World class city? Not even close. Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, those are world class cities if you go by name recognition.
Having a nice old district and a big hotel does not make a world class city. There are hundreds of cities in Europe like Quebec City.
If you want to go by the actual accepted "Global Cities" rankings then its even worse for QC's relevance.

Cities like Edmonton, Winnipeg and QC don't even rank in the top 100 in these, with Calgary rarely appearing far down as well.
