And you said that without the CN tower Toronto would just look like Chicago (Among a host of other cities) However that is not true as Chicago's skyline is set apart by its architecture which in my opinion and many others is second to none. If you took away the CN tower Toronto would not look like Chicago in any way, nor would it look nearly as recognizable.

Toronto's skyline is not just composed of a CBD, its also got lots of residentials outside the main business area, going to the west, east and north and now even to the south...
Without the CN Tower, and the Skydome, Toronto is just a mass of angluar boxy point towers of varying hieghts, something very similar to chicago.... unless you're able to point out other major differences..
The lines are the same, even if the context of hieght is removed.
