I was a huge Bronconnier supporter, but I am admittedly biased because I know him on a business and personal level.
I will say this though, the stuffy image Dave has by in the public eye is so far off how the guy is in real life. He is one of the nicest, down to earth and FUNNY dudes you could ever ever meet in real life. The mans knowledge of the history and inner workings of the city are mind boggling, even beyond what you would expect a mayor to have to know.

Bronco was a crook.
Nenshi has tried to implement change but council is stuck with the old ways. If he keeps questioning them logically he'll get public opinion/momentum. As for the cops in Calgary theyre just mad their budget got questioned. Public safety has more to do with demographics and unemployment figures than it does with police spending.
Calgary has a smart guy mayor and as a Calgarian that lives abroad I'm proud of that fact and feel Nenshi represents a Calgary that is in safe hands.
