CANADA / IN THE PROVINCES; IT'S TORONTO'S TURN; SHREWD SUPERGOVERNMENT AND A RIVAL CITY'S DECLINE HELPED CREATE A VITAL; METROPOLIS; NOW, CHALLENGE IS TO KEEP IT GREAT
1984
Overview
The area-wide supergovernment that [Paul V. Godfrey] heads, called Metro, deserves a lot of the credit for shaping Toronto's fast but relatively graceful growth. In terms of power to govern, there's no match for Metro anywhere in North America; it's the ultimate in consolidation, a federation of the city of Toronto with its suburbs. An enormous postwar stream of Italians, Germans, Greeks, Hungarians, Portuguese, Chinese and other non-English-speaking men, women and children revitalized the rather bland postwar Toronto simply by immigrating here. More than 300,000 Italians alone have settled in Toronto since the end of the war. The immigrants were happy to take on the boom-time dirty work, subway construction and other jobs, and Toronto welcomed them. To some degree, Toronto's rise came at Montreal's expense. As Quebec tilted toward separatism and a spate of laws were passed regulating the use of English in business and schools, people and businesses abandoned Quebec and Montreal for Ontario and Toronto. By one count, 1500 companies left Quebec between 1976 and 1982, and a big share came straight to Toronto.
