Another way I would put it, is which is more prominent, New Jersey or Quebec? The populations are similar, and NJ has a larger economy, but is it really a question? Obviously Quebec is more prominent. There is more to things than straight population and GDP.

In regards to Toronto being large, yeah it is compared to Cleveland. Get back to me when there are 20 million plus people like in metro NY or LA. And in a European or Asian context, does anyone think Toronto is a "big city" on par with Paris, London, Moscow, Istanbul, or even Barcelona or Berlin for that matter? No one who has visited any of those places.
