I agree what we need to invest in beautifying the country but disagree as to the era you take issue with. 2000-2020 represent an all time low in terms of overall design, architecture, and/or quality. 1970-2000 about 25-30% of what got built looks great. 2000-2020 that figure plummeted to about 10-15% of buildings. Of the last 200 high-rises Canada has built only about 20-30 of them I'd consider attractive. The rest range from forgettable to outright terrible.
I can't think of a single building in Burnaby 100m+ I'd want to keep.
