Yes in that order!

This made me laugh! At least Newfoundland is consistent year to year. Also the most searched word in Quebec seems suspect...

I know the ski jumps are part of our Olympic history but I'd hate to live in one of these houses backing onto Canada Olympic Park. The jumps just look ugly now. Even more so from the back.

No!

Please don't let this blowhard become our Canadian Trump!

"You tell me when the herd will be culled ... and I'll tell you when I'm joining," he said.

Haha, wow, he sure has confidence in himself!

Hopefully him and Leitch cannibalize each other and allow a sane person to take the reins.

"Asked Monday about his ability to mount a ground game, O'Leary pointed to his reach on social media.

"It's a whole new ball game," he said. 'I talk directly to Canadians every day.'"

Looking forward to having a Canadian leader join Trump in the political Twitter revolution

Wouldn't there likely be more overlap between O'Leary and Bernier?

They all 🞵🞵🞵🞵. Let them eat each other. The next leader is just going to be a throwaway before 2023 anyway.

This beast near the Burrard St Bridge needs to be added.

I almost like it in a Judge Dredd / Paris ghetto kind of way. A shame it isn't placed among all the antiseptic green glass condos.

Which is being discussed? They are all rather unattractive but, not to the degree that they are worthy candidates for the thread

I'm guessing the rounded concrete one with the recessed balconies in the middle of the cluster.

It's typical to Vancouver where the floor plan abruptly changes near the top of the tower. I still see a lot of potential in that tower. Even a bit of paint would do wonders.

That bridge is kind of cute. Very casino entrance, but cute.

Nothing like institutional modernism to get you your fix of ugly.

The faux finish 'stacked stone' dosent do the building any favors either.

Not sure it's even deserving of an architectural genre or appellation.

Looks like a great place to get murdered though.

The round concrete beast, and trust me if you saw it with your own eyes it's more then worthy of being on this thread. On my way to the airport 10 days ago I remember seeing it and thinking I must remember to ad it to this list when I get a chance. It's just so dreary looking. The Judge Dread comment makes complete sense.
