[edit] ...

Because their website is clearly much more NPOV and balanced than Wikipedia is. --Qviri (talk) 01:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

It is in the fact that they have reduced claims of being the tallest structure to being the tallest building. --Kmsiever 20:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, can you name a currently-built free-standing structure taller than the CN Tower? --Qviri (talk) 13:45, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Petronius Platform is 610 metres in height. --Kmsiever 15:42, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Isn't it supported by buoyancy of the water? --Qviri (talk) 15:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

My understanding is that of the 610 metres, 535 are below sea level; as well, the seabed is 535 metres below sea level. I assume that means the structure is supported by land. --Kmsiever 17:16, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CN Tower

The tallest free-standing structure in the world, not tallest building by a longshot. --C civiero 00:01, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Buildings under construction

Unless you have a source that a particular building under construction has achieved a height that would give it a spot on this list, do not add buildings under construction. An excavation does not qualify as one of Canada's tallest buildings! A.Roz (talk) 02:47, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Also, the list could be expanded to 30-50 if anyone has the energy. A.Roz (talk) 02:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
