He resigned to work for the provincial government.
I like the idea behind 1Calgary Centre, and I think its a great idea. I do wish they were picking a candidate a lot sooner, and that the candidate was based on who could most likely win. The only way a group like this has a chance is by lining up behind the second place contender (3rd place if that happens to be Ben Christensen) and doing it early.
The distrust people have is that the polling shows that Locke is clearly in second place at this point. Going by facebook likes or other pure social media "scores" its probably Turner though. So if the end result is that 1CC endorses Turner you have a race for second that might tighten, but thats about it. Unfortunately though, waiting until a week before probably means that no one will stop their own push and help the other progressive though.
Its a shame. Its a great idea and a great project with the right intentions.
