I'd agree with the above. I'd drop just about every Canadian city by one sub tier. Maybe keep Edmonton and Ottawa where they are.

They update this ranking about every two years - rankings are fun but should be taken with a grain of salt. Realistically, it probably takes at least a decade for a city to realistically make a jump from a Beta to a Beta+ (for example), if not more as perception often takes time to catch up with reality.

That being said, it's nice that our cities are getting the recognition from probably the most referenced global city think tank.
