No heritage protection leads to mindlessly tearing down beautiful and historically significant structures in the city. This leads to a loss of character that those old buildings, which essentially define the city by it's history (see Distillery District) as the former industrial centre it was, gave to the city and its people. The loss of character turns a city like Toronto or Montreal or even London and Paris, into a mindless set of towers that make up a "skyline-without-a-city" like Dubai, or even Mississauga as is occurring right now.
What city do more people go to, and what city do more people love for it's character, London or Dubai?
I'd rather Toronto be seen as a city rather than a skyline, and a city with character rather than a utilitarian center that is dead once 5pm hits.
