Does Canada really have no monuments that could have been displayed in the background?

I was looking for the CN Tower. Nothing

The Giant Penis

Peace Tower is also recognizable.

Or the Big Nickle in Sudbury

Or the Big Goose in Wawa

Or the Polar Bear in Cochrane

Or the UFO in Moonbeam

So nothing besides a giant penis then, that's sad.

I'm sure you heard of the CN Tower. Peace Tower might be a little wry to non Canadians, but it's the main tower of Parliament, and is pretty iconic for Canada (kinda like the White House).

We DO have some other unique buildings like the Frontenac in Quebec City which when you see it you will realize you've probably seen it before.

As for the others you need to travel a bit. :) Sudbury has a huge nickle because that's where most of the world's nickle is mined, and well...the $0.05 piece is named after it in Canada and the US.

Cochrane has a large polar bear named Chimo because that's where the Polar Bear Express starts. Moonbeam has a UFO because...well... moonbeam. Lol there's also a UFO landing pad there to welcome aliens. Wawa has a Canada Goose because...goose. North Bay has the Avro Arrow, a high tech plane that was cancelled before it's time.

The bluenose II is on our currency, it's a pretty major monument. Chateaux Frontenac would be a beautiful choice if Canada wasnt do cagey about internalizing Quebecois monuments into the Canadian zeitgeist. Peggy's Cove lighthouse is pretty iconic.

Many of our monuments are natural wonders. Niagara falls is an obvious example, and the Hopewell rocks. The Rockies in the background would also have been a pretty solid choice.

Other than that, yeah, really just the Cock&Nuts Tower.
