Damn Halifax is out of the running for this one (for now).

I've been up the CN Tower though before and I really enjoyed it.

During the day: 1 King Street West

During the night: Place Ville-Marie with it's rotating beacon on the rooftop. It looks spectacular and it really is. You can notice it from 50 km.
1000 rue de la Gauchetiere is also beautiful at night.

Call me crazy but after Commerce Court North, my favorite Canadian skyscraper is First Canadian Place. It is so elegant and graceful, yet efficient and functional. It makes no pretensions or shows no delusion of grandeur. I just love it.

I think that as a whole, Toronto has the best skyscraper architecture in Canada.

^(To Nicko999's post) I take it you guys don't have any lighting by-laws.

I could of swore I posted this before but my favourite probably is the CN Tower. It also is the only 100m+ building I've been in before.

The CN tower is the only 100m+ building you have seen before? Did you not notice the dozens of other 100m+ buildings across the street from it?
