In my mind it still is: NY, LA, Chicago, Toronto, Montréal are what I consider the top 5 cities/Metros for North America
Maybe I'm viewing it from a Canadian lens, although I have travelled to a decent chunk of America that I feel qualified to make this assessment
I know I'll probably get flack from Yanks in particular. To me these are the most cosmopolitan and have the blend of historic areas, charming and interesting neighbourhoods combined with constant change in the core.
Back to the airport, do you think had they piled all that money from the Mirabel dream but instead to make Dorval the best it could be that Montréal would have maintained more international connections?
