Speaking of delusions: in a decade you'll
still recognize the Toronto skyline, no problem. There's this little thing called the CN tower. There's the distinctive shapes of the Skydome (or whatever they're calling it these days) and Roy Thomson Hall. The ever-evolving aggregate impression that is the skyline is just going to be that much more built up and variegated. But it's not as if Toronto is going to change into some wondrous magic kingdom - no matter what timeline one, in a delirious fit of fanciful imagination, applies to it.
When the Chrysler Building and the Empire State building were just nothing more than a crisp set of blueprints and a few artistic illustrations, no doubt there were locals who busied themselves fretting that the New York skyline would soon be unrecognizable. It didn't happen. New York just became more like itself.
