Maurizio Bevilacqua should have waited at least one century before saying that Vaughan is a world-class city.

I just think Toronto is a big city in transition searching for an identity. We're not there yet. Again, I only hear this "world class city" talk from other Torontonians.
I think the main indicator of a "World class" city is they have enough confidence that they don't need to compare themselves to other cities. They just get things done their own way. World class cities are leaders, not followers.

Really? Try looking at discussions in other cities and seeing what their pols say:
'We are a world-class city and [the 2024 Olympics] would just be another notch in our belt- - Mayor of Boston
'We are a world class city, and it's time we invested in world class infrastructure' - Mayor of LA, talking about a bridge
'Are we a world-class city, or do we just call ourselves that?' - Vancouver discussion
'Are we a world-class city, or are we just a bigger Omaha or St. Paul?' - Chicago

'Are we a world-class city or do we close at 10?' - discussion about extending opening hours in Sydney.
