Montreal's heyday as the unquestioned metropolis was quite a bit shorter than the common narrative implies... Confederation to World War One might even be a stretch. Toronto had its eyes on the prize since the 1890s.
The concentration of mining shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange was the factor that led to its surpassing the Montreal Exchange. Language is significant, as Bill 101 made it impossible for Montreal to really act as an English-speaking city in daily life, but the Toronto Exchange was larger by market cap by 1930.
