“Evidence and leading with science… One of the very first calls I made March the 8th was to [past O'Brien Institute Scientific Director] Dr. Ghali … saying, I’m going to need some help. He put together a group of incredibly skilled scientists, economists and others that I ask questions to.”
-Former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi
