Wenzel can say whatever he wants privately to like minded people. Obviously when his private statements become public, people who don't agree can say so. That's life when you're in the public eye.
As far as paying for Nenshi's defense, he was interviewed by CBC as mayor. If he were a challenger would he have been interviewed? Maybe, but I can guarantee Wenzel would not have filed for defamation against an unsuccessful candidate for saying he was "maybe" like the Godfather. So Nenshi was sued because he's the mayor and said what he did. I don't think he shouldn't have to pay for the defense personally.
