I'm glad my incumbent was re-elected. The previous one was really bad.


And I think any of the candidates would have made a good mayor. Each has different strengths and a compelling case could be made for any of them.

In the end I think that is why there was such a large turnout. If change was the goal then there would have been more incumbents looking for work. Many different people saw someone who they believed could do the job, and so they were compelled to go out and vote.

So kudos to all the candidates for giving Calgary an honest choice.
