Having lived and worked in Montréal and Toronto before, I can totally understand that sentiment. People are priced out of Toronto making 110k$/year if they wanted to live in an urban city. So people just aren’t attached to it. They probably lived further near or into the GTA where it’s less urban, or were paying a 1900$/month rent for a small bachelor apartment and were constantly comparing their experience with the bill.

Montréal on the other hand, people will fight for. You can live here for (relative to Toronto) cheap, get the whole urban dream, and live around some very nice people that are equally proud of their city.
