What bothers me is his constant holier than thou attitude using words like "disgusting", and always dismissing those who disagree with him as small minded and ignorant.

I know people who work with him who are quite tired of his childish pouting whenever he does not get his way.

People I know in the local media who have covered politics for 20 years say Nenshi has the biggest ego and craving for the limelight of any politician they've ever come across. And no, they're not partisan conservatives.
