Naheed Nenshi

Naheed Nenshi: Speaking to attendees of Calgary's 23rd annual Pride Parade, Nenshi referenced a debate in a "certain part of our country" about "how people should be restricted from certain jobs because of their religious faith.", according to CTV. Nenshi -- who is widely expected to be re-elected in next month's municipal election has spoken out against Quebecs debate around having a secular charter in the past. Last year, he described such plans as "social suicide." He became the first Muslim mayor of a large Canadian city when he was elected in 2010 and Calgary's popular mayor, Naheed Nenshi, took a moment this weekend to criticize Quebec's contentious plan for a secular charter, saying residents of all faiths are welcome in his city. "We need together to show Canada and to show the world that here in Calgary, it doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter what you look like, it doesn't matter what you worship, it doesn't matter who you love," said Nenshi on Sunday.
