In the time it took me to type this, Nenshi has retweeted two lost pets to an audience of 285,000 people.
Go get some perspective.

Sure you can. What is so terrible about pointing out that social media is incredibly powerful, for both good and ill?
I think it is great that people are having discussions about the mayor. I think it is also valid that the discussion might pertain to whether retweeting lost pets is the best use of a mayor's time.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
