The fastest flight from Toronto to ONT takes about ten hours with a single layover in Denver, while the quickest flight to SMF takes about seven hours and 30 minutes with a stop either in San Francisco, Chicago, or Washington. YYZ is the better of the two Toronto airports because it offers more flights a day, and it is also the only Toronto airport offering direct flights to California.
