His last line in the article is priceless, I'm glad my mayor possesses such wisdom.

The mayor wants women. Guess we can put the 'to gay or not to gay' debate to rest.

I hope women from Edmonton don't get the wrong idea and start to move here.

This is a notable article because Rick Bell somehow did not mention the Peace Bridge or Airport Tunnel somewhere in there.

Remember when Paul Martin was Prime Minister?

He kept referring to him as PM the PM.
Man, that was annoying.

He deems the Sun worthy enough for his articles.

Did they edit that line out of the article? I don't see anything interesting anymore in the article. It's just talking about census numbers and method of transportation now.

Looks like they changed the original story and added another one dealing with just the gender gap: http://www.calgarysun.com/2011/07/27...ing-in-calgary

They also added a better quote from Nenshi:
Quote:
“This gender gap is particularly prevalent in the 25-44 age demographic, which explains a lot about the challenges I have in my dating life,” he said jokingly.

“Calgary needs women,” said Nenshi, a 39-year-old bachelor.

...

A reporter asked Nenshi if there’s a problem having more men than women in Calgary.

“Not yet, other than for my dating life,” said the mayor jokingly.

I once made a thread freaking out about a girl's possible reaction to me winking at her. (...and promptly had it deleted once I regained my sanity), so I'm not one to criticize!
