Since 1999, SkyscraperPage.com's forum has been one of the most active skyscraper enthusiast communities on the web. The global membership discusses development news and construction activity on projects from around the world, alongside discussions on urban design, architecture, transportation and many other topics. SkyscraperPage.com also features unique skyscraper diagrams, a database of construction activity, and publishes popular skyscraper posters.
Toronto also still has a pretty nice 1950's-era Bank of NS office tower.
The building in Halifax is great but it is difficult to photograph because of the narrow streets. It's also got a lot of detailing that sometimes gets lost:
The only building that (literally) stands a chance next to Toronto's Scotia Plaza is the adjacent Bank of Nova Scotia Building, built in the art deco style in 1951 (using designs from the 1920s which had been shelved):
Toronto - epic win
Vancouver - would look awesome with a white and black glass reclad (like FCP)
Winnipeg - classic
Montreal - pretty nice
Edmonton - the colour is kind of funky and abnormal, I like.

Vancouver's has always been one of my favourite Vancouver Towers, though it would be nice if it was cleaned up....
Saying that, cannot deny that Toronto's has always been one of my Favourite towers ever built in this Country and my hands down favourite bank tower in the Country!

I've always loved the Vancouver tower, very jarring, very confident looking tower.
The Montreal one is nice, and surprisingly large considering scotia bank must have small operations in the province. In fact, none of the big 5 are particularly relevent it seems, with national bank dominating the province along with desjardins and laurentien.
I'd like to see some stats, like does anyone in Quebec actually have a CIBC account?

I do have my main account at CIBC, along with one at Banque Nationale. However, i opened it mainly because it was the bank in the same building as my old job, thus was more convenient to go than National Bank.
Toronto
Vancouver, because it was in Battlestar Galactica!
Calgary.....because it is second tallest in country and has a clever mall going through it.
Montreal.....it's so "montreal"
Edmonton
St John

Also: Scotiabank, along with TD are the only two banks with a dominant "tower" presence in St. John's. All the rest occupy 2-3 storey buildings along Water Street (albeit these tiny buildings are architecturally stunning in comparison)
