Agreed. And having to append the word "Hamilton" to McMaster is a similar type of thing. When Harvard is mentioned, nobody has to append "Boston" or "Cambridge" to it because it is already known. If McMaster were some lesser known or completely unknown university (e.g. Quest University in Squamish, BC), then it would be more necessary to mention its location.
As a couple of others have pointed out, the inferiority complex here lies in Hamilton. The suggestion that this is some kind of a slight on the part of Toronto is pretty ridiculous.
