Compared to Nenshi and even McIver, she's just not great at handling negative lines of questioning.

And that is yet another reason why I don't think she's qualified. Besides the fact that she lacks a definitive platform, she just doesn't handle negative pressure well (from what I've seen anyways). How do you expect someone like that to lead the city? Is she going to get bent out of shape everytime someone says something negative to her? How is she going to effectively negotiate with the province or other parties if she's going to get this razzled?
At this point, I honestly see her as just a puppet to whomever is controlling the strings from behind the scenes. Call me paranoid, but that is kind of a scary thought IMO.
