There's an NDP alderman in Calgary or is that just his campaign colour?

IMO, I would give Nenshi an A+. One of the best politicians in the country.

Believe it or not, there is Well, to be fair, I'm not sure how affiliated he is with them these days.  But he did run as the federal NDP candidate for Calgary Southeast in 2004.  Those at the Manning Centre must still see him as a New Democrat though, they're training a known Liberal (James Maxim) to run against him this October, which speaks volumes considering how Albertan conservatives generally view Liberals.

As for Nenshi, I agree, he is a superb politician.  I actually meant to give him an A+, but the minus key is beside the plus key on my keyboard and in my haste I must've hit it instead >.> it's fixed now

In other news, I feel sorry for you having Harper as your MP.
