I don't know that I buy this as a win for Wenzel. I mean, Nenshi essentially made the developers, and sprawl vs. community development, the central issue of this whole election process. He did so pretty emphatically, really; there wasn't a lot of equivocation as to what he's for and who he's against on that point. Yet he was elected with about 75% of the vote. That seems to me to be a mandate in favour of his policy views on this particular issue.
