Since a lot of movies and TV shows are filmed in Canada, it's not surprising to see prominent Canadian locations used. I guess this location makes more sense than using the Toronto city hall, since that one is too well known (for example, it would damage suspension of disbelief if one saw the Toronto city hall as a museum on Caprica). As it is, I often have my disbelief challenged when I see films set in locations that I know well. I once saw a cheap Canadian comedy film that had a scene set in the huge computer room of my alma mater. :)
