I know this isn’t deal related, but it’s something important to Calgarians. Congratulations to Naheed Nenshi being elected to be Calgary’s next mayor.
CALGARY – Paint Calgary purple.
Naheed Nenshi is Calgary’s next mayor.
The Mount Royal University professor and regular commentator on civic issues handily defeated Ric McIver and Barb Higgins on Monday in the closest mayoral race in nine years.
With 236 of 241 polling stations reporting, Nenshi has a lead of nearly 26,000 votes on McIver (39 per cent of the vote versus 32 per cent), while third-place challenger Higgins is even further back (26 per cent). The rest of the 15 mayoral candidates are around one per cent or less in an election that is expected to be a record turnout of slightly more than 50 per cent.
“Today, Calgary is a different place than it was yesterday,” Nenshi told hundreds of raucous supporters late Monday amid a sea of purple at his campaign headquarters. “It’s a better place…”
Calgarians flocked to the polls for what many expected to be the closest mayoral race in potentially decades – as hour-long lineups and a shortage of ballots produced headaches at some polling stations.
Early Tuesday, a total of 334,375 of the city’s 665,045 eligible votes — about 50.3 per cent voter turnout — had been counted with 231 of the 241 polls reporting.
Calgary’s highest voter turnout in recent history was 49.6 per cent in 1977. It dropped to 19.8 per cent in 2004 and went back up to 32.9 per cent in the 2007 vote.

Remember, Clearly Contacts will be giving away 10,000 pairs of Free glasses with lenses on Tuesday, October 19, 2010 starting at 12:01am. This promotion is available to first-time recipients only and residents in Canada. Use the promo code “10000Free” when the deal goes live.
From my understanding, Clearly Contacts will try to distribute the 10,000 pairs of free glasses as fair as possible across Canada. They will limit and release a certain amount of glasses in each time zone equivalent to the population percentage in Canada.
10,000 pairs of glasses may sound like a lot, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all 10,000 pairs will be spoken for within the first couple minutes of this deal going live. You will have to be fast and lucky to get a pair. I suggest you visit Clearly Contacts website and know what you want in advance and go to the site as soon as the clock hits 12:01am on Tuesday, October 19.

Election Day has arrived. Over the course of the past few months, votecalgary has been providing timely information on election news and issues, and shining the spotlight on both mayoral and aldermanic candidates by asking them to respond to our survey and conducting video interviews with them. The ultimate goal was to engage our members so that you will cast an informed vote TODAY.
If you are still undecided, there is still time – visit our ‘Meet the Candidates’ section where you can find detailed information on the candidates.
Decisions made at City Hall impact our industry and our livelihoods. Our industry believes that to build a city that is vibrant, sustainable and affordable, we will need a mayor and council who believe in the development of policies that encourage positive and strategic growth by attracting new business and people to our city, who protect consumer choice and affordability that help Calgary grow – up, out and in, and who enable and accommodate stable economic growth in our city.
Democracy doesn’t happen by chance – it is a purposeful, individual act. Each of us must take personal responsibility to cast an informed vote; you can help build a better Calgary by making sure that you and those in your network vote.
Remember, this is a critical election. This is the moment – make a difference by voting today. Here are the locations on where you can vote. Poll stations are opened from 10 AM to 8 PM. Bring your ID and make your vote count.

The Company
Veggie Fusion Express
http://www.veggiefusionexpress.com/
132 3 Ave SW, Calgary, AB
Providing a new experience in vegetarian and vegan dining, Veggie Fusion Express incorporates many Asian food styles creating fast, healthy, delicious vegetarian and vegan food at great prices for the value minded consumer. With the philosophy of “it’s not food, it’s good food fast,” it is very clear that their commitment to providing healthy options that taste great and are not overly expensive is a top priority. In cattle country, also known as Calgary, red meat is at every corner and for most it is part of life, so those looking to eat outside of the beef box are left on the sidelines with not a lot of options. It is exactly with this thought that Veggie Fusion Express has become so successful, because their choices are refreshing enough that they don’t taste like the grass you might feed to the cows.
Committed to serving only the finest foods, made with the freshest ingredients, all the dishes at Veggie Fusion are made from scratch, which gives you that home-cooked, just out of the oven taste. Since prices are so low, your Buy today goes a long way to making you wish all your jarred veggies tasted this good as a child. For a starter, the garden vegetable salad or the miso soup are tasty, and make good options to get your blood going and revved for the next course. Since spring rolls are one of their specialties, you can add it to any entrée for only a buck, and on the side of teriyaki vegan ham with rice or noodles they sound mouth-watering. Finishing everything off with a mixed berry fruit smoothie will fill you up enough to compete with the cows in their race to the cattle bell.

The Company
Larger Than Life Prints

Redeem online.
Larger Than Life specializes in wall art that combines modern materials with state-of-the-art digital-production technologies. With today’s Groupon, you’ll receive one of its panoramic wall murals, 48 inches by 12 inches in size. Browse the selection of city- and landscapes and order online. Keep it close to the continent with an image of the Calgary skyline or explore other cityscapes from around the globe. Tropical and mountain scenes are also available for two-dimensional glimpses of nature, as well as street art, animal images, landmarks of the ancient world, and more. Think not on frames or complicated mounting procedures; all murals are printed on fabric paper using eco-solvent digital inks, and are designed to adhere to any kind of wall material without leaving residue or damaging the underlying surface. If you need to leave town because a band of renegade apiarists is dangerously close to discovering the galvanized-steel hive stocked with superbees in your neighbour’s backyard, simply peel the mural and go—it’s safe to remove and reapply up to 100 times.
LTL wall murals can spice up sawdust-flavoured office walls, and make great gifts for birthdays, Burton Gilliam Day, or most any day. All LTL wall graphics are made in the United States, printed on demand, and shipped within 48 hours. With today’s deal, shipping (normally $6) is absolutely free; if you need the shipping expedited, just choose to pay extra during checkout.
