Naheed Nenshi, the young charismatic mayor of Calgary, a city renowned conservative, listening carefully a participant of the conference on business opportunities in Calgary at the Hyatt Regency in Montreal on September 22, 2011. Being just an hour off Twitter is difficult for Calgary's savvy mayor, a Muslim who has gained authority despite his young age thanks to his charisma, humor and projects in the conservative city. "In Canada and in particularly in Calgary, it's possible to do and to be anything regardless of where you come from," said Naheed Nenshi, smiling broadly beneath his small-framed glasses and brown curly hair, during a visit to Montreal to attract investor to his city.  (Photo credit: Marie Laure JOSSELIN/AFP/Getty Images)
