This is crazy. Everything you wrote describes you. You're the immature and insecurity one by getting all dramatic over someone being critical of architecture in the city and the Ice District development. There's still so much potential and it's slowly being squandered like other cities already have. Do you also flip out on the many forumers over at connect2edmonton as critical of development in Edmonton or is it because my location happens to say Toronto (plus more)? Grow up.
95% of what you post on here is verbal diarrhea or troll attemps , but every circus clown needs an audience , so by all means catty on .

That is certainly enough, Sky. You can move on. The graphic posted was fluff and of local interest more than the national interest which this thread is for.

Great shot. Really shows off Edmonton's density (aided a bit by topography).

As a side note (and not a criticism), but are these the two most construction-photographed towers in the history of SSP Canada?

I think so. Though it could just be the most non-Toronto related project updates in SSP history. Can you imagine what it will be like if Winnipeg gets a 200m tower?!

Off in the distance I'm not sure if it's the one on the left or right in the Humber cluster.

That made me laugh....I was just going to post that if we were building a 250 m tower I would be posting pictures of every crane lift.
