Dc's finest........ As a DC resident I will say this:

You can believe all you want that DC has a buisier downtown when in reality Toronto has over 150,000 people living in the downtown area( waaay more than dc has and the gap is slowly growing), and Toronto is pushing towards 90 million sq of office space. Toronto has more international tourists, shoppers, and is often mistaken as the Capitol of Canada from uninformed outsiders.

Sorry bud but dc cant be the best in everything.

Ha ha ha

I bet most of city- data will agree with me that you are boosting your city and inflating numbers.
Dc has 105 million sq. foot of office space, som reports even say 107 but not 120. Also a good number of that space is owned by uncle sam if you didn't know bud.

I was not aware the metric system in Canada is the same as the US. That is interesting.

They have a mixed system. They use the metric and imperial system. But mostly metric.

You can't just remove TO so DC can win, and even then it's not a guaranteed win in every respect.
