It's interesting that both Toronto and especially Calgary punch above their weight when it comes to the size of their population versus the size of their skyline. Calgary's skyline could easily go toe to toe with any major American city outside of Chicago or New York. Toronto's in a weird no-man's land where it's substantially larger than the rest of the pack, but still a ways off from being as big as Chicago or New York, though Chicago is at least within shouting distance.
Anyway, as far as my preference goes, I'd rank them as:
1) Toronto
2) Montreal & Calgary
4) Vancouver
It's hard for me to choose between Montreal and Calgary. Montreal's skyline has age, variety, depth, texture and ambiance, whereas Calgary's skyline is very sleek, imposing and powerful. I'm not so hot on Vancouver due to the extreme prevalence of bland green-blue glass condos.
