I don't understand your take on this.
1) the previous Mayor would round up his 7 votes, noting that these are typically the same 7 votes to push through his agenda.
2) There would be no point to meaningful discussion in the previous regime as the vote would already be decided before hand.
3) Now that Nenshi has not followed in this method, there is meaningful discussion that looks at the positives and negatives of each issue. Each voter can vote to what they believe is best for their ward and city.
4) But you see this as "he is genuinely liking the debate itself more than getting the stuff done"?
Doesn't that go hand in hand? Debating to get the best choice completed? Otherwise why even have a council then? Just have the Mayor make all of the decisions and be done with it.
