I've read Turner's campaign materials and it seems he's really trying to downplay his party while promoting himself. He obviously thinks an association with Elizabeth May isn't a winning one for Calgary and on that front I probably agree.

Well his latest piece that I saw (which could be his only?) doesn't even mention the party. Its really odd. That's why I said earlier that he might as well be running as an independent.

I say, rock-paper-scissors. I'm only half-joking.

They definitely agree on a lot. That's partly why the centrists are so bloody annoying. They all think that their own brand of being in the middle is better than the others. That or the "we're smarter than those other centrists" attitude that comes out. I probably hate that the most really. It would be so nice to see some pragmatism mixed in with the arrogance and "me first" attitude at times.
