It's actually been closed already. Household incomes in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are basically identical at this point.
The main difference that disadvantages Montreal is the relative absence of old money, at least compared to the other two cities. Most of the old money that Montreal had at one time was anglo controlled and decamped post-1976, and there is little francophone old money to begin with.
