Of course political experience is very important, but my choice will be the man or woman who best meets the above criteria.
"Naheed spent many years at the international business consulting firm, McKinsey & Co., where he advised large telecommunications, banking, retail and oil and gas companies in corporate strategy. After leaving McKinsey, Naheed formed his own business, the Ascend Group, a consultancy that assists public, private, and nonprofit organizations to grow. In this role he designed major policy for the Alberta government, helped create a Canadian strategy for The Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy and worked with the United Nations to determine how global business can help the poorest people on the planet. Naheed is now Canada’s first tenured professor in the field of nonprofit management, at Mount Royal University’s Bissett School of Business."

By that logic, you'd be for the Oilers.
