Wow....lovely Vancouver photo! ^

Nice Montreal photo with that squirrel too haha.

Great Edmonton, Halifax and Quebec City photos as well, we've really developed a diverse array of skylines in our country

It would be a shame if Quebec City marred its picturesque cityscape with skyscrapers.

That building with the saucer on top makes me irrationally angry every time I see it. It’s so absurd.

I have to agree. Your irrational anger is so absurd.

i kinda like that saucer building in Vancouver.. it isn't by any means an attractive building but it's a landmark for the city.. it's definitely grown on me.

I like it. I remember family friends visiting from the Southern US in the late Seventies, they said they saw that building (Harbour Centre) and felt they were visiting the City of the Future. Yes, there is something inherently absurd about revolving restaurants, but they are every bit as a symbol of humankinds' "look what we can do" chutzpah as today's de rigeur twisting and jenga towers.
