Canadian landmarks that were sold or demolished.

The London, Ontario CN Tower. To see a YouTube video of the demolition Google:" CN implosion London, Ontario" and you can hear the fools cheering and clapping in the background. The other CN Towers are located in Toronto, Edmonton and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
A Globe and Mail newspaper ad . Windsor station was divested via a Privy Council Order-in-Council: January 28, 1993-Heritage Railway Stations Act-Canadian Pacific Limited to sell Windsor Station and land in Montreal." In 1970 Marathon Realty, the real estate subsidiary of the CPR wanted to demolish the entire train station.
A 2007 Globe and Mail newspaper ad. One year after Bill Gates became the main CNR investor he decided to sell the property. The Government of  Canada lifted restrictions on the ownership of CN investments; Bill Gates owns 25% of the former Crown corporation, despite a stipulation by the "CN Commercialization Act of 1995" that banned one individual, especially a foreigner, from investing in more than 15% of the company.



The Outer Station on Montreal Street, Kingston, Ontario. CN refused to repair the station:
