I voted Vancouver because its a classic art deco piece but it's by no means the best one. It's too subjective. I used to like toronto's but I finally got to are it saw for real recently and it really is interesting but boy, is it ugly. Vancouver, Montreal and Quebec city have by far the best ones.

Montreal. It just screams classic Old-World beauty.

I think Regina's looks better at night... when the top lights up:

Although I think it's a nice city hall, I'm much more of a fan of the older architecture that Sherbrooke, Quebec City, and Montreal provide.

In terms of the lesser knowns, Halifax, Charlottetown, and Victoria are quite nice.

We have so many different styles represented it's really hard to decide one winner. Overal I went with Vancouver because I'm a total sucker for art deco. I'm a really big fan of Toronto's too, though. I wish it would get a good clean up.

I love Vancouver deco, Hamilton modern, Montréal historic. Also Halifax, Sherbrooke, Kingston, QC, Toronto (old). The current Toronto City Hall looks cool from the front but it's hideous from the side or rear. Wear eye protection if you're standing at Bay and Dundas!

I don't know even from Bay and Dundas it looks a hell a lot better than Missy's town hall imo.

I was there in November, we we went inside looking for information. There are a ton of beautiful buildings in Fredericton and downtown is a free wi-fi zone. Cool city!

Fredericton has always been my favourite NB city. Clean, beautiful and stately.

Uhhhh, a pyramid! It must sit on a ley line. In fact it's probably the same ley line that joins up with the Manitoba Legislature.

I am shocked and appalled by the lackluster votes in quebecs defense. A glorious building. And 8 votes for Hamilton really? You find hundreds of buildings just as shitty in several Canadian office parks...

You've lost your damned mind, Rico.

here's an older pic of the "Old City Hall" and new "Municipal Building" in Calgary. I sort of want to include both as "City Hall" since they're both as a pair still used for city government.

Of course the 'old' city hall is actually Calgary's 2nd city hall, here's a photo showing the original one.
As you can see we have a long history of building replacement city halls behind the previous ones..
