Just like to throw it out there that a municipality
is a non-profit corporation. That was one of the most attractive things about Nenshi to me.
Left-right issues are almost completely irrelevant in city governance. Nenshi has business experience. However, running a city that delivers services to tax payers, and running a business that sells good/services to customers for a profit, or increasing share value are different things. Non Profits have a lot more in common with city governments than businesses do when it comes to budgeting and finances.
