Just got around to watching that hot mess of a press conference. King came off as smug, arrogant and completely out of touch. His comments about how if it was really about money, they would have been gone a long time ago certainly left a bad taste. Between his smirks, ridiculous and condescending body language - the entire package was revolting. King is definitely trying to paint this as some brain child of Nenshi (not council) and I think this is going to back fire.
If anything, I think that this is going to galvanize people into supporting Nenshi for standing up to the big, bad CESC.
Not quite sure why King decided not to release the CESC proposal in his press conference, has it not been written up yet? Did they spill something on their napkins they were on? Is it being dressed up for the public? This just continues to feed into the narrative that this group just isn't prepared at all.
Kudos to the few reporters that did their job in that press conference. The others know where their bread is buttered and didn't ask much of substance.
