Hurry up and find a parking because the gang is waiting for you on a terrasse in the vieux. Sylvia is anxious to talk to you guys about the government subvention she wants to get for the self-help seances she's gonna animate at the CEGEP.

BTW, I lean toward La Tour CIBC

Lol, I'm originally from Edmundston and people say "M'en va prendre une ride s'a trail"

I love Canada for it's bilingualism, it gives the country so much character!

Place Ville Marie is what all the other office towers in the country want to be when they grow up.

I don't hate PVM at all but def no my favorite. I find it looks way too massive from some angles. Imagine if PVM could split into 4 slim 188m towers and these could then replace some parking lots Downtown...

So the CIBC tower ends up getting the most votes. I'm surprised. Also surprised to see the 1250 getting so little love.

I'm also surprised PVM has lost out, and so badly. 8 votes. It's no longer getting the respect it once got I guess.

My reaction right now, lol.

CIBC I am not surprised by the love. Beauty that knows no bounds.
1250 R-L...I expected more swooning.
Of the five, the one I dislike the most is 1000 delaG. It is the ugly hat and the ridiculous looking podium that kill it for me.
