I'm also in Toronto, getting ready to vote, and as another Torontonian friend of mine remarked, just like every other time, we're going to end up with either an insufferable bureaucrat, or a rodeo clown. I look at Calgary with envy.
- gruseom 16y agoI look at Calgary with envy. I wonder if you have any idea how weird that sounds to a Calgarian! It's good for Canada to have taken this atypical turn. Calgary's reputation as a redneck enclave is a silly fantasy; it's really a complacent suburban enclave. What it does have going for it, on a good day, is a certain can-do energy. A lot of people here -- including me, and I never imagined I would say such a thing -- would actively support Nenshi in making some sane changes in this place. It would be particularly nice to break out of the stale liberal-conservative rut that this country has been mired in for so long. I was very surprised, on scratching the surface, to find that Nenshi is neither an ideologue nor a showboater. He seems serious. But by far the best thing for him to do is just be competent for a while.
