Article by Mayor Naheed Nenshi on Democracy

Quotes His Highness the Aga Khan.

Late last week, reflecting on the ongoing robocall scandal, Post-media columnist Andrew Coyne wrote on Twitter: “Always remember: everyone in politics is trying to con you in one way or another. Some go to greater lengths at different times than others.”

The sometimes-witty Coyne was, I hope, being tongue-in-cheek, but I was surprised when people jumped in to agree with him. One Calgary journalist wrote that Coyne was “merely expressing a belief held by large (numbers of Canadians).”

I simply don’t believe that’s true.
