I am out of provice right now and I am glad she didn't make it as mayor. It makes me laugh a little. I had her as a presenter 16 years ago at writers workshop when i was a kid . We were selected to attend based on academics. She was not a very nice lady that day; she lost it on us 10 nerdy students in her class. It doesn't count much for politics but it stuck with me and i have always remembered her as "the mean lady on the news." I Never thought i would get to see this ---Ha! Barb Higgins FAIL.
I believe she is the best candidate for the job. Being a journalist for 21 years has exposed her to the issues affecting Calgarians most, what we need done! She is exactly ontop of that and hopefully she wins on Monday. Best of luck Barb and my vote is with you!
She sucks! Bla bla bla. She has no solid ideas. The only worse candidate than her is McGiver. Polls show that her supporters are the least educated. Congratulations Higgins supporters, for being the least educated.
Newscasters known for fudging stories for ratings should not be put to the ultimate test of Mayor. Candidates with sufficient schooling and experience should be the only ones even in the race. Higgin's you are a joke, I have lived in Calgary all my life and I am sad to say, if elected. I will HATE this city and what you THINK you are going to do for its citizens
I do not get how she is winning I am only 19 an have a limited knowledge on politics but its obvious at least Nenshi an McIver know what they are doing if Barb wins this city will be all over the place seriously ppl reconsider voting for Higgins...
Its not about politics? Bahaha. How can you be fiscally responsible or create working communities if you dont have any political or even business experience.
Lets get some content here, I'm tired of these so-called inspirational boner-inducing speeches. What are you going to do about the Airport tunnel, BUS/LRT issues and 700 million missing bones?
Unfortunately Barb it is about politics! It is about bringing people together to take action. Words alone cannot do it. Great that you know people, but the key is knowing "what to do with those people"? You are an excellent speaker; however, I want someone who has a proven background of leadership as well as success in managing a business. We have all seen what Arnold Schwarzenegger has done to California! I do not want to see Calgary follow this path! I am voting for NENSHI!
Privitising Jobs to save alberta money was a huge mistake,now that those people are making $8 hr with no benifts and housing is Oh $350,000 to $500,000 for a home
I was happy when I heard Barb would be running for mayor. Ralph Klein was also a broadcast journalist that chose to enter politics. She has definitely earned the trust of Calgarians over the years, and I think that will give her an edge.
I can't stand McIver. He's been the alderman in my ward for years, and he's done nothing but fill our ears with grandiose lies. We need someone fresh and new, with a connection to the people. I think Barb will be great.
she is just using meaningless jargon to make us think she has solid plans but there is no sense in it. "Calgary is poised to leap into a new era, as mayor I will be the first person to champion people who already live here, and to sell Calgary to the world." what is all that suppose to mean. HOW is Calgary poised? What is this new era? She'll "champion us'? I don't know how that will solve the problems Calgary faces. HOW will she sell Calgary to the world?
Barb: Let's assume you know policies and people. What do you know about municipal budgeting, policy development or planning? Last I checked the City of Calgary budget is roughly $7.7 billion. Do you have experience in shaping the budget priorities for multi-billion dollar organizations?
@0000to0400 The thing about any elections is the ability to sell ones integrity to the center. Anybody can use quicken to balance a budget no matter the income, so the question comes down to trust over experience. Of course Barb is going to have her own team of financial experts. People aren't stupid they can relate to someone who has contributed to their lives as oppose to "others" who have been spending money poorly.

you need to know politics to get anything done. As well reading the news doesn't constitute as getting to know the people.
if shes elected she wont be any better then Bronconnier simply because she has o budgeting experience from "reading" the news.
