I just looked at Longueuil on streetview. It has a nice street thats downtowny. As with most suburbs though, it seems to only have the one stretch of a street that looks urban. Also too bad those highrises are a bit further from the downtown and surrounded by highway/ramps.
Mohkínstsis — 1.6 million people at the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 400 high-rises, a 300-metre SE to NW climb, over 1000 kilometres of pathways, with 20% of the urban area as parkland.

Thanks! The whole West Line is gorgeous. The only station I'm not a fan of is 45th Street.

Not exactly suburban but these small skylines are outside of downtown Sault.
Old hospitals with two 10 floor apartments and a 9 floor apartment building in the bakground.

St Thomas, the Railroad Capital of Canada is sort of a suburb or London (in it's CMA)
What makes it the railroad capital?

At its peak St. Thomas was an influential railway centre. It acted as a central location for a series of prominent railways and served as the primary stop on the Canadian shortcut between Detroit and Buffalo. By 1914 more than 100 trains passed through St. Thomas each day earning it the title of "The Railway Capital of Canada".
The railway had a tremendous effect in the shaping of St. Thomas. It brought jobs which in turn brought prosperity and population growth. Today, St. Thomas’s 36,000 person population is a testament to the railway’s influence.
Various museums and monuments dedicated to railway heritage give visitors the opportunity to delve into St. Thomas’s storied past. Attractions such as the annual "Day Out With Thomas", and the Port Stanley Terminal Rail train ride, provide interactive fun for the whole family! A local craft brewery and multiple vibrant railway themed festivals and events are sure to delight visitors of all ages, and no trip to St. Thomas is complete without a visit to the Jumbo monument to see the most famous elephant that ever lived!
Yeah it is a nice city for sure. Most cities of that size, including Woodstock and Stratford, have their highrises outside of their downtowns, but St. Thomas has them right in the middle of the core. Makes it feel a bit bigger than it really is.
