Original Title: TIL that on April 21st, 2016, the CN Tower and Niagara Falls were both bathed in purple light to commemorate the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II. Many bystanders mistakenly believed this to have been a tribute to the legendary musician Prince, who died of a fentanyl overdose that very same day.
