NA class is interesting idea.
Purely anecdotal, but since moving to Chicago area, have chatted with probably 100 people about moving here from Montreal. Maybe 40% suggested Montreal was the one city in Canada they would love to visit. Several talked about hoping to visit the Canadian rockies one day (without reference to Calgary), a few talked Toronto or Vancouver.
A city like Montreal, littered from one end to the other with crumbling infrastructure, is a very long way from world class, but I'll bet it ranks high in North American class destination talk.
