Canada Ranks High for Livable Cities

By John Berman

A dose of cable outragereally national outrage. There is a new ranking out by a company called Mercer of the North America's most livable cities. Their top 5 will SHOCK you. Or should. Here they are:

Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal. San Francisco

Notice something about the top 4?

They are not here. They are in Canada. And Rob Ford is mayor of at least one of them.

Canada Ranks high for livable cities. Now don't get me wrong, we all love Gordon Lightfoot. But really, 4 of the 5 most livable cities in the entire continent are in Canada?

Isn't it cold there? Are turtlenecks really that comfortable?

Cruz Disagrees with Nugent, but Doesn't Rule Out Campaigning with Him

By CNN Chief Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash and CNN Senior Congressional Producer Deirdre Walsh
 
GOP Senator Ted Cruz told CNN he doesn't agree with 65 year old rocker Ted Nugent's explosive comments – calling President Obama a "subhuman mongrel" –  but the Texas Republican would not rule out campaigning with Nugent in the future.

"Those sentiments there, of course, I don't agree with them. You've never heard me say such a thing and nor would I," Cruz told CNN in an exclusive interview.

But when asked if he would campaign with Nugent, a popular figure in Texas, Cruz responded  "I haven't yet and I'm going to avoid engaging in hypotheticals."

Cruz's comments to CNN came a day after Nugent campaigned with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, the likely GOP nominee for governor. The move sparked some outrage across the country, given what Nugent said about the President just last month.

"I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame, enough Americans to be ever-vigilant not to let a Chicago communist raised, communist educated, communist nutured, sub-human mongrel, like the Acorn community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama, to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America," Nugent told Guns.com last month.
