How did i find this video,it seems to be much higher production then id expect from a small channel.

Props to Iqaluit; takes stones to call a building wider than it is tall, a "tower".

As a Montrealer, most of us recognize the 1000 de la Gauchetière as the tallest building in Quebec. The 1250 Réné-Levesque is only the “tallest” because of the spire on its top. The spire is very tall and it’s too narrow for anyone to be inside. It’s just an antenna. The building itself may appear taller in some pictures but this is due to the angle of the camera and the fact that the 1000 de la Gauchetière is built lower down on the hill surrounding Mont Royale.

Nova Scotia is part of Atlantic Canada. 🤔

Does anyone else want to see a video of the strangest buildings in Canada? Edit thanks for all the likes

Fun fact worth mentioning: There's a law in Montreal which makes it illegal to build a building taller than the Mount Royal, which is 233 meters high

I work right in front of "The One" as a security guard at Hudson’s Bay Centre, it was under construction until the provincial lockdowns

1250 René-Lévesque is the address of the building. There is no controversy about that unless you make one. It was also known as IBM-Marathon.

Montreal building heights are limited by a bylaw that prohibits any building of being higher than Mount-Royal and we like it like that.

The Stantec tower stands out in the Edmonton skyline and makes it look so good

This video is really well done. Your voice is super clear and enthusiastic. Subbed. Hoping for more Canadian content!

Fenwick Tower is an interesting one- It was originally intended as a luxury residence, but the developer ran out of money, so Dalhousie University took it over and turned it into a student residence. Students are not known for being kind to their residence buildings, and universities usually don't sink a lot of money into making their residences pretty. So that's why Fenwick Tower got such a bad reputation for many years, but they're currently trying to fix that. As for First Canadian Place, I love that skyscraper, when I lived in Toronto I spent a lot of time downtown, and being around it always made me feel better. Those rooftop antennae give it some character too, they're more interesting than just a flat roof.

I live in a suburb of Edmonton and see the Stantec tower every day! I knew it was big, but I didn’t that Alberta was in second for tallest buildings in Canada! Great informative video!

Atlantic Canada includes Nova Scotia so when you say the tallest building in Atlantic Canada it should be the one in Halifax not the one in New Brunswick.

Winnipeg is in the middle of building a new tallest tower thats gonna be 142 metres tall. its around 30-40% completed. Good video though

I've always wanted to visit Canada. I'm Australian, and everyone here loves Canada. You're like our cold weather brothers. I always laugh when Canadians say their money was the first to use polymer since we've been using that since when I was a small kid (I'm 35 now) and we're already onto our second generation of it. Anyway, I digress. I'd love to visit the Great White North one day. Apparently Vancouver has the fourth highest diaspora of Australians than other city on Earth, just behind London, Auckland, and Los Angeles.

At the start, you flashed some images of unique structures to be found in Iqaluit. I did not know about these and would like to learn more! The whole video actually makes this selection of varied communities look like pleasant places to visit, ringed by oceans, rivers, forest mountains, satellite cities or permafrost.

I loved the nod to the Dead Mall series … that was fantastic.

Actually the name of the highest building in Québec isn't controversial; the street's name is though. Its name actually is the 1250 Renée Lévesque because the building is situated on the 1250, Renée Lévesque blvd. The name of the building is simply from its address. The name of the street is somewhat controversial though. It was previously called Dorchester Boulevard up until 1987, the year of Lévesque's death, when it was renamed to celebrate his heritage as a previous and impactful Québec Premier. But the independent, enclaved, and mostly english speaking (and very rich) municipality of Westmount just near downtown had none of it and decided to keep the previous street's name as an act of disagreement and protest. Typical Québec drama.

Is anyone else Canadian and still didn’t know about mahs point

Nice work! I am subscribing as I want more Canadian content.

The building in Quebec is not named after Rene Levesque... You just gave the adress, which is on René Levesque Boulevard...

The name of the building in Montreal has nothing to do with René Lévesque. It just happens that it's address is on René-Lévesque boulevard (1250 West René-Lévesque). In fact, the original name of the building was the IBM-Marathon Tower. No controversy here. As for the name of the street, it was renamed in 1987, from Dorchester to René-Lévesque after the passing of the former Québec Prime Minister. No controversy here either as is much more relevant to to name an important street after an important characacter in history a than the obscure Dorchester. An By the way, the same has been done after the death of Robert Bourassa, also a former Prome minister of importance in History, and political opponant of Lévesque. (In his case, University street was renamed after him).

