I live in Toronto. I'm writing a blog post about a phenomenon I think I notice, where for a variety of reasons, people make claims about Toronto along the lines of "the movie industry here is comparable to what you find in LA" or "the tech scene here is poised to become the next Silicon Valley any minute now". But it's hard for me to exactly put a finger on visible examples of the thing I am naming. Ideas?
Does this resonate for you? What I want is to explain to a reader what I'm talking about.
I'm looking for (ideally) concrete examples where people suggest that Tornto is, or is about to be, a place of global impact on a comparable scale to LA for Entertainment, SF for tech, or NYC for publishing/media. The thesis of my article is that it's not comparable to those places, they they have immeasurably more impact, and that that's okay... Anecdotal examples are cool, too, but the best thing would be links to actual examples... |
