This is the first time I have visited Toronto for work since the onset of the pandemic. Every time I come here I am reminded of just how intertwined the Canadian economy is with its ‘capital’ city. Every time you pay a bank fee, download a Drake song, watch the national news, book an airline ticket, and a host of other activities, Toronto’s GDP ticks up a notch. This mostly doesn’t work in reverse which is why places like New Brunswick or Nova Scotia need to focus on nurturing its own export industries.
