Twitter mishap! Apparently BBC World thinks Calgary is in Turkey

The social media guy for BBC might want to get new stock photos of Turkey.

On Sunday night, the British news outlet tweeted out a picture of Calgary’s skyline attached to a story about Turkey’s elected mayors being replaced by government appointed officials.

Our Mayor was quick to catch the mistake and retweeted asking if he could skip today’s council meeting.

Something’s not quite right here… Or I missed a memo. Can I skip the incredibly long council meeting tomorrow? https://t.co/gq3uFKVuWW

Calgarians quickly replied to Nenshi, bursting his happy bubble by saying unfortunately not.

@nenshi nice try. You don’t get out of it that easily…

@nenshi No skipping! Work to do: litter, noise, bikes on sidewalks, speeding, air toxics, GHGs, congestion, walkability, sprawl, etc.
