I think that's a tongue in cheek reference due to him owning Casablanca Video.

Ideas for a Better City: A Reception with Naheed Nenshi
Wednesday, July 07, 2010 from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (MT)

Looks like all are invited - but you do need to RSVP. Details and RSVP instructions can be found at:
http://meetnaheed.eventbrite.com/?ref=eivtefrnd

I think the fact this is happening at Arts Central is a hint as to what he might have to say. Not sure.

The statement on the on-line invite says:
"Come and learn about Naheed's compelling vision to build a more vibrant, sustainable and prosperous city."

If any of you can make it, please do report here what he had to say and your thoughts. Inherently his method is different from others, IE not $150 tickets, rather, everyone invited and contribute if you wish.

^ I happen to be in town for this, so I'm attending.

If there are other Nenshi supporters or other people who are interested in attending to hear what he has to say, it would be great to meet up. Perhaps get a beer after.

I could be up for that. Post event discussion and beers is always a good idea.

PS- I have registered. Anyone else going other than Wooster?

I may have a "married couple scheduling conflict" but I'm hoping at the very least I can get out of it and attend (while staying out of the doghouse!).

Spa day and taking the child for a day will get you out of anything. Absolutely anything.

The interchange construction will likely remove it soon anyway.

I bet you see a lot more Blinky votes. Surprised that Naheed is leading on calpuck. This gives me some optimism.

In the CalgaryPuck poll Nenshi is still winning, Hehr is a relatively close second - much higher than he is in the SSP poll. McIver is actually a pretty distant third. Quite a bit of Anybody but McIver sentiment. Alnoor with a few votes, no one else really with any support to speak of.

It will be interesting to see who emerges from Nenshi and Hehr as the choice to challenge McIver, who is no doubt still the frontrunner city-wide. I would hope either one of Nenshi or Hehr, depending on how things shake out would drop out to give the other a better chance. But who knows - that might depend if others like Stewart or Hawksworth drop out if they don't get much traction and who if anyone they throw their support behind.

Interesting interview with Nenshi on the development industry and its votecalgary.ca initiative as well as campaign finance.

I certainly hope one or the other would drop out if it was evident their campaign was floundering, to give the one with stronger support a better chance. I would hope either one of Nenshi or Hehr, depending on how things shake out would drop out to give the other a better chance, since considering how the odds are stacked we can't be splitting the votes too much between candidates who support an urbanist agenda. In fact, not sure how many of the current candidates will actually continue. Guys like Lord and Burrows don't seem to be getting a lot of attention in the media or anywhere, unless things pick up for them I don't see much point in them continuing.
