All things considered not a bad day in Calgary politics

Both #MykeAtkinson (whom I was ECSTATIC to vote for) & #NathanSchmidt are good, smart dudes that care about the right things. I've had my issues with new mayor #JeromyFarkas but he's not #SonyaSharp & he's convinced some smart friends of mine & he can earn some trust with some good moves
