I've been following this race a little bit. I've known Chris Turner for a few years, and despite never-ever considering myself anywhere close to someone that would vote Green if I was in the riding I would be voting for him.
He knows the subject matter of sustainable energy and how to best take advantage of that in a province like Alberta and use it to create jobs and help drive us to become one of the leaders in the field.
If you wanted to send the Cons a message that they just can't take a Calgary riding for granted, and put someone in that would not be a complete green nut-job than I think Turner is your vote.
Plus he is very engaged on twitter (like a certain mayor we know), and is quite possibly the biggest Simpsons fan in all of Calgary. He wrote the book "Planet Simpson" about the show a few years back. A great read!
