Sorry, but I respectfully disagree with ALL of your comments. I grew up in CAN (TO, EDM, Calg) and have lived in the US for 20+ years now. There are a LOT of religious right crazies here that you do NOT see in CAN, where the key driving force in their life is their version of Christianity. Mayor Nenshi was elected BECAUSE Calgarians are very inclusive and they don't look at color, religion, etc. He would probably not be elected here, much less run for office. We have a Muslim guy who ran for a City Council seat where I live, and there was an anonymous letter sent around the neighborhood prior to the election, and it commented on his color, race and religion, and insinuated that he was a Muslim extremist.  And lets not get into the Creationism issue. THAT will certainly repeat itself. VERY scary times here.
