I think a big part of it is just that Toronto is a newer city. It doesn't have a lot of roads from the 1700's and early 1800's. Many of the narrowest roads in Halifax date back to that period.
Toronto has easier geography to deal with too. Flatter, less water, less rock. Road building is easier and cheaper there. Not sure this is actually a good thing. Toronto has a lot of large, unfriendly arterial type roads even in the urban core.
