Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi Apologizes To Ontario Premier Over Alberta Opposition Comments

The Canadian Press, 27 May, 2016 11:30 AM
  • Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi Apologizes To Ontario Premier Over Alberta Opposition Comments
Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi has apologized to Ontario's premier for the way she was ridiculed by the Wildrose party's finance critic in the Alberta legislature.
 
Premier Kathleen Wynne came as a guest to question period Thursday and was mocked by Wildrose member Derek Fildebrandt as the leader of a failed, debt-ridden province.
 
Nenshi says he was shocked by the behaviour, which he called childish and petulant, and apologized on behalf of Calgarians.
 
 
He says Albertans are more polite than that and says people need to show common courtesy regardless of politics, especially if they want to be leaders.
 
Nenshi made the remarks after meeting Friday with Wynne.
 
He says they discussed pipelines, climate change and a need for an agreement by all levels of government on building infrastructure.
