Flooding update for July 2013
I have never been in the middle of a natural disaster until last month. For those who were affected, it is very much a difficult time. What has greatly surprised me is the extent to which Southern Alberta has been able to address numerous issues regarding the recovery. Already, Calgary has its electrical grid up and running and the Stampede will go “hell or highwater’. The resiliency of Alberta at this time is truly impressive. Short term, this is a very serious situation but in 6-8 months, I fully expect us to be in a fully operational mode. Although the news articles I post in the short term can be challenging for readers, always keep the faith that this economy is one of the strongest in the world. Our actions and abilities in rising up speak for us and not even a flood can stop the momentum we have.
Success is not a straight line and no matter what happens, we will get through this. For those of you in Calgary, please visit www.nenshi.ca as something to keep in mind this coming October. A vote is a way of saying thank you for the tremendous leadership Mayor Nenshi has shown to us at this time.

After the recent, and completely needless, dust-up between the Canadian Home Builder’s Association-Calgary Region and Mayor Naheed Nenshi, the mayor said in an interview on CBC Radio “ . . . that housing starts in this city are up, up, up. We’re almost at the peak.
“We’re almost at the peak in single-family homes. We’re almost at the peak in row houses. We’re almost at the peak in duplexes. The only place we’re not almost at the peak is downtown highrises.”

Why wasn’t Naheed Nenshi invited to Alison Redford’s economic summit?
It seems strange to learn that Mayor Naheed Nenshi wasn’t invited to Premier Alison Redford’s gathering of big thinkers on Saturday.
Nenshi, after all, represents Alberta’s biggest city and might have a thing or two to say about the fundamentals of a well run province.
