Naheed: Visible Minority

Power Play Dept: "I will say today that I hope that every kid who woke up in this city this morning, and their parents showed them the newspaper or flipped on the TV, that every kid regardless of their ethnicity, of their income or what neighbourhood they live in, saw that and went, ‘Wow, in this great country and in this great city I can be anything,'" Nenshi told 's Power Play Tuesday evening, according to CTV. He is the first visible minority to become mayor of Calgary and the first Muslim to hold the top political office in a major Canadian city and one day after his historic victory, Calgary mayor-elect Naheed Nenshi says he hopes his unlikely election is an inspiration to Canadians. Nenshi, a 38-year-old academic, surprised many observers by winning a tough three-way battle in what is thought of as Canada's most conservative city. As reported in the news.
