Edmonton has lost a little bit of ground to Calgary (population wise) over the last 5 or so years, but not much, If I recall it's kept a close pace.
As far as the original subject of skylines, Edmonton's skyline is actually above normal for its population. Compare it other cities with similar or larger populations (Buffalo, SLC, Louisville, San Antonio etc.. ) and it's got a much larger skyline.
Edit: just for kicks I looked up the population growth of Edm and Cgy over the last five years, and it is indeed what I thought, pretty close, with Calgary having a slight edge.
