Calgary's new mayor sounds rad. Too bad he lives in Calgary.
He's actually centre-right, politically (somewhat more right-wing than our previous mayor), but as he hadn't previously held political office nor been linked to a federal or provincial political party, he managed to confuse enough people that he both garnered an endorsement from the Calgary Sun (tabloid-y, racist right-wing paper) AND won the university and downtown wards by absolutely huge margins.

But he defeated our Rob Ford type, so. I can't stay too annoyed.
