Great shot!

Winnipeg has some serious solid bones. Can't wait to see it boom. Would also be nice to have a large city in central Canada.

Canada's population is going to keep growing due to immigration, no doubt about it.
May take a long time, but we might have 50 million one day.
I expect Alberta to continue to boom the most and eventually overtake BC in population, even with all the immigration to BC.

Hey guys, remember to credit the photos you post. Flickr makes it easy by giving you a template that you can use.

It really is only a matter of time. In the long run, it's hard for one city to compete with two, no matter the headstart.

I was talking with my bf today on our way home from Banff and wondering if they would ever turn the TransCanada into a 6-lane highway between Winnipeg and Calgary. As the west will probably double in population over the next 50 years (hopefully less), it was more of just a thought provoking "is it possible?" question. He thinks no, and that it isn't necessary. I agreed that all we need to do is really grade-separate the main highway completely, using overpasses and off/on-ramps and create bypasses (such as the Calgary Ring Road [Stoney Trail]) around the large cities. I just think it would be cool to have a 401-type superhighway out here. I feel like a Calgary at 2.3 million, a Regina at 500 000, and a Winnipeg at 1.5 million (all doubled from their current populations theoretically by 2050) might be able to support that, as would the half-dozen or so tier 2 cities coming close to 100 000 - 200 000 people or more by that time along or near the TransCanada corridor (Med Hat, Lethbridge, Moose Jaw, Brandon, etc.)...

Aura and Residences at RCMI stretching the skyline north:

CityPlace adds a splash of colour at night:

That first view is going to be incredible with Aura completed. Even better will be once Massey Tower is done!

[isaidso]

Don't forget the 220m rental building proposed for the northwest corner of Yonge and Queen.

[Ramako]

Also don't forget the Icon (480 University), which will appear just as tall as Massey Tower or 2 Queen West from that angle. It would be between Aura and Residences at RCMI.

Awesome!

^that Toronto pic on the lake is gorgeous. That's my favorite skyline shot of the city, Toronto's money shot. I can't wait until Cityplace Signature towers go up, and Harbour Plaza towers/ One York, and Ten York and possibly Mirvish and Oxford proposals one day. Still so much height coming to this view!
