yes, montreal was perceived as canada's alpha city even long after it was in fact so.
one of the things that probably aided that perception lag was montreal's much more exotic french allure.
to many americans, toronto was like any other great lakes city, just without the obligatory big black ghetto full of violence and despair, whereas montreal was seen as a truly foreign city right on our nation's doorstep.
