Nah, there are a few sites in Calgary that could easily accommodate a 100 floor building, I think a lot of the parking lots along 9th avenue would be candidates. I've also never heard of the ground playing a role in not being able to build tall.
It can be done here, we just need the economics of going so tall to make sense. Which can be really hard right now since there are still a lot of available lots in the CBD to build on first. When that space starts to become scarce is when we can see the best chance of going supertall.
However I'd love for someone to just go ego and build Canada's first supertall here soon.
