Wealthiest in Canada as far as I know... Pretty funny considering it's an Anglo university in a French province...

Going by endowments it's third, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_universities_by_endowment But they have like $6 billion in assets if I'm reading this balance sheet right UofT is "only" $5.8 billion

Not really if you look at the history of Montreal and Quebec in general before the quiet revolution. There's a reason why there's so much resentment towards the English from the French Quebecois nation. But that's a whole other story.

Oh I understand the historical context that lead to it, but there's a whole lot of political decisions (or lack of political decisions) since the quiet revolution that still allows it to be as wealthy as it is as a university that doesn't teach in the only official language in the province even though education is a provincial power.
