Nevermind.

AUM · #**842** Posted **May 19, 2010, 2:31 PM**

^^^ Ok. Thanks.

mersar · #**843** Posted **May 19, 2010, 5:56 PM**

^ The Herald and a couple other sites have sections setup with lists of the declared-so-far candidates. The city only has a list of names (and no links) after nominations are closed.

Here's another page that highlights all the candidates in each ward/mayor and links to their websites and so forth:

After nomination papers are filed on September 20 the City will put up a site with the website and office address of each candidate in each ward. They will also publish a booklet with the nominated candidates within.

DJ also keeps an up-to-date list here: http://djkelly.ca/2010/04/whos-running-for-calgary-city-council-in-2010/

Hope that helps!

Just spotted an interesting post on Facebook by Naheed Nenshi: "Looking forward to a very big day tomorrow. Very big.". Nothing on twitter but I suspect we can all guess what he's referring to.

jeffwhit · #**847** Posted **May 26, 2010, 10:42 PM**

Can we assume he's just running for Alderman? I wish he would post here once in a while.

srperrycgy · #**848** Posted **May 26, 2010, 10:46 PM**

Hopefully Nenshi will run for something. But, I'm getting really tired of Paul Hughes' (the chicken guy) tweets. Very annoying, and it's only May.

jeffwhit · #**849** Posted **May 26, 2010, 11:06 PM**

^^Don't even talk to me about that guy, he has caused me to waste way to much time.

I'll third that, he is an idiot. I really wish I could say better of him than that, but his tweets have brought me to that conclusion.

DizzyEdge · #**852** Posted **May 27, 2010, 12:05 AM**

What have his tweets been about?

jeffwhit · #**853** Posted **May 27, 2010, 12:11 AM**

^^ FLEECEbridge, BronCON, oh yes, the man is not only a farmer, but a poet as well.

srperrycgy · #**854** Posted **May 27, 2010, 12:21 AM**

Some of Connelly's tweets have to be written by someone else. He doesn't seem bright enough to do them himself.

hrm, unfortunate.

Bigtime · #**856** Posted **May 27, 2010, 3:16 PM**

Well this is a little surprising, given some of us figured he'd run for alderman instead:

This is great. He definitely is the best candidate out there.

I think I know who I am going to vote for.

MalcolmTucker · #**859** Posted **May 27, 2010, 4:00 PM**

^ Still lots of time, good field however. And soon to get even better.

CorporateWhore · #**860** Posted **May 27, 2010, 4:02 PM**

So what's this Nenshi guy all about? Sounds like a pretty popular guy around these parts.

Seems like him and Kent Hehr are the "intellectual" choice....I wonder if they will split that segment of the vote vote just like many thing will be done with McIver, Connely etc.
