Does Bill Gates want to buy the CN Tower?

The Microsoft 95 banner is unfurled on the CN Tower, Toronto.

 1. During the late 1990's the Disney Corporation and Viacom expressed an interest in buying the landmark.

2.  CN Rail and Bill Gates already own "The People's Railway" including railway tracks and 6,000 bridges. The government of Canada was warned in 1995 not to transfer the infrastructure to foreign entities, but that advice was ignored. Now Via Rail has to pay CN millions of dollars a year to use railway tracks that were built and paid for by Canadians. 

House of Commons Debates Ottawa   January 30, 2014. MP Denis Blanchette (Louis-Hebert, Quebec) New Democratic Party - "Mr. Speaker, the federal government has wasted close to $400,000 in legal costs fighting CN over the Quebec Bridge." CN Rail refused to refurbish the Pont de Quebec that spans the St. Lawrence River between Sainte-Foy, Quebec and Levis, Quebec:]

3. Read the Fraser Institute document entitled "Time to privatize".

4.  CN Towers in London, Ontario; Edmonton, Alberta and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan are no longer Crown property.

Google: CN Building Implosion, London, ON to see a YouTube video of the event.

 Maybe Elon Musk will create "The Tesla Tower" and launch satellites from the site. The premise of a Michael Moore film called "Canadian Bacon" is that the CN tower is a launching pad for satellites and missiles.

The Space Needle in Seattle, Washington may launch people into outer space.

House of Commons Debates   Ottawa   December 2, 1987 - Proposed sale of CN Tower.

MP Neil Young (Beaches, Toronto, Ontario.) New Democratic Party.

     "Can you imagine, Mr. Speaker, the Government of Egypt selling off the Pyramids, the Chinese people placing the Great Wall of China on the auction block, or the Eiffel Tower turned over to the private sector?  Only in Canada we say "Sell the CN Tower!"  And what is the tower to be called; the Alpo Dog Food Heights, Loblaws Skyscraper, Pizza Pizza Peak or perhaps the Ronald Reagan Lookout?...The Tower was built with $57 million of Canadian money. It does serve fifteen media centres. It does accomodate two million visitors a year, and it does bring a sense of pride to Canadians..."
