REFRAIN FROM ALL CONTACT WITH ME

Lol nice spin, but the practical rationale is that the Canada threads have been made to be very height-centric so Vancouver projects are disqualified from most of them, and towers like Kengo Kuma are buried amongst low-rise projects from Hamilton etc or more likely followed by "ok... So (insert timeless box from Toronto) is 155.4m or 154.5m!? Do we officially have 9363 towers over 155.2m?! "

Shit. Are you ever deluded.

1. I respond in kind. Your posts are the most condescending on the forum.
2. For the umpteenth time, No! You quoted me with your idiotic duck analogy. I'm not supposed to respond to that?!?

Stop blaming the mods. It's you and all you.

Spin? No, That's what you do. There's only three threads that place height over architecture and Vancouver has representation in 2 of them.

We also get more then enough post about your taste in architecture and urban planning in the Canadian forum

...Carrying the bulk of all traffic in the Canada section. How many active high rise threads place architecture over height? Zero lol. No one is avoiding the Canada forums like you suggest; participation is just proportional to the number of projects that can be shared where there is interest

I just noticed that the info for Tour des Canadiens 2 is left void on the first page. It will be 53 stories high and 168 meters.

I wonder if that includes mechanical, parapets, etc. That's more parking than I would have expected.

Will it have the team logo on top as well? I hope not.Also I alsways wonder why Maple Leaf Square never put a Leaf logo on top of one of their towers. The ACC is about to be completely hidden from view.
