Perhaps, that said - it might be nice to have few more MPs that are true advocates of urban issues. There's very few right now - Olivia Chow comes to mind, but not many others. Almost half Canada's population lives in the 6 largest metro areas. Locke also demonstrated a very good understanding of Calgary's needs, but would probably not be as focused or fervent in his advocacy.
