Please do not look at the location.
I did a bit of searching around on this one since I'm new to this thread and I'm especially terrible with evergreens, but could it be Northern White Cedar?
Northern WhiteCedar is indeed correct!

I used to have one in my backyard, I knew I saw that one somewhere! I guess now I know what it was! I'll never forget that (:

Leaf Shape is pretty long and pointed and kinda toothed so I wanna say it's Balsam Poplar or Black Cottonwood. I have no idea how to tell the two apart but I'll guess Balsam-Poplar

Balsam poplar is correct.
Compare these two pictures and tell me what you think:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populus_t ... onwood.jpg
Honestly I don't really know the difference either, but I thought this would be a fun one to do.

The bottom pic seems a bit darker, but I've seen black cottonwood pics which were pretty light in colour so idk tbh.

Try this pano!

The picture's pretty blurry so I can't tell much, but I'll go with Tree of Heaven. I don't really know.

Not tree-of-heaven. these leaflets are narrower and less pointy

I can't see the picture very clearly - are the leaves bipinnate, also, are they rounded? Also it's fine if I'm not supposed to have that information, but it's pretty tricky otherwise.

IDK if they're bipinnate, but your instincts are right that they're rounded
