Also known as the Marilyn Monroe Towers, they were completed in 2012 and remained Mississauga’s tallest buildings until 2024.
They stand at 179.5 and 158 metres.

Since 1981, West Edmonton Mall has held the Guinness World Record for “Largest car park,” with 20,000 parking spaces plus 10,000 overflow spaces.
The CN Tower was completed in 1975

I used to struggle with small talk and holding conversations but this helped me tremendously.
Find a quiet place and record yourself speaking for two minutes about anything that comes to mind. Imagine it’s your friend, family, stranger, or whoever you like.
First, listen to the audio only. Pay attention to your tone, pacing, clarity, filler words, and breathing habits.
Next, watch the video without sound. Notice your eye contact, posture, hand gestures, and facial expressions.
Finally, watch it normally with both audio and video to see how natural everything feels together.
The key is to compare recordings over time and make small improvements each day. It’s awkward at first, but after a few weeks you’ll notice real progress in confidence, communication, and self-awareness.
Mirror practice is useful, but video lets you objectively see and hear yourself and also track growth day by day.
From what I know Albert’s population is the highest, followed by Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. People online praise Alberta for Banff and Jasper, but Manitoba offers cheap houses, I rarely hear anything about Saskatchewan.
Alberta’s seems to have a cowboy theme, a lot like Texas. Manitoba is much colder with a higher indigenous population. Saskatchewan is flat wheat land.
Looking at the population density, it seems a lot of people live outside major cities becuse of on-site jobs and flat land. What is it like living there?

NYC is in a league of its own, so Toronto and Chicago feels like the fairest comparison in North America.
Chicago still leads in 150m+ (492f) buildings, while Toronto has more over 100m (328f) and is projected to surpass Chicago in 150m+ buildings by 2030 and continue.
Chicago wins in historical architecture and variety, but Toronto has more modern, glass-dominated skyscrapers.
Not about lifestyle, culture, just the view from street level and its skyline.
Which city does it better?
Kinshasa is one of the most populous cities on Earth, yet we rarely hear much about it in the news compared to other major cities.
I took a road trip last year from Canada to the U.S., and for some reason my Hinge settings changed when I crossed the border.
I got to the hotel, passed out until morning, and didn’t check the app since my notifications were off. When I woke up, I had multiple matches and messages. At first, I thought they were messing around, but I had a few hours to kill, so I replied.
Most of them responded within minutes, some instantly, and they were actually engaged in the conversation. I even exchanged a few photos with them. Their bios and everything looked legit. Many even tried getting my number, all on the same damn day.
I typically get one or two matches a month from a woman, and the second text I get ghosted. I've honestly never felt that seen before.
I switched my settings back by the end of the day, but it made me wonder how much easier dating can feel when you’re around people who are actually into you, instead of constantly trying to attract people who clearly aren’t.
I live in Toronto and have visited most major cities in Canada and the U.S. However, when I visited Phoenix a few years ago, I was honestly disappointed, especially knowing it is the fifth-largest city proper in America.
A strong skyline makes a city feel bigger, more impressive, and more attractive to people worldwide. It shows wealth, growth, and ambition. Phoenix fails at that. The city has too much sprawl, and while most U.S. cities have the same problem, they still manage to build a strong skyline. Salt Lake City, with around 220K people, feels like a bigger city than Phoenix with 1.6 million people.
Let’s face it, online dating is honestly not worth it. Having the courage to approach multiple women just to maybe get one date, only to get ghosted after, starts to feel like a humiliation ritual. Bars are not much better either.
It feels like a game where men are expected to put in way too much effort for very little in return. I realized it was no longer worth my time or energy, so I stopped chasing it and started focusing on my own happiness, my family, my friends, and my job.
It does suck, because there are a lot of attractive women my age I would love to get to know. But at the end of the day, I think we should stop caring so much, do our own thing, focus on the people who actually love us, and build a better life for ourselves.
Stay strong, king!!
After thousands of swipes, hundreds of messages, one date where she was on her phone the entire time, and several warm approaches, I still don’t have a girlfriend. It never seems to get far enough for someone to genuinely like me, and even when there might be interest, the hints are so vague that I honestly don’t know how anyone is supposed to catch them.
Reading posts like these makes me feel like most men are invisible in dating unless they fit a very specific image. It feels like women are often drawn to the idealized, superficial version of men they read about. Knowing this honestly makes me feel like I should give up on finding love.
I’m not saying I’m perfect, but I am confident, average-looking, fit, have a decent job, and have strong relationships with my family and friends. I’m also genuinely kind, not in a “nice guy” way where I expect something in return, but because that’s how I was brought up. Still, it feels almost impossible for a girl to like me. And even if someone did, I would still have to find someone I actually connect with, who shares my values, and who isn’t toxic or using me.
I just wanted to say that finding a partner to marry and build a life together feels like the only thing I'm missing in life. It’s different from friends, family, or success. It hurts thinking I may never experience love. If I ever do get a girlfriend, I know I would try to be the best boyfriend I can be. I would listen to her, care about her, buy her things, and do thoughtful things because I genuinely want to make her happy. But sometimes it feels like I’ll never even get the chance to show that off.
Honestly, I just wish I got approached for once. It would mean the world to me without always being the one to initiate, but unfortunately that’s not the world we live in. Reading this sub made me realize that I'm not alone and it makes me feel slightly better.
