haha agreed! All of the designs for it have been terrible. But you have to admit, it is a pretty interesting building.

Let's all hope and pray it doesn't. It looks just awful.
Agreed. It's quite the difference between the two Edmonton proposals up there (Manulife II, #9 and Urbia, #10). Thankfully, Urbia likely won't happen, and Manulife II appears as though it likely will.
Of course Manulife will happen. It's being backed by the largest company in Canada. I've always imagined what kind of damage they could do in Toronto if they put their mind to it. A supertall at the bear minimum.

That would be insane! When will Toronto get a supertall? it makes me sad that Canada doesn't have one

21 and 22. Palliser Square (Calgary): 2x 118m/ 387ft
Look at us! We're celebrating the novelty of the Calgary Tower by creating a "gateway" (ie: cheap out by flaking it with twin towers right out of the suburbs)
I wish they would demo the Calgary tower and rebuild it with state-of-the-art hypermodernist architecture but keep the form similar to the current design. Rebuild it with a grand plaza/complex around it

What's the point of having a fake tallest buildings in the country thread, when most of these buildings aren't even close to it. The proposal in Dartmouth is more exciting than half the buildings on this list, but noo it's not tall enough for this arbitrary cut-off...
I'll add honorable mentions then Let's just chill guys...
