I saw this thread for the U.S, so thought I might as well start one for Canada. So, what are the most dreadful towers/skyscrapers in your city? Please post pictures along with your nominees.

For Montreal:
SNC-Lavalin headquarters

The London (boring one in Ontario) Courthouse.

That giant hotdog stand building (max bull ctr) is going to look horribly dated within a few years. Screamingly early twenty-tens-style.

I took this photo in 2008.

I drove by here yesterday and this place still looks exactly the same... I'm not shitting you.

Wow.

I think that was designed so criminals would be less likely to re-offend, no way they want to come back to THAT monstrosity.

There is a TV and VCR repair shop in Forest Lawn in Calgary I've been meaning to take a picture of. It is still open and running. VCR repair...

Is this not the same as the Ugly Canada thread? I think the 2 could be merged.

The Laval clock tower... and no I won't post pictures, it's too ugly.

Agreed. There are enough active threads in the Canada section as is, we certainly dont need two of the same.

That said keep posting these abominations!

Why bother with Europe at all when you've got Quarry Park Market? Where's my baguette.

1989 called, they want their PoMo back

I don't know why, but I feel like this building looks like a transformer.

This made me laugh. Saw it on Facebook. Though you could almost substitute Calgary (especially for Truck Balls and snow 10 months a year). We're not stuck in the 80's though.
