Just for clarification, great to hear he is actually a fan. I was supporting the idea of him being part of the grey cup, as a representative of Calgary regardless. I'm pretty bad at conveying tone in my writing some times.
Winning a professional sports championship is a major point of civic pride, and being involved in civic pride activities is part of his job description.
And to your other point policy aside, as a voter I would say the most appealing thing about Neshi is the respect he seems to show towards our money. Unfortunately I think I am about to get a lecture about bike lanes, public art or pedestrian bridges for saying that.
