I don't actually think this is always important. I actually think Canada is starved for landmarks; I just don't think a megatall is the way to go.

I mean aside from the CN Tower, is there really anything in Canada that's world famous the way The Empire State Building, the Hollywood sign, Mount Rushmore, the St. Louis Arch, the Lincoln Memorial, the Golden Gate Bridge, the White House or the Sydney Opera House are? I won't even get into Europe.

It wouldn't kill us to have more symbols to offer the world aside from the Rocky Mountains.
