Sod.That!

I went up the CN Tower last year ... I couldn't stand on the glass floor, but then I don't like heights!

I can't believe that they are charging for that.

I want big bucks to get out there.

I lived in Toronto in 1990 and worked for a race team called Landford Racing, and we ran Paul Tracey to the Indy Lights championship title that year.  Paul's Dad Tony ran a construction company, and while I was out with Paul one day, he took me to meet Tony at his office.  On the wall of his office was a photo taken by a work friend.  The guy was stood on the very top of the CN tower looking straight down at Tony who was hanging off the tower on a bowsens chair with a can of white paint in one hand and a paint brush in the other.  The two of them together painted the top portion of the tower, which is above the observation deck, purely by hand.

You won't catch me doing that. I like Terra Firma. The more Firma the less Terror  ;D
For any CA visitors: I'll wait in the Steamwhistle Brewery at the base of the tower.

^ I've never had a bigger/better free sample than what they give at Steam Whistle.  Cool place.

The snack shack just to the south of the CN Tower has great Poutine, too.  Better than the famous blue truck, IMO.  :-X
I stole DelBoy's lighter and lived to tell the tale.

Queen Street W, in front of Nathan Phillips Square.  Just west of the old city hall building.

Despite the appearance, it's likely you won't get food poisoning.  ;D
