Dundas Square is what it is. It's inherently tacky as a tribute to mass consumerism. Comparing it to an arts and culture district is absolutely ridiculous. Stop taking everything so personal.

But Dundas Square and Place de Festivals perform the same functions - concerts, movies, festivals, demonstrations etc. They're both square(ish), they're both downtown and they both have fountains. That's where the similarities end.
I went to a NXNE concert at DS and left halfway through. Dinky stage, bad sound, horrible sightlines (made even worse by a plethora of sponsor booths), bored crowd and of course, the ubiquitous 'drinking stockade' that you had to line up for over an hour to get into, surrounded by fencing and security guards. I didn't bother.
My visit to the former Stasi HQ in Berlin was a more joyful experience.
