Former Calgary mayoral candidate and council gadfly Larry Heather has failed to have Mayor Naheed Nenshi kicked out of office. On Tuesday, the Alberta Court of Appeal dismissed Heather's appeal of the 2017 municipal election after he challenged its legality. Heather first filed an application in the Court of Queen's Bench but the superior court rejected that notice and Heather took his cause to the province's top court. Calgary's 2017 mayoral election had 10 candidates, including the following (clockwise from top left): Larry Heather, Naheed Nenshi, Bill Smith, Andre Chabot, Emile Gabriel and David Lapp. Had Heather been successful in his appeal, the 2017 election results would have been declared void and a new vote would take place.
