Maybe Nenshi still has national political ambitions. I voted for him all three times and even I think that his petulance has killed any potential chances at higher office.

Have to say. I’d probably vote for the PEI premier as PM just based off his two minute take on the election.

I don't think Nenshi knows what his job is anymore.

If he can keep stating on state TV that we desperately need a pipeline and the city along with his tax base is in trouble without one it'll be for good. Let's see if he can do that though as he's not as vocally pro-pipeline as the mayor of Calgary should be.

The riding is considered a toss-up. It's still very early and with only 15 votes counted so far, Canyon has 1 vote. The Liberals and Green have 7 each.
CTV calling his riding for the Liberals.

What's the best way to follow along for the results of individual ridings?

Maybe it is because my expectations of Nenshi are pretty low but I'm actually surprised that he has been as pro pipeline as he has been recently and that he has been pressuring Eastern Canada for a pipeline heading that way.

CBC has an OK page where you can zoom in on ridings via a map.

I think Nenshi would be an excellent federal conservative leader. In terms of cutting Operational waste he does a good job.
