Nothing like misreading a very expensive room. Of all the places we could have overpaid to go to waste money attempting to attract tourists who don't want to come here, I could think of Toronto, Canada and Nuuk, Greenland as the absolute top of the list.

Sure, there are however many warm bodies necessary to fill the seats that make up the board, but one person on that board calls the shots, and if someone attempts to challenge that authority, they are quick...
