The Great Canadian Skyline Thread!

[RyLucky]

I love Montreal, but when you get far enough from the core, it's just as crappy and suburban as every other Canadian CMA.

Maybe Montrealers don't consider Laval and Kirkland and Brossard as part of the city, but really it's inseparable. Just like how TO has Richmond Hill and Brampton, or how Calgary has Mackenzie Towne or Saddleridge, or Vancouver has Surrey and Richmond.

That said, I'll grant that Montreal punches above its weight for how far you can walk without leaving a medium-dense corridor. Bonus points for best bagels.

It's the core and immediate periphery of each city that gives it its character, livelihood, and identity. That's why Montreal is great. It's easy to forget how mediocre its suburbs are.
