CN Tower should not be on that list. It's honestly nothing special compared to what's out there nowadays.

This is the American Society's of Civil Engineers list of seven world wonders, so it's all going to be man-made, and it's all going to be some form of civil engineering. My mouth is watering. Yeah, I'm weird, I know. The dissonance from the music in this video was starting to make my head hurt, though.
