How to remove a columnar aspen tree?

Hi all,
I am in the process of trying to figure out the best way to go about removing a 25ft columnar aspen tree and, more importantly, the inevitable suckers that come with it. I have read a number of options, but nothing seems very definitive. Has anyone had success killing a tree that suckers? Should I cut it down and treat the stump with herbicide? Or spray the tree with herbicide first? What�s the best way to make sure the root system is killed and stops suckering? And what is the best time of year to tackle this? I live in Alberta, Canada and fall is quickly approaching.

Thanks very much for any advice folks may have.
