Ottawa Bitter Over Canada Tourism's Planned Move to Vancouver BC

The Ottawa Business Journal published one of the whiniest paragraphs I've read in a long time (that the author actually intended I take seriously)...

"For local community, however, this is an obvious blow that Ottawa's politicians, at all levels, should not allow to go unanswered. Why should Vancouver, due to a single event five years off, be considered the poster child for tourism in Canada? Ottawa is, after all, the nation's capital, home to a number of events and venues, many of which speak to Canada's proud history and presence on the global stage, such as the Tulip Festival and the new War Museum. When it comes to tailoring Canada's image for the world, Ottawa should always be, by default, front and centre."

LOL. The Tulip Festival and the new War Museum, eh? Yeah... the Olympics can't top that stuff. No way. Go ahead and keep Canadian Tourism Commission's HQ in Ottawa. I'm sure you only have 'everyone's' best interest at heart anyway.

I like how the article states that over 100,000 people are employed by the feds in Ottawa and that this represents only 100 jobs. They then go on to say "Why should Vancouver, due to a single event five years off, be considered the poster child for tourism in Canada?"
