Nenshi's clearly hoping that the weather will do the dirty work, and he'll maintain his coolness with everyone, but he's really should jump in with both feet.
Hopefully he uses both feet to walk right into Olympic Plaza with a megaphone and tell those dirty loser hippies to get the F*** off his lawn, but it's more likely that he'll tweet them and give them a little pat on the back and tell them it's time to go back to daddy's house and warm up in front of the computer screen and facebook all the other "activists" about their success.
But really, is that all you (anti Nenshi) people have? A bunch of losers are camping downtown, and now the mayor is getting called arrogant and petulant? Y'all would've been better off with McIver? Because of a three week camp out by a bunch of people that'll likely throw human rights tantrums and start suing over constitutional rights if they're evicted?
Really, it's probably wiser for Nenshi, and everyone else, to just let these people stay for another week or two, before they tuck tail and beat it when the snow flies. Don't even acknowledge it. $40,000 my ass.
In six months, nobody will remember Nenshi's apparent spinelessness over this situation, but he'd be tied to it forever if the situation somehow gathered support over an eviction attempt.
If this were an actual hazard or inconvenience, then yeah, it'd have been time to get serious about two weeks ago. As it is, it's a bunch of wannabe intellectuals, rich kids, and stoners, whose achievements are going to be tallied in the form of twitter posts and doobies smoked.
Tawnee7, you do not speak for anyone I know. You are the epitome of "anti-intellectualism".
