Calgary city councillor George Chahal says he will run for the Liberal Party in the northeast riding of Calgary Skyview in the upcoming federal election. "I want to continue on the work we're doing in northeast Calgary, in the city of Calgary, and make sure we are represented in the city of Canada," he said. He said he intends to complete his current term on city council, but will withdraw his nomination papers for this fall's municipal election. It will represent the biggest turnover on Calgary city council in modern history. Trudeau also addressed speculation that two members of Calgary city council may end up running for the federal Liberals — Chahal and Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi.
