Regarding the "ethnic northeast" stuff (because I've heard this more than once already today), Nenshi's support base was in wards 7 and 8. The inner city neighborhoods like Sunnyside, Killarney, Marda Loop, the Beltline.

Numbers from Wards 5 and 10 (ethnic northeast):

Of 34,350 voters:
Barb Higgins: 12,189 (35.48%)
Naheed Nenshi: 10,609 (30.89%)
Ric McIver: 10,508 (30.59%)

Numbers from wards 7 and 8 (inner city):

Of 47,250 voters:
Naheed Nenshi: 25,979 (54.98%)
Ric McIver: 10,413 (22.04%)
Barb Higgins: 9,620 (20.36%)
