Sort of related, Toronto has the 7th most competitive tax environment of "35 major international cities with estimated metro-area populations of at least 2 million". We got beat by San Juan, Puebla, Guadalajara, Vancouver (surprised the hell out of me), Monterey and Montreal (surprised me even more).

But yea, Toronto is most certainly not the second most expensive city in N. America. The results are just being distorted by the CAD run up and the housing meltdown in the USA.
Dichotomy's MO isn't to be right. It is just to make unsubstantiated statements, treat them like fact and then to refer to any contradictory facts as a socialist conspiracy theory. Too much Lou Dobbs.

Archivist: But even within Germany, Berlin punches below its economic weight, and the anticipated moves of head offices to the city just didn't happen. It's an odd city for dichotomy in particular to have named Berlin in his question above, given the city's well documented problems with debt and unemployment despite the enormous infusion of federal dollars to the capitalm, and his frequent disparaging comments about Toronto's economic malaise.
