Personally a lot of what makes Montreal great is because of the financial and corporate flight of early eighties not despite this exodus. The affordable housing, focus on arts and French character are all helped by this. Yes Montreal would have a more vibrant multicultural community and more jobs especially for university grads but overall I think it's a net plus. For sure the modern architecture in Toronto dwarfs Montreal but who knows how many more old neighbourhoods would have been razed.
