He often refers to studies but rarely references them. He constantly reminds the public that he is smart and that the other candidates are stupid. Then he uses the color "Purple" conjur support, which, to me, says that he thinks the public is also stupid.

He constantly reminds us of his business experience, and neglects to mention that he has never ran or worked for a business that did anything other than an extenstion of academic consulation. His experience is strictly academic, and occasionally extends to consultation.

His platform is full of promises that are impossible to achieve and essentially mean nothing, like "every community will be a safe community".

He is, without question, the most arrogant candidate.

His tactics are cheasy, and distateful. I remember watching him at a Philipino community forum where each candidate was instructed to introduce themselves and focus on their own platform. Naheed was given the last turn to speak, and instead of following code, he blasted all the other candidates. They were given no opportunity for rebuttle, and much of what he said was in fact made up.

His record scares me the most.

He claims to have designed major policy for the Alberta government. First of all, I would not brag about this. Second of all, it does not appear that any of it actually became policy.

His claims regarding The Gap, etc., are similar. I see nothing resulting of consequence from any of them.

He even brings up his presidency at the UofC students Union, which was basically powerless and incurred all sorts of mis-spending and tuition hikes.

At the end of the day, I see a lot of talk. I'm not saying Barb is any better or worse. I just don't see anything concrete, other than academics.

Can you read friend? My questions to you were as follows:

Are you not a little concerned that she has not a lick of experience, not just with regards to municpal governence but with regards to....well, basically anything? Does it not concern you that your choice for the next mayor of Calgary has done nothing but read from a teleprompter for the past 25 years?

Enough BS, she has the least experience of any candidate and we have a three horse race, I see no reason anyone would vote for her.
