Good lord man, do you need an icepack? Sorry, I haven't been to Saskatchewan, there is nothing for me there. But it doesn't mean I don't take interest in the development of the two main cities in the province. I'm not going to dive into the details of things, but I like to keep track of what's there, and what to expect in the future.
Up until 2008, at a population of 2.2 million, Vancouver also didn't have a building over 150 meters either. So if you're so concerned about my opinion of you're regions "phallic reach," why aren't you considering it a compliment that I'm curious to see if there are any 150 meter proposals coming down the pipe? Especially for cities that are anywhere from 1/12th to 1/3rd Vancouver's size?

anyway roccerfeller's right, it would be winnipeg, then regina, then saskatoon. winnipeg based on its size (though i'm pretty sure saskatoon continues to be the fastest growing city in the country), regina based on the fact that its skyline-equals-identity, and then saskatoon probably never since that scale wouldn't work in the valley, at least for the foreseeable future.

Alright, different question then, what will Winnipeg hit first? 150 meters or 1 million pop? And I was always under the impression that Regina and Saskatoon were of similar size, both in population and general appearance and size of their skylines. If regina is almost 50 000 smaller than Saskatoon, how did it end up getting the larger and more identifiable skyline?
