The broadcaster says it’s up to the building’s owner whether to fix it, but a spokesman for Morguard Corp., who commissioned the building, claims the map is “not a map of Canada, it’s a piece of art” which is “not representative of Canada, per se.” Will they fix it? “Why would I?” the spokesman asked. “You wouldn’t go back to Picasso and say add another nose over here on this piece. You wouldn’t do it. I’m not going do that. I’m not an artist.”
