They of course determine Enmax's rates. Probably no relation to Gary Holden, CEO of Enmax. I have no idea, nor would it ever be disclosed.
Let me try another..
Steven Paget, a personal donor that just Happens to be the Vice President of First Energy:

Sheila Wasylyshyn...
Executive assistant to the Calgary board of Education Trustees.
Innocent enough, but why not just disclose?
Jim Mitchel...
Maybe just any Jim Mitchel, maybe the Vice President of PCL Construction Canada.

A real fun one: Susan Stratton.

Always nice when people suing your industry are also donating in your City's election:

Anyway, I have no direct links here but am merely trying to illustrate that Nenshi's disclosure is far from transparent, and if you think his "grassroots" campaign is funded any more honestly than the other candidate's....think again. |
Until you posted this, I was sure you were just a somewhat overzealous supporter or Barb Higgins.
Now, I am 100% certain you are being paid to do (either directly, or indirectly) by people involved in the campaign to elect Barb Higgins. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a brilliant move for her to do this since her only shot at this point is to paint it as a 2 horse race between her and Dr No. This is the exact things her recent radio ads have been doing as well. I just didn't peg them as being smart (or is it lazy?) enough to try and do it some place like CalgaryPuck.
I wonder how many people you needed to ask before someone had an account old enough that people wouldn't almost dismiss you as exactly what you are.
In case you were wondering what tipped me off, it was random listing off a rather large list of heavily researched names that you 'randomly selected' that just happen to be people you could use to put a spin (albeit flawed as fotze pointed out) to put him in a poor view to someone who would just take you at your word.
edit: actually I have to admit, you fooled me for a lot longer than you should have. Your post history indicates you have never posted in another thread other than this one right here, despite being a 2 year old account. You should have been at least smart enough to make some posts in yesterday's GT.
