It would be inappropriate for Rick Hanson to enter into a public dialogue or debate with someone vying for public office during an election campaign no matter what position that person may put him in.
Hanson doesn't answer to Naheed Nenshi, Barb Higgins or Oscar Fech as candidates for public office. It's not his job to. In fact, it is his job
not to. Those people can't put him in any position where an appropriate response is to issue a public press release in response to what they say.
This is, of course, beside the fact that Nenshi wasn't speaking to Hanson or his department at all in the first place. He, and apparently you as well, have said as much.
