Montreal is home to some of my favorite modern highrises in the country.

Le Château Champlain?

Calgary gets the coveted PER CAPITA () skyline award, no doubt.

Not so fast buckaroo, check out this dump, they even have a Trump tower

Montreal has a fine set of impressive hi-rise buildings, to dismiss those is simply silly. Either you have no taste in architecture, but more likely, you are simply being mean.

Yes even Le Château Champlain. It's different and pure 60's that's why I like it.

Why are you so argumentative? We just went through this last week, if you want to rehash it then go back and read those posts, don't keep starting —.

People say we have 1 signature tower and I say there are 5 in that shot alone. Suncor is less iconic with the Bow and EAP, but it's still a good looking building, and I love the colour of granite they chose for it, gives it a certain warmth.

I love the Chateau Champlain. It grates cheese even better than the Bow.

The Bow is a tribute to the celery.

Nice trolling.

I actually quite love Calgary's skyline.

If I had to rank a top 5 in Canada, I'd rank it as follows
1) Vancouver
2) Toronto (these two can reverse depending on the criteria)
3) Montreal
4) Calgary
5) Edmonton

Making a link to the Bow and celery is not a troll comment nor was it meant as an attact - esp. given the context of the conservation, taking about Chateau Champlain + grates cheese. It was for fun, so relax. and c'mon, you cannot deny that the Bow is shaped like a celery?

FYI, personally, I love the Bow. I find the design to be really impressive. am a big fan of the Bow, I think it is impressive and it reminds me a lot of Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt.

My favourite 60's building in Montreal, hell all of Canada is still Habitat 67. Hardly a high rise though.

The Bow to me is more of a half pipe I ride in my day dreams.

I love this photo.

You know, I used to think Halifax was one of the largest cities in Canada. Before the internet era (not that I am old,) I used to go through our set of britannica encyclopedia to look @ all the city photos, and I guess they had a very impressive set for Halifax.

My post was in response to the way you keep singling out my posts. I retract my trolling comment though.

[Ashok]

^ I am not picking (or trying to) on your posts... I am just reacting to everybody's post. And I appreciate you retracting your trolling comment.

Agreed fully.
