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.
Snapped this walking back from the grocery store about 20 min ago…

A rarely seen angle of Montreal. For a split second I thought it was Vancouver or something. Then I saw the commie slab on the right hand side and that gave it away. Not a dig at Montreal by any means but I can't recall seeing those types of wide footprint buildings in Van. Obviously PVM, Tour de la Bourse and Le 1000 de la Gauchetiere as well. It's a testament to all the new towers Montreal is building that I no longer instantly see those landmarks.

Curious, with all the new height out there, is it possible to see the Kitchener Skyline from the CN Tower? The math on the general earth curvature seems to say yes, but I'm not sure about topography and atmospheric conditions and such.
What proportion of Canada's navy is featured in these shots?

What proportion of Canada's navy is featured in these shots?
Around 15% of the primary (non-support/auxiliary) active fleet. Support vessels are things like tugs or fire boats.
We certainly don't have the WWI/II size fleets around anymore. We probably had twice as many mine-sweepers for both those wars than we do boats in total today.

Towards the end of WW2, I believe Canada had the third largest navy in the world.
We still had an aircraft carrier as late as the 1970s
