Nope. Close, but not close enough. I personally thought Nenshi was going to win, but a tighter result than what we saw.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

So same council.
Curious how many times that has happened in Calgary's history.

I think I like Nenshi even less now than I did 24 hours ago. This morning he seems smug to the point of being out of touch with reality. Is he not humbled by the fact that 49% of Calgary voted for someone else? Okay, 5% of that is wasted votes (Chabot, Heather, etc.) but the other contender took 44%. This morning Nenshi's interviews are that of a guy that won an overwhelming majority and sorry bud, that's just not the case.

Garbage election.
How long till the Flames are up for sale?
Agreed. I has the slightest hope that these results would have humbled him but based on his on camera crap last night we’re screwed…. I bet he’s more arrogant and cocky then before the election.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I support most of Nenshi's policies but he really needs to get his ego in check if he's truly going to relate to the public like he claims he does. On Global last night, someone who was a "close friend" of Nenshi was questioned on his arrogance, ego, temper etc and she was completely bewildered by these comments stating that he's almost the complete opposite.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Almost spit all over my monitor.

This election has been pretty funny looking back. So much emotion, high voter turn-out, voting disaster only to result in absolutely nothing changing.

I feel the same way. I say let him be smug and more arrogant. More people are catching on and getting tired of his antics. Hopefully by next election there will be a better candidate running against him.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I thought he was gonna win too and I also thought it'd be closer, but I had hoped this would have humbled him.

Yea, it was entertaining while it lasted. It's like an entertaining movie with a boring ending, like the complete opposite of a M. Night Shyamalan movie.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Apparently academics all has been calling out Mainstreet/Post media poll as unscientific. And I think Greenline poll when totally the other way.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Farkas and others with ties to UCP/Mannning Centre will make sure Nenshi on the losing side on most votes. It was hard enough for him to get 8 votes on anything with last council, it's will worse now. Nenshi is basically a lame duck now.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I doubt that his supporters will either care or change. It’s pretty clear that a lot of his supporters feel that it’s completely ok to denigrate/ridicule or shame people for expressing or even having a different view than they do. Nenshi basically saying fuck you I’m not changing to everyone who didn’t vote for him in his speech is just going to cement that attitude in people’s minds.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

It seems that it’s not enough for them to celebrate that Nenshi won, it has to be done by gloating and trying to keep dragging other people through the mud. It’s not “Nenshi won, that’s awesome”, it’s “sensible/smart/intelligent people beat the retards/vapid populists who didn’t support our side, now let’s try to slag Smith or journalists who don’t agree with us some more”.

I'd be shocked if he ran again. Move on to Provincial or Federal me thinks.
What really concerns me is that there is little or no tolerance for opposite views. If you don't support Nenshi you are a Rick Bell, of low intelligence, uninformed, racist, etc. There's basically zero respect for opinions that are contrary to his supporters. It's a dangerous slope as that's the kind of divisive groupthink that fuels the extreme groups like bigots and racists.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
