    I was 100% expecting the Vegreville Egg for Alberta, but I completely forgot about the Drumheller Dino.

    The provincial park by Drumheller is Midland Provincial Park. Dinosaur Provincial Park is about a hour's drive away. Drumheller is famous because the world renowned Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology is located in the park. Hence the giant T-rex.

    I am surprised you didn't choose the worlds largest tomahawk in Cutknife Saskatchewan. It is a bit off the path but is extremely impressive. I worked on building it, as a teenager.

    I used to live in Duncan, BC home of the Worlds Largest Hockey Stick. You can see it right on the side of Hwy 1 would probably have been my pick for BC. I also love the statues on highway 3 in the mountains east of Osoyoos though they aren't that big or touristy.

    Videos like these always talk about the biggest and best of the provinces but leave out the three territories. If you want to see something awe inspiring and untouched go visit.

    Probably the most important sculpture in north-western Ontario, was the Goose at Wawa Ontario. I would have chosen the Goose over the nickel.

    Commenting before watching... I wonder if you will mention the UFO in Moonbeam, Ontario. EDIT - I totally understand going with the Big Nickel in the context of this video. Others I've come across on Google Maps are the 20-foot tall "Guy-Paul Treefall" near Iroquois Falls, or the "World's Biggest Snowman" near Beardmore, both on the epically long Highway 11. Actually, I would love to see a WHOLE video about the insanity of Highway 11, from Barrie to Rainy River.

    I understand why you chose the dinosaur for Alberta, but I was rather sad that there was not at least honourable mentions for the World's Largest Pirogie On A Fork in Glendon AB. It stands 8.3 m [27 feet] tall, weighs 2,722 kg [6,000 lbs] ---- as well as the World's Largest Pysanka in Vegrevile AB, which is 9.5 m [31 feet] tall and 5.5 m [18 feet] wide and weighs 2,268 kg [5000 kg]. A Pysanka is a Ukrainian Easter Egg. Both these works of art represent Canada's Ukrainian heritage, and it's important in these dark days that we remind the world of Canada's solidarity with that beleaguered country! Of the World's Largest Mosquito in Kamarno, Manitoba, the less said the better. But I will always have a special place in my heart for the giant Canada Goose in Wawa, Ontario ---- famous to many a desperate trans-Canada hitch-hiker, such as myself. "Wawa" means "goose" in Ojibway.

    • @Urban_Atlas
      @Urban_Atlas  3 месяца назад +2

      I understand what you mean and I agree, it’s unfortunate that I had to leave out some awesome locations and attractions from this list, there are just so many to choose from, I chose the dinosaur because at my core, I’m still a kid obsessed with dinosaurs so it holds a special place in my heart. But I understand your point and the importance of highlighting and identifying the history and heritage of different groups across Canada. Im thinking I may do a part 2 to Include many of the sculptures I missed in this video 🙏.
