a NYC. But surely leave that possibility open. Also NEVER give any hint Canada is not superior politically, socially and racially.
What is your thing with Canada here? Did you even look at the Data that that poster provided and check the veracity of his claims that Canada has the second highest debt to GDP in the world? His own linked proved that wasn't the case if he or even you looked at the data which you probably didn't because it just doesn't fall in line with his or your own narrative. It is increasingly becoming harder to take you seriously. Your animus towards Canada and Toronto is on full display with this post. I'm sorry but making claims while at the same time in the very same post providing data that proves your claims are incorrect just blows credibility to smithereens.
As for my post in another thread - I don't think anything I said about Toronto or Chicago was untrue or unfounded whatsoever. I know you have an affinity for Chicago but the truth is you just don't like to hear things that apparently make sense and even something that is demonstrably true you don't like! It rubs you the wrong way - just admit it! I thought I was quite honest and balanced about things but apparently unless one isn't denigrating or dismissing Toronto and Canada it simply won't cut it. One thing I will say is if you even begin to think that your strategy is going to curb my posts think again!

Regardless, none of this takes away from the fact that it's dumb to bring up a slag (especially when the info is wrong) about Canada's debt ratio in a discussion about a "capital of the world". Of course, the "capital of the world" discussion is arguably dumb to begin with, although we're all having fun with it, aren't we?

They kind of are socially & politically superior to us though, you have to admit.

I have a lot of cool American friends and even family so I tend to separate the politics from the people. There are a lot of cool, reasonable and intelligent Americans on this forum - yourself included

Thanks dude. Likewise!
As for the bolded, a lot of us Americans should probably try to do the same more often. Myself included. It's hard though in our current political climate. Everyone always wants to talk about politics lately it seems. It's inescapable. Even here on CD.

It is a tough situation the majority of Americans have inherited but the key here is the majority of Americans don't want or don't support this and it won't last forever. In any event, you live in the shining city on the hill in your country and as best an example of the capital city of the world - so it could be worse
Toronto will never be considered the world capital, but it's more international-minded than any American city bar New York.
I hope things remain civil. But it's true that American cities have little interest in besting 1000 year old European cities or massively building Asian cities.
Only NYC is a city that can battle the rest of the world in GDP and density. (though some US metros do make inroads). I've read many times a Canadian city as Toronto strives more to European standards or Asian. It may or may not claim a NYC standard too? But it remains perhaps still culturally more American-like? But may be changing as some in their forums declare more a UK one?
Asian cities no doubt will rise. But the US will still have many mid-sized cities by world standards that may gain densities. But never get close to NYC's or the worlds cities. CAPITAL OF THE WORLD is a high bar. Only a hand full of cities could be considered. Only one is in the US. I won't speak for neighboring nations with aspirations for their key city.
Capital of the World again -- should be in the World forum for more intentional visitors to the thread for input. As perhaps yourself?
