LOL. funny. But dead wrong. The vertical rise of tunnel mountain is but a fraction of Mt. Iberville. why not check out the facts?

The Tibetan plateau is higher than almost every mountain in Canada. This alone does not make the plateau a mountain.

I worked at the Tunnel mountain resort a couple of years back. Tunnel mountain is pretty much the average laurentian mountain. And speaking of this, the St.Elias moutains have a more important vertical drop than mount Everest.

Says the one who made an entire thread bitching and complaining because Toronto is building moooorreeee.

[Chadillaccc]

I wasn't bitching and complaining, I was wanting to see what other cities were building. As were a lot of other people.


Who the fuck are you? You think we will stop using this thread because you want us to? haha. You're just some wannabe cyber-bully. Get a life kid.

Except there ARE other threads to see what other cities are building.. You made this thread to purposely exclude one specific Canadian city..

No matter how much you people want it to, neither Toronto or its relevance is going away.

The only reason you aren't getting more opposition to your threads of exclusion is because of the widespread anti-Toronto ism that exists in this section.

Get rid of your inferiority complex buddy.

[Chadillaccc]

I lived in Toronto for school and grew up near there my entire life. Why would anyone have an inferiority complex towards Toronto?

Vancouver is a much more impressive city than Toronto architecturally, environmentally, and culturally. Our transit system is even more extensive and we have 4 million less people than you, plus we're building more transit! and if you'd like some evidence that our culture is better, look at yourself. You're so bitter about what? Someone making a list that you don't like? That is very typical. The only thing Toronto has more of is money, which we're fine without, because greed turns people bitter, like you.


And yes, there are other threads to see what the other cities are building. But none as coherent as this one. All it takes is one quick look and you know what 5 major cities are building. Instead of 1 (two if you include the 1 building in Calgary).


So again, you're not anybody. Why would we stop using this thread solely because you want us to?

[Biff]

Whoa, whoa you guys. Slow down. I want to get something to eat and don't want to miss anything.

Technically this thread exculdes more than one. Though he may have only wanted to exclude Toronto. This thread excludes: Ajax, Aurora, Brampton, Bolton, Halton Hills (Georgetown), King City, Markham, Milton, Missisauga, Newmarket, Pickering, Richmond Hill, and Vaughan.

I think that most of these cities need more attention. I barely know any construction projects in the GTA other than Toronto or Mississauga.

If he wanted to not see the Toronto construction projects, then why would you exclude every city in the GTA. I'm sure not many people on this forum can name construction projects in the GTA other than ones in Mississauga and Toronto.

[Chadillaccc]

none of those cities have anything in the top 10 tallest U\C list nor will they for a long while.

[Dwils01]

That is true but cities in the york region are starting to build some taller buildings. I'm sure if the Markham plan comes to fruition, then there might be one that could make it one this list, also you can't count out Vaughan, Richmond Hill or Brampton. But at the moment I believe the thread is fine.

Sorry to cause a little argument. I just thought that other cities in the GTA should be included if they have a building under construction that could make it onto the top ten list.

Whoops, you are right. Sorry bout that. The vertical rise of iberville is 1367m.....tunnel is only 305m...lol.....FAIL.

[Innsertnamehere]

why can't the city vs. city just stop?? both cities are awesome! Toronto and Vancouver have very different feels. just shut-up, both of you, listen to yourselves.

anyways, how tall is expo city in Vaughan? it might be tall enough to count.

[kw5150]

Um, for the record, I like this thread. It brings to attention to the developments OUTSIDE of Toronto and weighs them against each other. There were developments in Vancouver that I didn't even know about, and it is neat to see a little bit of canadian competition in our own "category."

No one is leaving Toronto out, we just cant compete. Thanks to whoever started this thread!

[Travis007]

More than half of this thread is filled with arguments and/or mountains, LOL. We need less of this nonsense and more updates on beauties like The Georgia and The Mark. Plz

[mr.sandbag]

where are the moderators.... again why not 4 sections labeled as such. with threads for individual buildings and a compilation of buildings ordered by height where all buildings are listed

1. Skyscrapers 200+m U/C
> Skyscrapers 200+m U/C List
2. Proposed Skyscrapers 200+
> Proposed Skyscrapers 200+ List
3. Highrises 100 - 199m U/C
> Highrises 100 - 199m U/C List
4. Proposed Highrises 100 - 199m
> Proposed Highrises 100 - 199m List


Add building as they come online, who cares if we reach 50 in the highrise section, no more egos, no more city vs city.

more buildings to look at, no one left out... win, win, win, win etc.

Toronto, Vancouver, what difference does it make? Montreal is the coolest big city in Canada anyways.

[feepa]

none of the photos on the first post have credits? Does the OP have no respect for this forum and its rules?

I agree this makes the most sense.
