I don't know if Ottawa has a suburban skyline, but Ottawa has many clusters of highrise apartment blocks dotted around the suburbs. When you come in to the city from the west along the 417, which is situated on a bit of a ridge, you get a good view of it all.
Toronto and Ottawa are the commie block kings, but most of Ontario's midsized cities have clusters of apartment towers from the 60s and 70s in their inner suburban areas. Even my small hometown of Peterborough has at least two (
1,
2), even though the buildings there are 8-10 storeys, rather than 20-30.
