"Businessman"?

"Businessman" seems like a strange descriptor of someone who has never run a business. As I read the article, the closest he's come is running the Manitoba Business Council (an advocacy group). His other jobs have been as a journalist, oboist, and university administrator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.72.129.8 (talk) 15:44, 8 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

"From 1992 to 1997, Carr was on the editorial board of the Winnipeg Free Press. In 1998, he became president and CEO of the Business Council of Manitoba,[2] an organization which he co-founded. Carr is also a board member on the Canada West Foundation, and the Winnipeg Airports Authority, and well as vice-president of the Performing Arts Consortium of Winnipeg, and a director of the Manitoba Arts Stabilization Fund." Seems like being on the board/VP/CEO of these is enough to qualify as a businessman. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 15:54, 8 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
