Nenshi has been like this at least since his University of Calgary days. Its part of his charm in some respects, he's smart and knows how to play to his strengths in debating, but also tends to have very thin skin when he gets put on the defensive.
That being said, Ezra Levant is a professional agitator (among many other more choice descriptions) and Nenshi had it absolutely right when Ezra started playing the role of someone who was deeply offended. There is no doubt Ezra knew the reference.
Nenshi's kind of Trudeau like with his temper, though he tends to look much more juvenile when showing it.
And yeah, Nenshi knows full well the answer about Pembina would make him look like a hypocrite given him going after others in the same manner. Nenshi needs to be more careful these days for his image, but there's no way he's losing this election.
