British comedian John Cleese took some time out of his recent interview with the National Post to bolster Toronto’s fragile self-esteem. Asked to give his impressions of Canada’s various cities, the Monty Python veteran delivered the same sort of pep talk a well-meaning person might give to a luckless friend. “What I like about Toronto is that you’re a super city and you’re always apologizing for it, for no good reason,” he said. We’re sorry, John Cleese. Sorry for not knowing how super we are.
