Oh, Canada. Really, have you nothing better to do with your time? Why don't you join in with a war or something like us? It might be morally wrong but it's great fun and it'll keep you occupied for ages. Much like...
Anyway, the point is, Nintendo of Canada is teaming up with Canstruction, "a national charity of the design and construction industry", to build the world's largest Mario statue. Out of tin cans.
The statue, which will be built in Toronto's Dundas Square, will be ten feet tall and will weigh over 1,100kg. An estimated 4000 cans of tomato sauce will be used, and they will be donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank once everyone's finished marvelling at Mario.
What shall I say?... Lets move on You can read more about Canstruction, and see some of their previous works, over on the charity's website.

Words reach us today of a rather unusual new statue, commissioned to be erected in Toronto's Dundas Square, Canada. The statue will be a joint project between Nintendo of Canada and Canstruction, which is apparently a national charity funded by the construction business. The statue will be the world's largest model of Mario, and will be entirely crafted from tomato sauce cans. Hence 'Canstruction', we assume... (or is that because it's in Canada? - Ed).
The 1,100kg statue, celebrating a gaming icon, will be more than 10 feet in height, and the sauce cans will be donated to Canada's Daily Bread Food Bank once the model's work is done. Approximately 4000 cans will be used. Canstruction have in the past been responsible for other unusual pieces of large-scale public artwork... and we'll keep you posted as Super Mario looms over Toronto.