As someone that lives in Maryland, USA all this stuff is very fascinating to me.

I was watching this video and I thought you had a ton of subscribers for this production quality and I was astounded to see it only has 1.3k you deserve more subs

Fun fact: Mah's Point in Whitehorse is actually tied with another four story building for the tallest I think. Whitehorse did only allow buildings up to twenty metres and four stories tall for a while to maintain the city's aesthetics, but very few four story buildings actually reached that height. So the city took out the floor limit to create more density. There are some specific areas in town zoned for twenty five metre tall buildings to go in like you said, but so far nothing has been built to that height yet.

Great overview, keep up the fantastic work, appreciated the small asides in each province including the architectures of interesting building sin Nunavut!

Great video, definitely have to check the channel out now. Also, I would be interested in a more detailed video of the unique structures you mentioned in Nunavut.

I was literally wondering what the tallest building in Canada was, as I already knew that the CN Tower isn’t technically a building, just like the KVLY tower isn’t the tallest in the US. All I could find was the CN Tower though. Thanks for the vid!

My favourite building in Canada is the Commerce Court North Tower. It’s an Art Deco building built in 1931 in Toronto. It was the tallest building in the British Commonwealth until 1962. Sometimes when I walk by it, I can’t help but admire its grandiose. It’s lobby is a sight to behold also.

Awesome video I subscribed And since I found this video I can say i was a subscriber when you where small just wait your gonna be successful

I have an obsession with knowing the tallest buildings in each region (either provinces, states, cities, or countries themselves), and I had to click this when it arrived in my recommendations. Nice video, and great production for a small channel!

I worked on Toronto Dominion building 1966 at that time tallest in commonwealth. 750ft 56 stories.

Hey this is some really solid content, keep up the good work and I'm sure your channel will succeed!

Damn how does this channel only has 1k subs, it’s got the quality you’d expect from a channel with over 100k subs, if he keeps pumping out good content like this, he’ll probably get big.

You make it fun to watch. Good job!!

This was an excellent video! Just as a heads up, the skytower known as pinnacle one yonge went under construction recently, and is supposed the be the tallest building in Toronto at 313 meteres and 95 floors. The One has also restarted construction and is going quite fast actually. I think they are already at their 3rd or 4th floor in just a few weeks. Today, the developers also announced that they want to increase the height of The One to over 338 meters (1108.92 ft) and 94 floors. If approved by the city, it will be the tallest in Toronto. In addition, other buildings such as Mirvish and Gehry (329 meters and 91 floors) are also in the proposed stage. Two more right beside it at 301 meters and 310 meteres are also proposed as well as a 324 meter superthin skyscraper beside The One. Right now, it is hard to tell which will become tallest first as construction and new proposals are coming in so fast so we will have to wait and see. I think all this development is great though!

This video was so well done and fascinating! Thank you!

Well produced, informative and entertaining upload. Thank you for your efforts in making this available!

Awesome vid! subscribed

Great video! Keep it up!!

I watched this in anticipation as you got to New Brunswick to see if you had actually done your research, and you did! Thank you for including Brunswick Square in my hometown of Saint John!

great video, subscribed

Great video 🙌🏾

I love architecture info and this video was awesome in it's completeness and uniqueness. It's nice to here about cities other than the big three. I was always amazed by the skyline in Yellowknife. Who'd a thought. Love to see a video on all the cities in Ontario.

Great video for a channel of this size, Subscribed!

The 1250 René-Lévesque is not named in his honour. It's the name of the street : Boulevard René-Lévesque. So get the facts straight please. I never heard any controversy about that building and I work next door.

Thanks for doing this

I was the crane operator for The Yukon’s tallest building. Great company built it.

I liked the video, nice to see some info about Canada, thank you...one additional note for the info you noted in your vid: On August 31, 2020, the building (The One in Toronto) was issued a ...permit by the City of Toronto, allowing for above-grade construction of the building to begin. Work on the second floor began in December 2020...

Château Frontenac is just something else. The most beautiful building in Canada

1:40 I love the great urban style and use. Commercial below with a slight push back for residential. Definitely a Vancouver stylized building.

