Riaz Mamdani: Monday’s election isn’t about businesses, it’s about what’s good for the city | Calgary Herald

Excerpt:

The notion that the current mayor and council is not business friendly is simply incorrect. The responsibility of our politicians is to ensure that advocacy by special interest groups does not adversely impact the public good. The current mayor and council have done an admirable job of protecting the common good and ensuring that special interest groups do not overtake the public agenda.

When Calgarians head to the polls … I hope that they remember what we have built together over the last several years – Calgarians (both those who own businesses and those who don’t) and government. We have seen our city grow, evolve and become one of the greatest cities in Canada through smart planning, progressive thinking and, most of all, putting the needs of our people first. That, after all, is what a democracy is all about.
