So you think Drake is more popular gthan Barak Obama?hmm...What about Oprah Winfrey?
have of the people you mentioned I have no idea who they are and I am well traveled and well read.
The CN Tower is nowhere near as known as Sears Tower.In fact its not even known by te average person.
also the first open heart surgery was also done in Chicago by an African AMerican in 1893.
bill Murray,James Belushi,John Cusack,Cidy Crawford,Walt Disney,Tina Fey,Harrison Ford,Terrence Howard,Bernie Mac,John Malkovich,Jenny McCarthy,Jeremy Pippen,Shonda Rimes,Vince Vaughn,Robin Williams.etc.Not even close
Well, a quick look on Instagram shows that Barack Obama has 9.9 million followers and Drake has 29.7 million followers.
I doubt more people around the world would recognize the Sears Tower as being a Chicago landmark than they would the CN Tower as a Toronto or Canadian landmark. The CN Tower is quite a bit taller and one of the seven wonders of the modern world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonders_of_the_World
That's a good list of famous names from the Chicago area, but by saying "not even close", did you really think my little list of famous Torontonians was all there is? I could of listed tons more, especially if all I wanted to do was name famous TV and movie actors.

That's not really conclusive. An artist like Drake is very much a "niche" thing that appeals to a specific demographics, and those millions of Instagram followers are actually evidence of that.
I can't believe you're actually suggesting that this is proof of him being more famous than Obama.

As much as I hate to say it, a lot of the most famous people on that list would be labelled as being from the U.S. if you asked people around the world where these celebrities are from.
Sears Tower is neither more famous nor a more recognizable landmark than the CN tower.
If you ask a 6 year old to draw Chicago, he/she will draw a bunch of buildings. If you ask to draw Toronto, he/she will draw a pointy facsimile of the CN tower and a bunch of buildings.
And if you live in Toronto, the CN Tower is visible from almost anywhere in the city (especially before the skyscraper boom). You could be having the worst day but there it will still be reassuringly.

Maybe, but do you think that people around the world would know that those famous Chicago people listed above are from Chicago? No, most people would just say they're from "Hollywood". At least my list contained some famous Torontonians who are known to be specifically Canadian.

I'd say that the name "sears tower" is more known than the name "CN tower". While a lot of Americans probably know that Toronto has a pointy tower in its skyline, I'd venture to say a lot don't know that name of it.
The CN Tower looks like it would be from a futuristic movie, to me. It's a tower, not a building, so the relevance escapes me.
