For many of us New Englanders, Montreal is
still the primary Canadian city. People are vaguely aware that Toronto is now bigger and "more important" (the Raptors' profile helped a lot), but the ties between New England and Montreal are too deep to have Toronto replace Montreal as top of mind for Canada anytime soon.
Maybe around Burlington - even though it's so close to Montreal - people view Toronto as the big boy? I imagine they're more informed, given they're a lot closer to either city than metro Boston is.
