I don't remember much of that, but it's possible that since I usually agree with what he's saying, I don't see "lashing out" so much as "rightfully pissed off".

Anyway, I see this as a power struggle between Nenshi and the builders, and there's no way there isn't a lot more to this than disagreement on philosophy - the builders would usually try to work with the mayor, so if they are openly disagreeing and at war, one or both sides have to have decided their relationship was at an impasse not to be solved through the usual channels. That doesn't happen with one speech, no matter how inflammatory.
