He’s like the anti-Harper. Can we just give him the country pleeeaaase????
Nenshi gives a press conference during the 2013 flood:
I can’t believe I actually have to say this, but I’m going to say it. The river is closed. You cannot boat on the river. I have a large number of nouns that I can use to describe the people I saw in a canoe on the Bow river today. I am not allowed to use any of them. I can tell you, however, that I have been told that despite the state of local emergency, I’m not allowed to invoke the Darwin law. If you are on the river we have to rescue you. If we have to rescue you we’re taking away valuable resource from others. Everytime we have to pull a rescue boat onto the river, it means there is not a rescue boat in a community that is flooded. It is selfish and it is ridiculous for you to be on the river. So, do not do it. Stay off the river no matter what kind of thrills you’re interested in coming for and I won’t use any of the nouns that I really want to use.
Hey, Calgary, we’ve got a mayoral election coming up here soon, is there any way we can borrow him for a bit? We’ll give him back, promise.
You’re lying, Maz. There’s no way you intend to give him back.
Maybe we could look into cloning, or computerized reproduction of the human mind… Perhaps he has equally adorable and sensible siblings who are looking for mayorships of their very own?
