A while ago I introduced you to a newly elected city councillor in north Edmonton, Jon Dziadyk. Incumbents are beaten in Edmonton elections maybe once a generation, even when they are extreme duds and their opponents have money. (The Executive MBA is provided boot-camp-style in monthly four-day chunks.) What really strikes one, though, is that a city councillor is not actually an executive, and isn’t elected to be one. That seems like the kind of education that should prepare you, in theory, to be a city councillor.
