What? No. It's Montreal, Winnipeg, then Hamilton for best skylines in Canada. With QC grabbing slot #4. Montreal has the best overall blend of shape, scale, geography, architecture, etc. Winnipeg is close on shape and architecture, as well as not to bad on scale. Hamilton and QC both got for a unique jagged sparcity, but my home town pride and preference for residential puts Hamilton just a little ahead (the Piggott Building is no Chateau Laurier, but helps balance the depth of history). After that I'm less certain. I mean Toronto wins scale hands-down, but the overall shape needs some work. Calgary has shape and scale solid, but just a little busy. Vancouver probably grabs my #5.

I guess. But there are certainly also many other skylines in North America. Denver, Boston, Oklahoma City, Halifax... the list goes on.

Brookfield Place really starting to pop into the skyline. To think by this time next year Telus Sky will be poking its head above a building or two near it

I.e, it is a skyline, it looks North American which it is, WOW lol
Pretty sure that's what he meant, not one of the best. Not to say I don't like it but that's irrelevant.

It's indeed true that it does look more like the average North American skyline than most Canadian cities do, the mix of towers being more corporate and less highrise condo. (That's a compliment, BTW.)
