We should be thankful for a weak mayor system. It doesn't allow someone to do crazy stupid things without finding reasonable consensus from public representatives.
As far as previous mayors of Calgary, both Klein and Bronconnier have achieved far more of their own objectives than Duerr and Nenshi only because of their strong leadership qualities. Reminder, effective leadership can lead to both good and bad achievements. Klein has lead by adoration. Bronconnier – by fear.
