I was thinking that too.

That Toronto sunset pic is amazing, almost didn't even see the skyline!

Tabletop skyline? Oh, please no!

Calgary needs to build the first megatall in Canada!

Come on, you guys are loaded, please give us Canada's first megatall

Calgary's GDP: US$97.9 billion, per capita: US$69,826
Dubai's GDP: US$82.9 billion, per capita: US$24,866

Unfortunately Telus Sky will be about the same height as Suncor, the Bow, EAP and Brookfield (all within about 30m in height of eachother) which will only reinforce that effect. From the east and west it won't look that way though...

Don't worry. The skyline has a long way to go in becoming a table top skyline. It isn't the worst thing either. See those Asian skylines with one or tall supertalls/ megatalls surrounded by short high rises for the worst looking skylines.
