You're right. Shut this thread down, how dare we get an awesome channel to directly ask questions to the mayors office.

Try being more specific next time. Your initial post casts your judgement on the entire thread.

Nenshi has a roughly 90% approval in Calgary. Not really surprised, are you? Many Nenshi supporters are in here (myself included). And many of us think he does a great job, especially for a rookie politician.

Fair enough....but just because 90% approve doesn't mean it do or should. I don't follow, I make my own mind up.

I could sit here and spout off about why I don't like the job he is doing but what point would it serve? I'm not going to be changing any minds here...nor do I care if I do. I'm just expressing my opinion like anybody else can.

And your opinion is apparently that anyone who disagrees with your opinion is "pathetic" and "drinking the kool-aid", like they are unable to critically assess a situation or person.

Seems only fitting that someone would call you on it.

I think you should run for office. Clearly the rest of us are wrong. You might want to work on your choice of words for your electorate though. You will need at least 40% of Nenshi votes to get that magical majority.

What you're really saying:

Anyone who supports the same party/candidate that I do is a critical thinker who evaluates policies objectively.

Anyone who doesn't support the same party/candidate that I do is an irrational sheep who is ignorant of the real issues facing our community.

It's like looking in a mirror isn't it.
