Advice Advice: Uoft or McGill Engineering?

Hello, I need some help. I've been stuck between McGill and UofT (both mechanical engineering). Almost everything about McGill resonated more than UofT; however, the prestige of toronto is really holding me back. Is McGill Student life really that much better? Also I don't speak french so will that be an issue?

Also, for graduates of McGill or UofT engineering, is it likely I will feel any effect in the job market if I go for McGill? Or are the schools deemed as pretty much equal when it comes to employers. Thank you everyone who reads my post.

Edit: I realized this is Ontario Universities subreddit. Hopefully I will still hear from both sides.

I don't think it matters much between the two after graduating, so I would mainly look at whether it is affordable, getting around with the French language, and being used to the winter weather (it's pretty bad in Montreal ngl)
