They should probably replace Calgary Tower with something more fitting. I suppose people are attached to it but might change their minds if something spectacular replaced it. Maybe a tower 1,875 feet tall to commemorate the year Calgary was founded? It would have the added bonus for Albertans of eclipsing the CN Tower by 60 feet.
