You're right to point out that Toronto remains a great city to visit with lots of things to see and do.
But you get these discussions often in response to comments that Toronto because it's the biggest, leaves every other city in the dust on every metric.
I do think it does in terms of economic growth and potential, but I don't think that's the case when it comes to visitor interest compared to Montreal and Vancouver, who definitely hold their own extremely favourably vis-à-vis Toronto.
VFR, business traveller and transiting air passenger numbers notwithstanding.
