That should honestly be the only litmus test. Think about how hard that is to find that - a competent, non-corrupt and non-bigotted leader of our city, province or country in the past 30 years?
- In federal politics...I can't think of a single one. We're just all happy their not too corrupt and sufficiently competent.
- In Alberta, maybe Jim Prentice?
- In Calgary, maybe Al Duerr?
Thats a pretty sad list. And now we have Nenshi - who actually fits the criteria - and we're complaining about how we don't like his personality? boo-hoo. |
Every Canadian, Albertan and Calgarian leader in last 30 years, other than Prentice and Duerr, were bigots?
