Saint John > New-Brunswick

It really does have a nice skyline. Nice, neat and compact. What Sherbrooke could have become.

[KnoxfordGuy]

Gotta love Saint John!

[SignalHillHiker]

So nice. I love Uptown Saint John.

Sherbrooke is really a shame when compared to other Canadian cities of the same size (St. John's and Regina)...

Also: I love Saint John.

St. John's and Regina both benefit from being provincial capitals. They also don't have provincial counterparts that dwarf them (à la Montreal in Sherbrooke's case).

[SignalHillHiker]

And St. John's also benefits from history and isolation. The nearest city our size or larger, Halifax, is a 1,500 km drive away. It's no harder to get to anywhere else in the world than to our nearest neighbour. Everything we need to supply at least 350,000 of Newfoundland's people has to be in our region.

I was actually also going to mention isolation for both places too as compared to Eastern Canadian cities, Western Canadian centres are also very isolated, though not to the extent St. John's is.

Saint John, NB is beautiful. I would love to live in the Atlantic region one day.

So nice to see some of the other cities in Alberta, they look like they're also enjoying the boom in the province.

[Chadillaccc]

The skylines of Fort Mac and Red Deer have both benfited from the boom, but no noticeably tall buildings have been built in Lethbridge or Medicine Hat in like 30 years unfortunately.

..here's another one to add to the Alberta cities
Grande Prairie (55,000)

[Chadillaccc]

I was going to add Grande Prairie but couldn't find a decent pic of it. That one is quite nice! Thanks Saskscraper!

I even tried to find a pic of Lloydminster as a dual AB/SK city representation but couldn't find anything

[Chadillaccc]

Thanks for your efforts! I was gonna do a repost of it for the first post of the next page with Grande Prairie included!

[Chadillaccc]

Sask has a few smaller skylines like Moose Jaw and Prince Albert, you should post them up!
