I'm assuming Toronto because the rest of your post is... but I don't recognize this. What part??? I feel like I see the Imperial Oil building so this must be St Claire ave?

Yup that's the Imperial Oil building - now converted (sloppily) to condos. It's looking East on St Clair. I think the intersection at the bottom is Russell Hill.
Palais de justice kinda wrecks any shot from that angle, in my opinion. Plus, I've got a bit of a beef with it 'cause I had to waste a couple days of my life within its halls, waiting, then waiting some more for jury duty. Eventually, I wasn't selected, much to my chagrin. It was a homicide/drug deal gone bad.

The other thing, I think, is that English-speaking Canadians have a peculiar horror of provincialism, or seeming provincial. I think this is because we internalized a lot of that frontier/periphery feeling from our country's early history and are very eager to show the world that it no longer applies. There is this real hunger to appear up-to-the-minute.
Of the people I was thinking of specifically, only one (out of three) was both Anglo and Canadian. I honestly only have a vague sense of what makes a city "provincial" - I can't think of any examples really.
You know, just when you start to think Toronto's getting some real heft, some real bulk, even gravitas, you see a shot from New York and, well, you regain some perspective.
