Does Calgary have a recent history of removing a mayor who has done almost everything wrong? Of the mayors since I have been born, I am pretty sure none have ever been removed from power by an election loss.

If it was McIver that had won I would have the same opinion, that he would be in power until he quits. This isn't a case of a supporter being blind to the truth, it is just realizing the reality we live in. People in this city generally don't care enough to elicit change on a large scale.

We have a good life (in general) and that's why these protests are ridiculous for most us, but that doesn't make it a cut and dry issue to kick them out. I say wait for the cold, and the problem will resolve itself quite quickly. These people may be stupid, but I doubt they are that stupid.
