Yeah but Montreal > Toronto.

mehhhh lemme play devil's advocate for a moment because Toronto is growing on me.

Imo...from living 5 years (school+working for 8 months there) in Montreal and living almost two years in Toronto...

Montreal is much better on the following things:
-quality of life (rent, cheap booze, etc)
-bar/club scene
-college life (McGill >>>>>> a school like Ryerson or UofT in terms of overall awesomeness)
-as a place to retire (Toronto is much more expensive to live where the action is, Montreal you can get a huge condo for cheap a block away from the Montreal Jazz fest)
-as a place to live during the summer (Montreal festivals, ie jazz fest and comedy fest>>>>>>>Toronto festivals like caribanna and all the other crap they put on...srsly I went to a blues fest in Toronto and it was like white 40-something fatty central and the music sucked).
-if you are French (ldo)
-hotter women (mostly because of McGill/Concordia/UofM chicks)
-better place to visit for the weekend
-better strip clubs

Toronto is a much better place to

-live your 20s, post school (if you've got money it is waaaay more ballin')
-the best restaurants are better and MUCH more expensive, although the overall average quality of a Montreal restaurant is higher
-better transit/infrastructure (Montreal is falling apart from the inside, at least more than Toronto is)
-basically the center of Canada if you are involved in anything financial...Montreal sucks for jobs in most big sectors related to Wall Street/Bay Street
-if you are an Anglophone (good luck getting a job in Quebec without speaking fluent French)
