It seems that according to Maclean's Canadian University rankings, Ryerson is #11 among primarily undergraduate schools. I don't know much about these rankings, but this would seem to indicate more of a liberal arts college than a community college. This is similar to the status held by Harvey Mudd, Swarthmore, etc...
Anyways, I am certainly not the expert in this situation and you probably know more than me about the school seeing as you are from Toronto. The point though is that your comment was insulting, whether it was meant to be or not, and really did not add anything to the discussion.
