I watched that entire video, and at no point did she throw a tantrum. She stood up to the reporter, showing the exact kind of strength Calgary needs.
Off camera, she made an off-handed comment to the artsvote kids who were asking ridicuous, ridiculous questions to begin with. I thought long and hard about this: It showed honesty and it was overblown because she was a woman. Both Nenshi and Ric have used the word "crap" at various times in their campaign and it drew no attention whatsoever. It was Highly overblown.
If you want to see a "tantrum", look at the leading candidate for Toronto mayor. Then tell me how Barb's off-camera "crap" remark even made the news.

The gender card? Really? She was unprofessional during her entire time at CityTV. Anyone that can't disagrees with that is simply choosing what they want to see. She's lost this race because she has time and time again shown that she can't be taken seriously.
