That isn't helpful.

Well, in fairness he's not so much pushing FOR a candidate as pushing AGAINST one.
However, since that candidate is the one most likely to win the election, your point is a good one. Nenshi is a different breed, and I like that he speaks his mind--but there's no question that a toxic relationship between him and the MP for Calgary Centre (should she win) is not helpful to anyone.
