I always loved that scene. The word Toronto is written in like three places in that square and there’s more than one Canadian flag. Both a dig at the fact that Toronto is used for New York everywhere and the fact that Kirk is a glorious dumbass.
Fun fact: Did you know that New York City has basically no alleys? They’ve got around 5 and only one of them is really film worthy. Meanwhile, Toronto has alleys up the ass. One of the reasons people believe alleys are everywhere in NYC is because they are everywhere in downtown Toronto and that’s where they film.
I love that scene too. When Kirk first mentioned if it was New York, I just blindly assumed that the writers and producers were just going to go in that direction. I was partly sad that Toronto was going to masked over as another American city but at the same time nostalgically looking forward to seeing the city any way.
It was both a sigh of relief and a big smile when La’an looked at Kirk like he was an idiot and told him it was Toronto.

Considering how much they talk about loving Toronto, I would have lost my shit if they called it New York. Fuck youuuuuuuu. WE EXIST.
