I'm not exactly a fan of Nenshi's. As someone upthread said, I usually like his policies but I dislike his attitude delivering them. However, he's our elected mayor and he's fighting the corner of the city and its taxpayers.
Murray Edwards, on the other hand, is a big-dog billionaire who has a kind of pathological need to win every deal, every negotiation, in order to make his inexhaustible pile of money just a little bit bigger. I have no reason to respect or admire him. He's not fighting my corner, he's fighting his own corner. Few things would make me happier as a fan than Edwards selling his share in the team and going away to England for good.
