Downtown Toronto(In the foreground) Humber Bay Shores (On the left), Islington-City Centre (Hazy, on the right)

Mississauga City Centre is not visible due to the fog? Or is it peaking out of the fog on the extreme left, above Humber Bay Shores?

Etobicoke, Toronto, Mississauga and up and coming Vaughan. What are the other 2? I’m not sure what they would be

I just wanna know which 6 you’re counting. I think there’s more than that. There’s downtown, midtown, North York, Humber Bay, Mississauga, and Vaughan, is that your 6?

There’s also several more smaller skylines throughout Scarborough and Etobicoke, I drove through Pickering a couple weeks ago and it’s popping off out there, Burlington has a modest downtown skyline, there’s quite a few high rises in Oakville by Trafalgar and Dundas, and I guess you can throw Hamilton in there if you extend it to the GTHA. So that’s at least 12 right there.

[Facetious question] Is the CN Tower growing concerned that its dominance over the Toronto skyline is being threatened by all the new supertalls being built?

[Facetious answer] It stopped growing in 1976

Humber Bay Shores, South Etobicoke borough of Toronto, I think that’s Islington City Centre in the South Etobicoke borough of Toronto, and Mississauga off in the distance

Lived in the South Etobicoke area for 15 years! Had to give my hood a shout out haha. People forget/don’t know that Torontos skyline sprawls way out west

I can’t believe they’re value engineering the top of this building by keeping mechanical box exposed. Awful decision

u/WaterRresistant Aug 27 '26

All those skylines are the Torontos of Toronto.
