This isn't that surprising when you break it down.

While it's rarely thought about or discussed - Toronto isn't a small little town in Canada. It's the 4th largest city in North America. Bigger than Chicago, Houston and Philadelphia.

Combine that with the fact that the Canadian dollar is weak and you've got the perfect match for tech companies.

Toronto is more like 10th in size (metro population).

Your comparison is based on population within "city limits" which are arbitrary and widely varying as to how much of the urban area of a city they cover.

Your overall point isn't invalid, just pointing it isn't that big.
