Mayors of Canadian cities:

• Lots of responsibility, minimal powers
• Manage corporations where expense growth exceeds revenue growth
• All plans subject to whimsy of provincial govts
• Public expects performance, regardless

Few people aware of this would want the job.

The immense difficulty - some would say impossibility - of being a good mayor prevents qualified candidates from wanting the gig.

This is why idealists often run for office.

This is also why narcissists often run for office.

Mayor Bowman’s announcement today can be viewed as an honourable move.

He has given prospective mayoral candidates more than ample time to think about the job, put together an organization and unofficially campaign behind the scenes.

Here’s how modern-era Winnipeg mayors have fared in their efforts to convince the province to cut the city a better financial deal:

Juba ❌
Steen ❌
Norrie ❌
Thompson ❌
Murray ❌
Katz ❌
Bowman, so far ❌

Each one (savs perhaps Steen, who only served for two years) tried to argue the province must accommodate Winnipeg because the majority of Manitoba’s population lives in the city.

The logic behind the strategy: Since Manitoban voters are by and large Winnipeggers, Broadway ought to tremble at the prospect of upsetting these voters.
