First Canadian Place is getting cocky, being the tallest for 40 years.

Time for a new king.

Ice is on York* St, that looks like it's from further west (Simcoe?).

EDIT: Nevermind, that looks like the top of Maple Leaf Square in the foreground, so probably Ice.

First Canadian Place will still be the king even if of the new 300+ meter proposals are built. The girth of the building, the antenna, and just the fcp complex in general is massive. No new building will be as dominating in the skyline as fcp unless a skyscraper in Toronto comes along thats 330+ meters tall. I am still super excited though for the supertalls in Toronto that are coming!

That is a really cool shot of the Peg. At first I didn't recognize her.

many non SSPers would never guess that was a city (way up north) with less than 20,000.
