Let's be clear, This Wenzel is a weasel of very high magnitude. Sure he donates to charity, but as others have noted it does not make you a good person. More often than not there is a motive or objective to giving such large amounts, such as vanity projects, or helping the image of the company so they get more business, or curry favour with politicians.
Now to me Nenshi isn't completely innocent on this. Didn't he help set the tone last year when he demanded a published apology from another one of the weasel home builders over comments made? I know it isn't a lawsuit, but he has started the cyclical chain with these grease balls.
To be clear, he is doing the right thing. This city could not continue with the Ric McIver and Barbs cow towing to these people. However, I think the mayor could have thought through this a bit more tactfully when he started demanding published apologies over things he didn't like.
