I think there are other concerns and it appears the decision has been made, but of course I'd be happy to help out with things if Git Merge were in Toronto. I don't have experience organizing events, but I am pretty familiar with the city, having lived here for almost 4 years, and could, of course, make suggestions on locales or help coordinate things to the best of my ability. The city also has great public transit[0], which I always think is an asset for travelers from out of town. I must say I am less familiar with Montréal, having been there only twice, but I do speak French reasonably well (although English is commonly spoken) and it's only a five-hour train ride, so if that were the choice I'd be happy to help there as well, although I'm less confident in my abilities.
