Is it illegal for accountants to take vacation in April? No it isn't.
And does Nenshi going away to a conference during Stampede - probably one organized well in advance and coincidental of the timing really matter to people? What, he's going to miss another pancake breakfast and a Yahoo photo op with a bunch of business folks and politicians?
Worry about the Green Line, worry about the business taxes, worry about the fracticious City Council. But for god sakes, people really don't have to worry about this. The City is still operating and we'd all be none the wiser and just fine if the media didn't get a hold of this minor, inconsequential conference date.
I can't believe the outrage. Seems manufactured at best and irritating at worst.
