There is something about the scale of Montreal's buildings that can make it look smaller.
People talk about building heights a lot but not the size or square footage of buildings so much. Sun Life in Montreal is not that tall but has over 1 million square feet of space. It's probably more than double the size of the largest Vancouver office tower, and significantly larger than any residential or mixed-use building here. Place Ville Marie is big too.
Having those larger buildings, I think, makes things look smaller sometimes. In these aerials you tend to perceive the mix of buildings or relative scales more than absolute size, which is very hard to judge. It is different when you are there in person.
