Wenzel and this group of like minded business associates had a plan to simply outvote Nenshi. The problem is that isnt illegal and by all accounts thats what the Mayor was indicating. After the video first came out there was little mention of the possible above illegal activities and alot about the "out-voting" strategy. Being in such a twitter/email/facebook connected era I do wonder if some of the evidence Wenzel is using against Nenshi is from those sources.

I don't think the 'illegal' issue stems from the attempt to outvote Nenshi. It stems to Wenzel directing people about how they can help candidates over and above monetary donations, in ways that Wenzel's opinion, do not violate election law (ie. providing use of vehicles). But which, in Nenshi's opinion, does violate election law.
