One only has to look at the Manhattan-ization of Toronto to see that it's importance will rise on the world stage.
London will always be the king of the commonwealth. But Canada will probably overtake UK in population.
I think Toronto will be a more important city than Melbourne, plus Canada will probably fare better with climate change than Australia which, from my understanding, is like 1/3 desert climate.
I understand my opinions are biased being Canadian.
