Given the less-than-inspiring designs of the Canada Line stations, here are some comparisons of stations elsewhere.
Munich’s Georg-brauchle ring station:
Barcelona’s Drassane station:
Prague’s Flora station:

I’m sure you’d get complaints from observers with any of those designs too (especially the second one => urinal?)
I love the last one. It has a very Charlie and the Chocolate Factory aesthetic.
I’d recommend to everyone looking at the full document, as there are some even more amazing ones, though I doubt we could recreate the Stockholm subway’s bare rock stations in Vancouver. I personally love the first one listed from Munich, and in fact love almost all of their stations, as they are creative, colourful and inviting while at the same time using the most conventional rectangular subway station boxes imaginable. It shows what you can do without spending a whole lot of money when you simply think in terms of good design.
