I took a bike ride to Samuel Smith park in New Toronto last summer expecting to see such a view... but it happened to be one of the only foggy days of the year. My luck, coming from one of the foggiest cities in Canada. Next time...
Here's a photo from one of the higher locations in KW taken on the 17th. It's now the tallest building in the Region having surpassed Duke Tower. I also attached another image from Google Maps which shows how vastly different the skyline is in just under 6 years. Both images show the skyline from St Mary's hospital to Cameron Heights (a high school), in 2019 the tallest building was 1 Victoria which is right next to TEK Tower.
Another perspective with TEK visible. From the ION crossing the expressway on Northfield. DTK is on the left, Station Park just out of frame on the right.

I would say yes. Still a ways to go, but the progress is pretty remarkable. Here's a photo (also Mar. 25) from Waterloo Park (next to the Barrel Yards) that shows the growing number of towers in Kitchener visible from further afield. It includes Station Park, so I feel okay including it here. SP Duo pt. 2, SP Building E, 417 King St W, 864 King St W, and 924-944 King St would all be within this photo if completed today.

Here's a less Kitchener-focused shot from the same spot showing the Uptown Waterloo skyline.
There aren't many cities of Montreal's size that are on a wider, more-voluminous river.
The cities on the Yangtze like Wuhan and Nanjing come to mind. And Kinshasa/Brazzaville. That's all I can think of. There are, of course, smaller cities on bigger rivers like New Orleans or Manaus, and then there are bigger cities on big rivers that have already emptied out into sea, like Buenos Aires.

Also Detroit-Windsor, and places along the St. Claire river.
(I'm aware that there's dispute about whether those are rivers or part of a strait, so whatever)
