Quite possibly, but who am I to answer for them?

Besides I don't see it or the CN Tower listed as one of the Seven wonders of Canada.

Not that I am in total agreement with the list which apparently is in no particular order by the way.

Poutine is there it just didn't make the top seven.

The Beaver too is there.

Couldn't find a reference to Peace Keeping.
