Bye bye Nenshi!

Nenshi's getting out because he knows the next budget is going to need huge tax increases and he doesn't want his name on it.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

But unfortunately for him, politics is his only career path now. Someone might be stupid enough to hire him in the private sector but he'll lose that job rather quickly.

So wherever he lands up he'll have to deal with huge tax increases anyhow.

Too bad we couldn't use that logic with Trudope

First that old hag Farrel, now Nenshi... This is not the news we need... Rather the news we deserve.

I'll say it again, they checked the pockets of Calgarians and it is now empty... Their service is complete.

Truth.

I said it in another thread.
Nenshi for NDP provincially and Notley will go federal

[Anomaly]

Nah, I'm betting Federal Liberal party. He could plausibly win them a Calgary riding

[killramos]

How is a Calgarian in an unwinnable riding an asset to the federal NDP?

You're a funny guy.

Federal NDP I think he has more of a shot than the Liberals. Although either level of politics is a possibility with him.

Interesting that cryveson here in edmonton and nenshi in calgary are both not running again

Same reason Bronco quit. Gravy train stops.

So are the only choices right now 1st gay mayor or 1st female mayor?

Calgary Centre was 60/30 split. Kent Hehr with all the bad news and kicked out of cabinet still commended 30% votes in 2019. I can see Nenshi can put up a fight as a Lib in Calgary Centre.

Dude is 49, plenty of time to climb that ladder. Worst case, he get 2 sweet pensions and then go slum it teaching public policy or something.

So funny seeing the responses here vs. on Reddit where it seems the r/Calgary thread is full of Nenshi fan girls.

I wonder if their perspective will change when they have to start paying taxes.

Yes to the federal Libs.
No to running for office.

We just need fat fuck Joe Magliocca to quit, or choke on a sausage to his end. Whichever comes sooner.

Maybe him and Nenshi can both choke on sausages. Kill two birds with one stone.
