Based on what? Don't get ahead of yourself.

26,812 out for a game in
April against an
expansion team when the Leafs are starting their first playoffs in years and the Raptors third in conference. For me, i'm interested to see how things go this summer if the Jays have a lame duck season (currently off to a sluggish 1-4 start).
The days of assuming TFC were a flash-in-the-pan-thing are starting to wither, i'd imagine.

We don't have any confirmation of that.

Canada likely won't be receiving more than two hosting slots for the WC. Toronto and Vancouver are obvious first choices, followed by Edmonton and Montreal. In that order. Regina doesn't have any history hosting any FIFA/CONCACAF events. Ottawa is ahead of both of them i'd imagine but it won't be coming down to that.
It would have to take a pretty ridiculous number of circumstances to occur for Canada's first ever World Cup hosting duties to not include Toronto. Any potential issues with BMO (size, whatever) can easily be remedied given that this WC is set for
2026.
