Why have a vision for the future of the city when your base won't be around to see it?
Also, how do I embed tweets? I'm struggling to figure it out. |
I try to get to about one of these a quarter. I'm 50, and my attendance brings the average age down significantly. The whooping and catcalling when he makes snide remarks about Nenshi is great fun. And the random shouts that he should run for mayor. Of course they all start with the anthem, where I loudly chime in with the new lyrics and get a few dirty looks.
He takes written questions, so at the last one I asked what he would do to attract a crowd that is more representative of the demographics of his ward. Still waiting for a response.
If I can detach myself from it, it is all quite something to watch. He is so smooth and has obviously prepared his talking points and messaging. The thing about guys like Farkas that rubs me the wrong way is he was groomed for this by the campus PC/Manning centre track (another option seems to be the CTF) to be nothing but a cynical career politician.
