I can't understand the hate for 300 Front that most people seem to have. Saying that it's hideous, ugly, a disaster, etc... I would agree that it isn't great, but it seems perfectly normal in the skyline. Tall filler as others have said. I may change my mind once I see it from up close though.

From that perspective it looks much better than the Mississauga condo building it looks like from the front.

Mohkínstsis — 1.6 million people at the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 400 high-rises, a 300-metre SE to NW climb, over 1000 kilometres of pathways, with 20% of the urban area as parkland.
But like I said on the last page, needs a bit of a scrubbing.
She's a dirty girl.
I've often wondered what it would be like with transparent or translucent panels. Given that grass is in the offing, might Rogers invest in roof improvements too?
I post Trump and MNP often. Vancouverites don't like posting in the Canada section(I asked a few of them why and seems to have had something to do with being shit on every time they mentioned something positive about their city. Hmmm, sounds familiar! ), so I quote and repost their stuff here once every couple of weeks.

I think that was before either of our times on here Architect. I've only been on SSP since 2011 so I dunno for sure. I do remember back when I lived in Van though, it was basically only me and MetroOne who posted on here, now he hardly even does. But at least now we have the lovely Klazu!

It a few years back, but it's not the main problem.
The Canada forum is generally dominated by Toronto, which is why we started the Toronto local to try and steer some of the more detailed discussions to the local but it hasn't been too successful.
I would guess that the Canada section will continue to be under represented by smaller places while the Toronto local is underused, as any post made by someone else gets lost in Toronto based discussions which in other cities would take place in the local forums. There's not much we can do, and no one is really at fault, it's just how the Canada section has evolved.

It's a side effect of the discussions being based around height and our 2nd/3rd cities by population having height limits.
I like the tallest per city thread.
A Top 50 by Quality U/C would be interesting too; except we would never agree on what attributes make a high quality building (many seem to believe height helps).
I've thought the same thing RBT, but you're right it would be nigh impossible to agree on a criteria.

I remember the days before subforums existed. That was fun. Too bad we can't go back there as Toronto's 500 foot count is within striking distance of Sydney and Melbourne combined. Chicagoans can't deny we have more high rises and the height/storey cutoff where Chicago begins to have more towers has increased a good 30 metres and continues to rise.

The only threads that Torontonians dominate are the Top 10 U/C, Top 11-30 U/C and Top 50 Threads, and that's simply because those threads are about height, wherein Toronto is indeed dominant. I don't see a proportionally high amount of Toronto content in the other threads.
