I don't have to. He was claiming far more than people were against the protests, he was claiming that the majority of the people in the city were so against these protests that they wished Nenshi hadn't been elected. These are 2 totally different levels of dislike.
86% of people support Nenshi, as per the recent poll.
For the majority of Calgarian's to now wish that he hadn't won the election, that means not only would 37%+ of the people have to have this one issue be so important to them that they would disregard every other thing they thought he did right, but it would also assume that no other people would 'side with Nenshi' since they agreed with letting the protesters stay.
That is such a huge number for the majority of the city, who are either
a) apathetic to the entire ordeal, as Calgarians typically are, or
b) not impacted in the slightest by the Occupy movement,
that claiming it is obvious they wished that had not voted for Nenshi is absurd.
