Calgary Herald Q: Young Mayor way candidate out of his depth.

Jeremy Zhao, a 19-year old chemical engineering and political science student at the University of Calgary, has thrown his name into the hat for one of the more notable positions available in Calgary this year.

Not only do I think he is way out of his league, but he has his whole life ahead of him to do things such as run a city of a million. And besides, he looks way too sweet and innocent to duke it out with some pompous big-wigs at oil companies fighting over where they can build their next skyscraper.

Update: ooOOooh - a rebuttal!

I think it's great news that young people are participating (obviously).

He probably won't win but I applaud the fact that he has put some thought into what is wrong with city hall (there are many things) and put forward his suggestions for a few good solutions.

It takes a lot of courage to do what he is doing but for each subsequent "young" candidate things will get easier and easier.

And he DOES have more university education than our current mayor! ZING!