Hi everyone! If you enjoyed the content, please subscribe/like so we can make this channel grow! I have been trying really hard to make great content and I would like to earn your subscribership! Thank you for watching!

Interesting fact - Rene Levesque was born in Campbellton N.B. Same hospital as long time Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion.

Great video and channel 👍🙂🇨🇦

Amazing content 💕

Fun fact, no building in Montreal can surpass the peak of Mont-Royal. A small mountain just west of downtown with an elevation of 233meters.

The Northern Heights building in Yellowknife was built in 1996. It was built while I lived there, and I moved there in 1990.

You can see that Stantec tower from a long ways away when driving down the Yellowhead highway from Jasper national park to Edmonton

I liked this host, he has got a very cheerful voice, I felt happy to watch this video for 2 reason, my favorite subject and his interpretation lol

Good job!

This is an amazing and very well researched video! It's absurd that you don't have at least 10k subscribers.

bro I cant believe Edmonton beat Calgary by 4 meters .

Interesting building information, I hadn't realized we had so many iconic building here in Canada.

Gotta say, as a local, that description of Yellowknife's Northern Heights was dead on. (And you're right, it was 1989.) Nice work!

The new building in Winnipeg just surpassed the record, it's still not done but it's the tallest thing in the city now

Very interesting 🤔

The Canso Strait Transmission Towers spanning between Port Hasten's, Cape Breton and Auld's Cove, NS are 180M tall. 2 new structure were completed in 2017 as part of the Maritime Link project. They are apparently the tallest transmission towers in Canada.

Was looking at the list for BC, and realized I might get the chance to work on one of the next tallest buildings, which is honestly pretty sweet.

Can’t lie that was a great curveball lol

Cool video! Just a heads up, Moncton is actually pronounced ‘Munk-tin’, as opposed to ‘Monk-tun’. Really like the video though, very informative 👍🏼

So good

4 is bad luck in Chinese that's why the one in BC has no 4th floor .

Commenting before this channel hits 100k

Surprised you didn’t mention 201 Portage would be surpassed by 300 Portage in 2022 at 465 ft. Construction began in 2019.

Ywllowknife has less people than my town and my towns tallest building is a church

Well done!

Does anyone know the name of the song used in the mall part for Yellowknife ??

The building they are wonderful...nice work

Really wish Calgary had gotten an honorable mention for Alberta. It may be true that Edmonton took the record for tallest building in Alberta. But literally like the next 5 tallest are all in Calgary.

Love the Yukon, visit relatives each year in whitehorse. Very peaceful city!

VERY valuable information about Canada love it is very nice and warm broadcast informative article

Isn't Halifax in Atlantic Canada though?

There is also the tallest tower in Calgary Alberta, called the Brookfield Place with 56 floors at 810 feet tall.

good video other than forgetting NS is part of Atl. Canada lmao. Thanks

Nice!

Background fact about Prince Edward Island: geologically, it is an oversized sandbar, so the ground cannot support a true high rise building as it would sink

First Canadian Place and the Aon Tower were both designed by Edward Durell Stone.

informative video

Funny how the tallest building in Toronto is a Bank of Montreal tower.

The interesting thing that stood out the most was that most of these buildings were built in the 70s or 80s, why is that?

I think that there is no 4th floor in the Vancouver building because 4 is bad luck in China and there are many people from China in Vancouver.

There's a fairly new residential building on the corner of Preston and Carling in, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Check it out, its tall. I can almost see it from my house and my house is a few miles away.

I know it's not a building but you didn't even mention the smoke stack in Sudbury with a height of 1250 ft., the tallest structure in Canada until the CN tower was built.

If you state you are count antennas on top of a building, then a communications tower counts as the tallest building. It's either you include every structure, or you only count the height up to the human usable space. Which would count all the floor space but then an antenna doesn't count towards the height.

Wow very marvelous city

Since you did put an antenna in there, what about Flin Flon's Smoke standing around 253.5 meters or 825 feet for Manitoba. That's double the height of any building in Winnipeg.

I'm from Vancouver and I didn't even know our tallest building

me: "cant find the tallest building in Mexico" AJMSTUDIOS: "Canada's Tallest Buildings By Province & Territory"

Yellowknife does have a decent skyline, especially for being in the Arctic
