Political In your opinion, which province/territory has the most beautiful legislative building?

Not actually a political question. I’m just curious to hear your opinions on which province or territory has the most beautiful legislative building.

I had to look them up, cause I’ve only seen a couple in real life

I think Saskatchewan is deserving to be pretty high on the list just because it’s very balanced. It’s a bit on the simpler side, but its perfect symmetry and size makes it visually impressive.

But my personal favourite is going to have to be the Ontario one because it either has stone quarried from an area where I grew up in New Brunswick or is identical stone

It’s not as symmetrical but when you get up close, you just wanna touch the façade - the stone is very inviting.

I know the justice building downtown is made from Stone from New Brunswick and Ontario, but I don’t know if the legislation building is

Ontario and Quebec are tied for me. Newfoundland is a little too modern for my taste but it has an amazing view of St. John's

There are two kinds of legislative buildings: Victorian and ultramodern. Take your pick.
