Agreed. Windsor has a decent skyline that can compare with the cities you mentioned (minus Halifax and Victoria though imo). I like the Casino towers, which are better than some of the crap in Niagara Falls. They certainly add some great height and style. I also really like your chrysler building. It's quite sharp looking.
As for the fact that not much has been built downtown in the last 20 years, I wouldn't be too worried. Sure, London has built recently, and continues to build residential towers downtown, but have you seen what they look like?

Hopefully downtown Windsor can reinvigorate iteslf (a process that London is still desperately working towards, despite the presence of these buildings) with the help of some nice, glassy and well integrated low and highrise buildings!
Just a thought, eh?
