Brentwood (Burnaby) skyline today. This view will change dramatically in the next 5 years with several 40-70 stories towers going up in this suburban town centre.
A few of good ole' Calgary from this afternoon's hike through Nose Hill Park...
Downtown from the park...
Brentwood/University skyline...

I think its safe to say that Montreal has the best night lighting of any Canadian city. Certainly puts Toronto to shame, although lately we're been getting better at it.

What's this about a 70 story tower in Burnaby? The tallest in the database is 57 stories.
Altus will be 70, I believe. For some reason it is listed at 49 in the database... but obviously a 184 meter (mostly)residential tower would have to have more floors than 49.

184m would be some incredibly short floors for any building(only 2.63m!!). And that figure includes the spire, which you obviously can't factor into the floor height or floor count. The roof height is 172m (564ft). Which makes it 3.51m per floor. That puts it right in line with buildings like Aura & ICE at 3.49m. Plus 14 floors of office space is quite significant; http://www.altusinsite.com/files/filelib/spaces/714568/photo/1.jpg
Hmmm, then I have no idea. I thought it was Altus for sure.

I would agree with this. Not even Toronto comes close. Montreal is gorgeous at night, that's one of the many reasons I love the city. T minus two and a half weeks until I am there
