Nice Montreal shots.
As for London, there is a bit of disagreement whether the proposed tower (33 storeys) would be just a tad higher or a few metres shorter than 1LP (current tallest). It is still up in the air, and it really does not matter anyhow. The likelihood of this tower going forward is very high.
We hold our own for skyline power, relative to our size. This applies to Montreal as well, although it makes up in quality for a relative lack of quantity (an argument I would also apply to Quebec City). I think Regina punches well above its weight, as does Halifax and Vancouver (of course, Calgary is simply peerless in this regard). KW is way below expectations. Ottawa disappoints, although it has urban canyons aplenty (just too many unimaginative blue glass buildings from the late seventies and early eighties). Hamilton....well the skyline hasn't changed much but it is about what you would expect for a city its size. Edmonton surprisingly has not had as much infill relative to the population expansion, but there are signs that this is changing. I suppose this observation might apply as well to Winnipeg.
Toronto is the king of Canadian skylines. The only world-class skyline in Canada.
