He also talked a bit about Smart Street Light technology to improve traffic flow instead of just making bigger roads.

Mr. Nenshi talked about his three points of successful government and was generally vague overall. He speaks very well and is quick on his toes and I would like to hear him speak more.
A quick note: Nenshi also wants to ditch the $3 parking fee.

Nenshi is definitely not representing himself well if he's coming across as vague. His policy platform very well defined, especially compared to some of the other candidates.

http://www.nenshi.ca/new/policy Note that each policy is a link, which takes you to an overview of his ideas on that topic, which is supported by a PDF with even more detail.

Kudos for making the effort to attend and get informed!
