What was the point of posting that? Just to prove that Edmonton has a taller building than Calgary? The perspective on Stantec totally distorts the difference to look way bigger than it actually is too. It's 4 meters taller. Not even noticeable with the naked eye.

Thanks for posting that again. It's perfect. I cannot wait for some Edmontonian's vain attempts to convince me Stantec is third only to FCP and the CN Tower in Toronto.

Coldrsx · #**5325** Posted **May 23, 2018, 4:07 PM**

Clearly it is for comparison only, if not, we 5/9 tallest in the country.

Come on now.

You'd be surprised.

Whippersnapper, keeping it real on SSP. Lol

Anyways, soon that list will have to make an adjustment for One Bloor. (West, not the East - which is also, still pretty tall and should also be on the list)

The pour making Stantec our new tallest at 197m, 54m to go.

There are at least 18 buildings (based on the drawings) in Calgary that have been completely left out of this list between the Bow in Calgary and Epcor in Edmonton that are taller than 149 meters.

Black Star · #**5334** Posted **May 24, 2018, 1:16 AM**

Totally inaccurate scale..Very odd.

Nice updates all around! And an interesting graphic from Global News haha.

The point of it was a comparison to much taller in Toronto and other Edmonton towers other than the two tallest in Calgary that will be surpassed

You guys need to relax. See the source? Global Edmonton. This is for a local tv audience to show comparison of stantac

giallo · #**5338** Posted **May 24, 2018, 3:42 AM**

My main issue with that graph is its title; "Canada's Tallest Buildings"

Bad title, and an odd graphic, no matter who its catering to.

Agree. Media do that sort of stuff all the time. People are getting their nose all out of joint for nothing.
