Calgary chooses Naheed Nenshi for mayor - Yahoo! Canada News
I'm only posting this here based on the rise from little known to winner. I thought Calgary was too racist to elect anyone other than a white person, thats my honest opinion take it as is. I'm glad because Nenshi was the one candidate that spoke to a younger generation of voters, along with relaying values that appealed to an older generation. The other two candidates had faltering platforms, particularily Higgins, and McIver had a strong start and failed to carry any momentum. I personally think it was an race of momentum and who carried it till the end. I'm excited for this city and maybe someone with different views/values than the same old elected farts.
