I don't really think a supertall would compliment the skyline's built form or profile particularly well, especially since the bulk of tall construction in the city (and country even) tend to be residential towers with smaller floor plates. It would resemble a middle finger pointed towards the 401 or the National Assembly, whichever you choose.

That said, imagining the height limit were lifted for the sake of argument, I think a 230-260m tower with some heft and possibly terminating in a pinnacle or spire would fit the skyline nicely.
