“It was known as the CN Tower a decade before Toronto had one of its own.

And, for a time, it reigned supreme as Edmonton’s tallest building at a full 27 storeys.”

Downtown Edmonton’s C.I.B.C. stands as the city’s last pre-Second World War banking hall still used for its original purpose.

105th Avenue’s slowly gentrifying, with old industrial wastes giving way to new condo blocks. What will happen to a building like this?

Poor, poor President Tory. One would think a building named after the founder of Alberta’s largest university would inspire its students — instead, all this building inspires is an overwhelming sense of dread and heightened anxiety.

To some it’s a Modernist masterpiece. To others a “12-storey middle finger to the legislature.” Whatever you think, you won’t have much longer to argue — this tower’s reached the end of the line.
