The Mayor of Cochrane was on a local talk show this afternoon.
He says he has been targeted numerous times by local developers for defeat and has survived each time. He's not running, however, in the next election.
He isn't whining about being a target of developers. Says the Shane Homes Affair in Calgary is democracy in action. Says no wrong doing has occurred. Says its up to voters to select candidates who will look after the long term future of their communities versus those with a short term agenda.
He says people might find the agenda of developers distasteful but, if they do, then research your slate of candidates carefully and vote for those looking after the best interests of the community.
It was an interesting interview given it contrasts fairly dramatically with Nenshi's reaction. But Nenshi has some political opponents with their pants around their ankles at the moment and his fist is going right for their balls. Can't blame him for that but note Nenshi's reaction has a political motivation as well.
