In my opinion, definitely a better option than some of the other candidates.
From his candidacy announcement. No way would I support this.

-Current council is horrible (I hate this attitude in politics)
-Freeze municipal taxes for 4 years (Don't paint yourself into a corner)
-Find "efficiencies" to do that (Code for "I will slash programs.")
-Blames current council for 1st arena deal falling through
-Cancel blanket rezoning (Pandering to/agrees with those whiny babies who claim their community is "special" and just can't increase density)
-Current council is "elitist" and Calgarians don't trust them (Candidates who claim others are elitist is a good red flag who not to vote for.)
-People want change (What are your ideas for change? I don't want change for change's sake. Give me an idea of your recommendations, otherwise "change" is just like "elitist," a term to get people riled up with no actual plans.)
