Sunny Isles Beach is much taller than Mississauga. I'd also throw in Jersey City which is definitely taller but isn't as clear a suburb.

Buckhead (Atlanta) has a skyline on par with the Missing Sausage.

The Scarborough skyline with Leaside in the foreground. I expect that skyline to beef up now the subway is on its way there.

As it stands now Scarborough has the fourth best skyline in the suburban GTA, however Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan have plans to overtake it.

Nice shots. The first one (and probably the second) are actually taken from around Highgate, which is the next skyline to the east of Metrotown in Burnaby.

I believe that BC has the highest cranberry production in Canada, and contributes a sizable amount of North America's overall cranberry production too. The cranberry industry seems to be overshadowed here by the blueberry industry though, and I imagine that is one of the reasons why cranberry production is not often equated with BC.

Yes, BC is the second largest producer of cranberries in Canada after Quebec.

Quebec is supposed to be the third largest cranberry producer in North America behind Wisconsin and Massachussets. I couldn't find information about BC but I think it is not far behind. Strangely enough I have never seen a cranberry field in Quebec.

The cranberry fields in Quebec are situated mostly in the Centre-du-Québec (Bois-Francs) region, in St-Louis de blandford. Quebec is now the 2nd largest producer in the world.
