The CN Tower is indeed very iconic, but Chicago has the Willis Tower and the John Hancock (plus the very impressive Trump Tower) which makes the city recognizable. Again, I'm not trying to bring down Toronto, but it won't be equal or bigger than Chicago until it gets two or three supertalls. TO can be included in that conversation though, which really is a compliment to the city's skyline.
Let's compare both skylines (future TO with current Chicago)
Toronto 2020:
Chicago 2014:
Don't forget that Chicago will keep building a few 200m+ towers until 2020.
