Toronto’s quest for glory
Toronto has the critical mass for a great city, but you can’t manufacture the spontaneity of self-confidence and the genius of originality from an aggregation of windfalls, no matter how graciously received and diligently tended. The greatness of Toronto has to happen; it can’t be staged. It can seek excellence in all fields and focus on the mundane but essential structure of a successful metropolis, but some distinctive and alluring esprit is going to have to emerge from the earnest cravings and strivings of the five million people of the GTA.
- Conrad Black, in another meandering but sometimes interesting missive from his prison cell. (NatPo)
