not very exciting and a tad-generic, but not a bad building. Beats the Longueuil shop of horrors.

I guess the sordid combination of Harper and Nickelback is too much for most viewers to bear.

What is more uglier than Les Terrasses de la Chaudière with it's flu-inducing ductwork and barf-encouraging blockiness?

I have added a bikini butt to make it tolerable.

My guess is because it's short and fat. I can bet you whatever that if this building was 20 floors taller, it would be one of everyone's favourites.

^ Probably. I like the building but the proportions make it look too short and fat.

Same with London at Heritage maybe? And the towers near Southland Station?
Well for the centre of the SW this is the largest and most conspicuous. It's like that fat ugly guy in a red speedo at the beach you can't help seeing no matter how hard you try.

Yeah, and I got thinking about it a bit more. I guess technically Suncor Energy Centre is the tallest in the SW, but I am pretty sure that isn't what you were looking for either

Because MolsonExport so loves to point out the fact that Stephen Harper and Chad Kroeger are from Alberta, just thought I'd throw down with this beauty from Montreal!
