Toronto has a nice skyline, no question, but the needle was Seattles trademark. The needle tower is a little tacky to begin with but to blatantly ripoff another citys icon well thats just unacceptable.Toronto loses points and I'm going to have to go with Philadelphia on this one.
I like Philadelphia's more, however it does look a little weird with that huge Comcast Center so close to the Liberty Place Twin Towers, Liberty Place used to dominate Philly's skyline, they should have put the Comcast Center further away from Liberty Place.

I don't find CN Tower similar to the Space Needle. Plus it is so much taller so the technique should be drastically different. CN Tower used to be the tallest freestanding structure for quite a long time. Its importance is comparable to Sears Tower. Space needle is only 184m. Just a normal downtown building height by today's standard.

That's a pretty funny justification. Just say you're biased because you live in PA. Otherwise, on an objective level, there's really no contest between the two at all.
