The bigger one is the composition of the people that are being used from Pembina. After Nenshi snorted about the scientific component of someone like the Frasier institute. The bills seem to be paying for a lot of marketing consultants, communication consultants and pitch experts and not towards anything to do with environmental studies like it was first indicated. My first suspicion is that there is an election coming up, and this sure sounds like a marketing push.
Pembina is a lobby group. I don't think I like the idea of using a lobby group as a governmental consulting group.
Why does the city need more outside marketing consultants. They should have that handled internally and cheaper.
As far as the beat your wife thing. I've never used it in a debate. I've never heard it used in a debate. I think the mayor came off unprofessionally using it.
If we're going to praise the mayor for his actions, we also owe it to question the mayor as well.
