Hamilton is probably the best city under a million around for skyline lovers.

Winnipeg has a far better skyline than Hamilton IMO.

Actually I can think of another city under a million at least equal or better than both.

lol, I'd like some of what you've been smoking...

Hamilton's skyline is gross...commie block capital of Canada, with a few brutalist and industrial monoliths thrown in. I don't dislike Hamilton, but the skyline isn't one of its attractions.

Winnipeg and Quebec City are better. Even Kingston has a more attractive skyline IMHO.

I wholeheartedly agree with ur comment. I even like Victoria's Skyline more than Hamilton's tbh. (& Victoria's doesn't really start or end anywhere either). But IMO Nothing hold's a Candle to Saskatoon. It's skyline is terrific IMO for anything in this Country under Half a Million. (I even like it better than Halifax).

Saskatoon? I think Halifax, London and Regina have much better skylines! I do like that old hotel in Saskatoon though, it really adds something to it's rather mundane, commie block skyline.

Halifax is close but there's just something about Saskatoon's Skyline that I love! I love it's length & It's not too tall a Skyline!
(Kind of like a Mini Vancouver, minus the Condo's). I love Long Skyline's & that's why I like both Saskatoon & Vancouver alot.
(Same with Toronto). But especially with Smaller Cities I like when they have length as opposed to height. Bulk doesn't impress
me with a Smaller Centre. (It's another reason why Benidorm Spain is phenomenal no?)
London has Height but it's Skyline isn't nearly as long as Saskatoon's so there's less to look @. It's a better Urban Planning Style too IMO because
overtime as Mid-Sized Cities grow they start to add height also which makes the Skyline all the much more impressive with that much needed
oomp added to it. It's also less impactful to demolish an Old Scraper for a bigger one in the Future because of Density purposes/ zoning.
Halifax is close but it benefit's moreso because of the water, without the water it wouldn't look nearly as good as it does!



Now all Saskatoon need's in the future is height. (Which it will likely eventually get).

Halifax for some context. I prefer Halifax because there is more variety in the construction of its buildings.

I've loved those Purdy's Wharf buildings right on the water since I was a kid.

There's just something about Halifax too. When you are on the peninsula you feel like you are in a huge metropolis. That city has character, and a kick ass food scene.
