One look at our mayor, Naheed Nenshi, and it`s obvious his priority is eating. Every year he gets bigger which means he must be spending more time scarfing junk food than running this city. Too long in office, he has completely lost sight of the task at hand, i.e., running this city efficiently and within a reasonable budget.
Now to add insult to injury he is determined to host another winter Olympics to the tune of billions. And we only know this because a couple of responsible folks at city hall leaked the true budget -- not the phony figures Nenshi put out. We're up to several billion and guess who will be paying for it? (No need to answer that rhetorical question.)
When first elected, Nenshi was a sensible advocate for the citizens of Calgary; now he believes his own press and has become a megalomaniac. All he wants is to bask in the ceremonies and leave a legacy. Sadly, the legacy will be a severe blow in the wallets of everyone else.
Also sadly, he will probably get re-elected. Again. Because he is ethnic and all the ethnics vote for him en bloc, regardless of whether they are of his ethnicity or another. We're effed.
