There is definitely more wealth in Boston and Philadelphia than in Montreal. That being said, levels of inequality appear to be higher in Bos/Philly too.
Make of them what you will, but most global city rankings place Montreal squarely in between Boston and Philadelphia in terms of influence/importance.
The economies of Boston and Philadelphia are certainly larger (GDP/capita always tends to be higher in US cities versus their Canadian counterparts) but Montreal is no slouch when it comes to education, cultural resources, even the presence of international organizations (ICAO, WADA) etc.
