Toronto easily takes this one, it's skyline is 3rd in North America behind NYC and Chicago IMO.

Based on skyline alone Toronto really runs away with this one. As Atticman said it is arguably the 3rd best in North America.

City/Streetscape wise though San Francisco is superior.

Toronto's skyline is better. I prefer San Fran as a city, but Toronto has the nicer skyline. If it weren't for the Transamerica Pyramid, I'd have a hard time saying much about San Francisco's skyline (except that the setting is nice). San Fran is the preferable city for me by a landslide but the scale and diversity (and size) of Toronto's skyline are much more impressive to me than S.F.

Well, in terms of ranking on the world city scale, Toronto is a "bigger time city" than SF. SF is not a bigger time city than Toronto by any stretch of the imagination, at the very least they are equals.

San Francisco skyline looks pretty dense to me!

Toronto! I've lived in both places and while I love just about everything about the Bay Area, Toronto has the more impressive skyline IMO...if we are ONLY talking about skyline here. Toronto has a bigger feel (I found San Francisco quite small to be honest) and a larger population base.
