Thanks Chad nice to see u back.
Prior to me posting a Photo of Calgary on Page 192 of this Thread, you have to go all the way back to Page 184 Before another person
(Other than myself & that guy went by the name of: jakethesnake) posted a Photo of Calgary. (Basically a Span of about 3 weeks),
over the course of that time many, many Photo's of Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, & Even Hamilton where posted also.
This is why if it's not for me very, very few people actually post Photo's of Calgary on here & it's wrong that's why I say my contribution IS Valuable.

Tosin007... after you finish eating the HERO cookie you just gave yourself, think about the last few posts where others were extremely critical of your posts. You really need to stop doing what you just did yet again...

On Page 177 Someone Posted who goes by the name of "Brizzy82" posted a Photo of Winnipeg.
That was almost a Span of 1 Month before I finally started Posting Photo's of Winnipeg again, all the way on Page 197.
(Keep in mind it was even an Old Photo of Winnipeg & not one from 2017), So even longer than the Calgary Example.

Great shots Chadillac, Calgary looks absolutely beastly in them!

Tosin argue you all you want, but your spamfest didn't contribute meaningfully to this thread. I guarantee the majority of people who monitor this thread skimmed over all of those photos just like I did. At a glance they were mainly just over-edited shots from generic, common angles. Sorry but it is what it is

The number of people who actually care about a stat like that is approaching ZERO...

Yeah but it's Called the "Great Canadian Skyline Thread",
not the "sometimes we post Photo's of Montreal, Hamilton, Toronto, & Vancouver Thread".
EVERY Major Canadian City Count's & People in Calgary & Winnipeg DESERVE
to have their Cities Skyline's shown MORE FREQUENTLY on this Thread.
Otherwise what's the point right?

Alright then man.....just keep in mind that it's not like you saved the day bc you posted a Windsor or Winnipeg shot as your previous post hinted at, and koops mentioned. People post a city skyline whenever they feel it, and sometimes theirs a lul in postings of certain cities. Hell, I'm the main poster of the Mississauga skyline, and seemingly have been for a while. I post a skyline pic of that suburb once every few months, mostly because it seems redundant to post because I usually will have the same angle and the skyline isn't exactly pretty....

(Just saying...Mississauga feels too ugly to even post a skyline pic.....it's grotesque.)

Ok fair enough, u did make a good point sure, but I'm just saying some Cities don't get enough Exposure, Windsor is one of those Cities as well! I believe the last Person to share a Photo of Windsor in the High 190's was again myself somewhere in the Low 140's. (Not sure the exact page), but I know for a fact It was Me & it was MONTHS ago that another Photo of Windsor was shown/ shared. (& u know I value my contribution because Photo's of Windsor are very difficult to find online), especially NEW Ones. It's not a Canadian City that get's Photographed all too/ that often! Your even better off combing Detroit Threads/ Detroit Photographer's Images of Windsor. (If u want any newer/ updated Photo's of the City).

On that subject...I gotta feel bad for Windsor in some regard.....being next to Detroit and all. I wonder if Windsor ever had crime really strike the city partly because of gangs and crime in Detroit. Or if there is a larger amount of illicit drugs flowing through there. (No racism intended....just based on Detroit's rundown state)

Yeah but their still RECENT & they are beautiful Photo's look
@ the Flickr Account of ALL the User's I gave the Credit to.
(The coloring is even a bit different), not sure if that's an editing
feature some of the Photographer's used.
& even if they are GENERIC I know for a fact they haven't been shared
yet/ before because of the DATES in Which the Photo's where taken.
Are u calling me a liar? I comb other threads endlessly
too & also watch Skyscrapercity/ what they are doing on there.
Very Rarely do u see me sharing a Photo that came from
another Sites Archived Threads (Like this one).
& make sure if the Photo was taken on the EXACT same day,
then I share it! & I know that it hasn't/ couldn't have
been shared ANYWHERE before.
So what's ur point?
I don't even have to look @ what other's are sharing I know what I
am sharing is still brand new so who cares if u just want
to nitpick & don't like the angle? This thread is meant to be a thread
for archiving Photo's is it not? Sometimes I put those shots
here so that I can take a look @ them later or save them later
or use it as reference for other people. So YES their is a method to my
madness! Every Photograph Counts & every Photographer MATTERS
& has put hard work & effort into taking Skyline Shots for their
flickr accounts! Just because u think the ANGLES are the same
doesn't mean the Color, Picture Quality, Photographer, Time of the Day,
Date it was uploaded is the EXACT same cause it's NOT! All of these things
Matter when it goes into a Photo, never forget that!

Some posts in this thread are beyond readable. No insult intended, but...

It's unfortunate that so much power skimming is required here. Guess I'll just have to be patient and wait for pics that are worthy of a look.

It is "so dense", that neighbourhood has a population density over 10 000/km2, at 2.2 km2. Increasing in population at a rapid pace, sometimes around 1000 residents per year.

I think that's a bit low, as the population as of the 2016 municipal census was nearly 22 000 even. With Versus (around 450 units), Portfolio (200 ish units), Royal View East (200 ish units) and Aura II (150 ish units) all open now, I'd peg it at closer to 23 000, considering each of those towers is at least half full (except Versus West) at this time.

Oh wow really? Yeah but Calgary isn't growing that fast anymore is it?
I had no idea the Inner City still was. I was of the Impression that where only adding 7,000-8,000 People a year nowadays. Maybe the economy has recovered?
I think our population is just shy of 1.25 Million, but u might be right so we'll see I guess. How did u know the Occupancy Rates?

Does Hamilton really have more posts than Calgary? Because Calgary seems to usually be on here more than Vancouver and roughly as much as Montreal...
