It really disappoints me that someone who has appeared above political bickering and ideolgy has approached this issue this way.
I guess this depends on one's perspective, but I see it as Nenshi being on the defensive against Cal Wenzel et al. who made no bones about the fact that they were going to actively support candidates for council who would oppose the mayor and vote "their way". Were it not for that leaked video, I suspect the tone of this campaign would have been quite different.
