A wonderful city with possibly the worst mayor in North America. While the vast majority of Calgarians work hard to build a life for themselves, the mayor of Calgary Naheed Nenshi (aka Mayor Spendshi) spends his days taking selfies, bickering with people on twitter like a 13 year old girl and thinking of reasons why he should be the highest paid mayor in Canada running a city half the size of Toronto.
If you are looking for a city that you can raise a family in you would be hard pressed to find a better place then Calgary. The only downsides are our sky high property taxes (Mayor Nenshi has to get his 300k a year salary somewhere) and our 6 months of winter.
