Don't forget the CN tower is the focal point of the skyline. A supertall could take away from it making it look obsolete almost.

I do find skyline's like Taipei awkward due to a super tall dwarfing the rest of the skyline, but Toronto has bulked up enough. It's ready for a few 300m+ or 400m+ buildings.
I'd qualify that the CN Tower is the focal point of the skyline
for now. The idea that it must always tower over everything else or remain the tallest is just bizarre. Vibrant cities continue to change, grow, and evolve. The CN Tower is just one part of the evolution of our skyline; dynamic cities continually build new focal points. Paris isn't stopping with the Eiffel Tower and New York isn't stopping with the Empire State building.
