No. Everyone's here pretty much settled on Levant being an idiot for pretending to be offended by an innocent metaphor and Nenshi being a hero in this exchange very quickly. I hate speaking in defence of people/personalities I actually dislike, and I do dislike Levant, but this is the case in point: he asked two tough questions and Nenshi did all but gave good and credible responses. Even in today's blog post he avoided direct responses. Regardless of Levant's motive, questions were straightforward: can Nenshi's Pembina address recorded on youtube be re-posted, so that everyone can form an opinion for themselves; and, secondly, why are PR people at Pembina given juicy municipal consulting contracts masked as scientific? I wouldn't mind knowing the actual answers that are not generalized and whitewashed. (To be fair, the second question is loaded and presumes that these contracts are sleazy; so, perhaps, an explanation of why Pembina Institute is hired to do anything and what does their hiring process involve would be more appropriate.)
