As of 2014 no Vancouver office building has ever been permitted to have a 40th floor. Its still tough enough to permit a Vancouver office building to even reach the 35th floor.

The TD Tower in Toronto would have been a stump if it stopped around the 30th floor.
http://www.blogto.com/city/2011/12/when_the_toronto_skyline_got_its_jolt_of_modernism (Oct-19-1965)

So far, no BC office building has been permitted to rival what was the tallest in Toronto during the 1930s. http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=413
The old CIBC in Toronto would still be the tallest office building in Vancouver.
http://torontoist.com/2008/05/historicist_tal
In Toronto it has become a stump among the much taller buildings.  
This is a fine example of a Toronto office tower next to a Vancouver size stump. 

As an unofficial tribute to the 30 story stump in Vancouver, Toronto built its own 32 story stump as if to also depict the difference between small scale Vancouver and big TO.
http://robertmoffatt115.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/bregman-hamann-spaces-for-people

5 out of the 6 TD Centre Towers are taller than the TD stump in Vancouver.
http://www.tdcentre.com/en/leasing/Pages/StackingPlans.aspx
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto-Dominion_Centre#Technical_details
The first 3 towers of the complex had an unofficial size representation. At the time of each completion the first tower represented the tallest building in all of Canada. The 2nd tower was almost equivalent to the size of the 3 tallest office towers in Montreal in the 1960s. The 3rd building was a stump as if to represent what was among the largest office buildings in Vancouver. The 4th tower would end up being 5 floors shorter than the TD_Canada_Trust_Tower,_Calgary. The 5th tower was equivalent to the size of the tallest office buildings in Edmonton & Winnipeg. The 6th building would be equivalent to the largest office buildings in Atlantic_Canada.

Toronto's First_Canadian_Place at 72 stories is still the tallest office tower in Canada.
Exchange_Tower at 36 stories is equivalent to the largest office building in BC.

John Barbour, Jim Garrison, Jim Marrs: JFK

January 31 at 7pm
Longtime TV host and producer John Barbour will screen his groundbreaking film about Garrison, and the panelists will take questions from the audience. The onstage guests will include author Jim Marrs, whose book about the JFK plot was one of the inspirations for the Oliver Stone film, longtime assassination researcher and author Dick Russell, and historian-author Joan Mellen.
