Never.
I can live with Le Concorde which isn't too bad a modernist incursion on the skyline. But I hate Marie Guyart (Complexe G).

I quite like brutalism and I'm a fan of Complexe G as well. It's very 3-dimensional, despite being monolithic. Very architectural.
I wouldn't want a skyline full of them, but I find Complexe G stands fairly proud, very much of its era.
Though, all things being equal, y'know what would have looked better in the same view as the Château Frontenac and Édifice Price? No modern towers.
Given that they didn't leave well enough alone, might as well continue the layering of eras and add something modern, albeit minimalist.
