That's the intended design by Cesar Pelli. I thought it was odd too at first.

Good question.

It makes me wonder why anyone lives in Vancouver these days.

I think he's talking about the one oddball panel on the left, rather than the colour blocking.
The windows are single pane glass and there' UV film applied to the inside of the glass - and that film is periodically replaced as it ages, dries and cracks. So it could be the film applied to the inside of the window.

Tried to take a shot with the BlackBerry today - not enogh light for a clear shot - will bring the camera in tomorrow.

One more panel! Or is that deliberate? Pretty much done. This should be in the national section as well somewhere?

Couple more panels on the edges of those fins plus a few windows on the east side.

Is there an updated ETA on when the cladding will be completed?

Beautiful photo, not only the building, but the angle and light as well.
