Place Bonaventure may be ugly, but it's a Montreal (and canadian) landmark and one of the biggest buildings anywhere in this country. It ain't going anywhere anytime soon.
What really needs to go though is that horrendous Gare Centrale Parking garage right across the street on gauchetiere. I mean, this is our main train train station's entrance. Seriously a giant embarrassment. Like honestly, what in the fuck were they thinking in the 60's?

I propose they tear it down and replace it with a "terminus tower" of sorts that will include a beautiful Gare Central entrance along with parking garages, offices and perhaps a hotel. Make it the city's signature tower at 250m. It would also fix the issue of the huge skyline gap caused by Place Bonaventure.
