That last shot in Vancouver is pretty intense, I count 12 in it alone.

Calgary has 56 up across the entire city, most on a single site is 5 currently (Centennial Place), and the Bow will have 5 eventually as well, currently two there. Bow also has the largest crane in the city, we believe its the largest luffing model that Potain makes (roughly 70k lbs max capacity). Its probably a good hundred feet above street level, and the base of it is 65 feet below the street, making it look quite impressive.
