It's federal election time! In the past few weeks, Mayor Nenshi has been a strong promoter of cities. Canada's cities are the home to 80 per cent of the population and municipal issues must be on the federal agenda.
In the past few months, Mayor Nenshi has met with many provincial and federal politicians. So far, that's included the leaders of three of the federal parties.
"Although I always vote, I don't support any particular political party," says Mayor Nenshi. "My job is to advocate for Calgary, and I'm happy to meet with any politician to share the message that cities are vital engines of development in Canada and require sustainable, long-term funding."
