The fact that Toronto-Waterloo did not win is not surprising (the incentives offered by the winners add up to US$2.4B, and that's only about a third of what NJ had offered), but it's maybe not such a bad thing anyway. Luisa D'Amato is of the same opinion:

Funny that nobody noticed before the final award that locations around 6km from each of the Bezos’ houses were included, and predicted those locations. It was pretty much a fake competition from the beginning.
I had seen that somewhere, but most people never noticed. But Bezos leveraged the competition to get $2.4B of government funding for his struggling dominant company.
