People didn't move to Toronto from Montreal because it's more affordable. They moved because of the language laws that make English speakers second class at best in Quebec.

It was more about the Quebec independence referendum. Before that, Montreal was the economic capital of Canada.

I didn’t mean to claim that Toronto was more affordable than Montreal, simply that Toronto previous affordability allowed it to become what it is today.
