From the right angles Hamilton's inner city bones with Toronto's sea of highrises can give the impression of a truly massive city.

Toronto is NYC. Hamilton is Newark but without the airport.

Thankfully we are back to skylines (sort of).
We don't care about the nationality traits/generalizations discussion in the skyline thread.

Amen. That was probably the most boring sequence this thread has known.

I dunno... I love skylines and all but Canada only has a finite number of large cities with skylines. I still come on here to see pics of them and different angles, but to qualify the OT discussion as boring? More than the XXXXth picture of the skyline of whatever Canadaville we have a fetish about?

^Just my own personal opinion buddy. I personally found it trite and boring. But you do make a good point, about the potential for Canadian skylines being finite.

Very nice Québec. The only city that doesn't need to have a tall, dense financial district to look spectacular.

WTF!? I've been to Québec City 3 times in my life, seen skyline pictures hundreds of times yet I've never noticed the Banque national tower until now.
