The Vancouver (stump) House

https://upload.wikimedia.org/Vancouver_House

Vancouver_House is a small building compared to what's allowed in real cities.  

155.6 m / 511 ft

Since Telus_Sky is in Calgary, it's not under any of the Vancouver type restrictions.

So many things are mixed up or upside-down in backward Vancouver.
