Non-urbanism enthusiasts do well to recognise most cities in a clear, high detail, perfectly lit daytime shot.

I'd guess something of Paris with the Eiffel Tower, and something of London with Westminster, would do fine.
For Canadians with a degree of interest my only guesses would be Toronto and maybe Quebec City (the big gaps and prominence of Chateau Frontenac give it a chance). They'd have to know if was a Canadian city, and even then I think it would be a small number. Slim chance for Niagara Falls, and maybe Montreal would get a few just by population numbers.
