This is not a fair poll, Houston's skyline and density is just not in Montreal's league.

You got that right. Houston should be compared to Philly, not Montreal.

Comparing Houston to Montreal is unfair just like comparing Philly to Toronto is unfair.

How?

Toronto really dosen't have a stellar skyline when compared to the greatest like NYC and Chicago. It's just massive.

That's what I mean. It's massive! That's why it doesn't compare. As pretty as Philly is, it lacks quantity and that makes a huge difference when it comes to skylines. But that's also why Philly would rank really high in it's own league because it has excellent buildings compared to skylines that compare in size.
