Also to say "the North Side" as if its insignificant to the rest of the city makes it sound like its a small area. 1.3 million people live on the North Side.

Toronto's does kind of scatter in all directions. There's a central spine, but there's a lot in other directions too.

Chicago still has the better and bigger skyline, but Toronto has a lot more secondary skylines. Which is better is a matter of personal taste. Though Toronto's does result in higher overall density.
Also I feel Toronto should compete with San Francisco, that's a city closer in scale.
