I hope he gets better as I stated, and everyday just waking up must be tough, but just like everyone else in this thread, I simply shared my opinion about him as a Preimer and Mayor of Calgary and it just seems to be an unpopular one. Drinking beer with city workers, and you telling me he was the type of guy that would listen and understand everyone's views, is certainly not going to change that.
