Toronto

Multiple realities

Central Toronto at dusk in 2022

An area of downtown Toronto in 2022

Toronto was the capital city of the province of Ontario, and once the biggest city in Canada on Earth.

In winter 2022, it was home to the Noonien-Singh Institute for Cultural Advancement, which was developing a cold fusion reactor and was also home to the young Khan Noonien Singh. During that time period, it was visited by La'an Noonien-Singh and an alternate universe James T. Kirk, who were sent there by a dying Department of Temporal Investigations agent to foil a plot to alter Earth history. Kirk did not immediately recognize the city, mistaking it for New York City. He was unfamiliar with Toronto and Canada as he had never been to Earth, which was a wasteland in his timeline.

During their visit, the city suffered an apparent terrorist attack when the Lake Ontario Bridge was destroyed by an explosion soon after it was completed. The explosion was actually caused by photonic bombs planted by Sera, a time-travelling Romulan agent, who was there to kill Khan Noonien-Singh and thereby prevent the formation of the Federation. She initially intended to detonate the fusion reactor, and when this failed, she tried to assassinate Khan personally. The plot was foiled by La'an and Kirk, with both Kirk and Sera being killed in the incident. (SNW: "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow")

In an alternate timeline, the city was destroyed in 2022 when Sera detonated the cold fusion reactor. This incident and the resulting death of Khan caused the divergence of the timelines, prevented the Federation from being formed, and led to the devastation and abandonment of Earth. (SNW: "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow")

In 2365, a view of Toronto appeared through an Iconian gateway found on Iconia. (TNG: "Contagion")
