I don't think Toronto, despite making the shortlist, really has any chance either, especially not with Trump's recent tax cuts.
Trump's tax cuts aren't really relevant to Amazon, because as a company that runs on thin margins it doesn't pay much corporate tax anyway. And tech companies in general pay very little corporate tax. Most of the companies that got a real meaningful boost from the Trump cuts are retailers and finance companies.
