[Sr. Mints]

During the 2010 municipal election, it was clear from the start who I would not be voting for, but it was unclear who I would vote for.

In the weeks leading up to the election, I decided I liked Nenshi. I may not have agreed with everything he had to say, I did not understand all of his numbers. But as someone who puts a lot of stock in his instinct and 'gut feeling,' my instinct told me Nenshi was the most open, honest, and progressive candidate running.

I'm not a partisan voter--except when it comes to NOT voting for the NDP--and during this provincial campaign, I honestly hoped someone would jump out in front; someone my instinct told me was a solid choice, someone whose ideas mostly aligned with my own. I've met both the Wildrose and PC candidate in my riding, and they both seemed friendly enough, but it's as though not a day goes by when a leader from one of the four parties doesn't say or do something eyebrow-raising from out of left field.

I dare say, Brian Mason strikes me as the coolest cat of the bunch.
