A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on June 26, 2006 and June 26, 2007.

This article is written in Canadian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, centre, travelled, realize, analyze) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

I think the CN Tower is the world's 3rd tallest and this article has it listed as the 9th. I think it's the 9th tallest free standing structure. 9th tallest tower. I hope someone else looks into this and makes the appropriate changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.15.55.197 (talk) 12:18, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's weird how nobody is changing this. I don't want to do it myself. Should someone have fixed it by now?

Many of us regulars are quite busy. @Vaselineeeeeeee: What do you think of all of this? Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 12:43, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've changed what they want from ninth tallest tower to ninth tallest free-standing structure, and also added third tallest tower explicitly at the end of the "tallest tower" section - it had said it was passed by Canton and Skytree as tallest tower, but didn't say it was the third-tallest tower explicitly.

That makes things more clear. I understand why the IP user was confused at first. I too would get confused as well. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 01:58, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well now I know that the CN Tower is the tallest in the northern hemisphere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.189.191 (talk • contribs) on 01:32, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article reads:

The reflective nature of the new buildings compromised the quality of broadcast signals necessitating new, higher antennas that were at least 300 m (980 ft) tall.

How about:

The reflective nature of the new buildings reduced the quality of broadcast signals requiring new, higher antennas, at least 300 m (980 ft) tall.

Change this sentence:

To this sentence (with an update at the end):

Following the railway's decision to divest non-core freight railway assets prior to the company's privatization in 1995, it transferred the tower to the Canada Lands Company, a federal Crown corporation responsible for real estate development and attractions management.
