Mayor-Elect of Calgary - Naheed Nenshi

We started this segment with a clip from Naheed Nenshi. He's a Harvard-educated business professor at Mount Royal University, a man who has advised Fortune 500 companies, the author of a book about how to make cities work better and -- as of Monday evening -- the Mayor-elect of Calgary.
