And then you have Nenshi who wants to get some benefit assertion for the city out of the project and who admittedly comes across poorly on the mic way too often.

Those really aren't equal and the consistent addressing as both sides as equally bad is, I think, very biased. This was pointed out several times by others as well, so this wasn't just noticed by myself.
Not really the area for an arena debate so I'll leave it.

But why does my assessment of the whole process being led by two idiots have to be unequal? And why does it have to agree with your weighting to not have it suggested someone was getting paid to produce a counter argument? (There's #6 or 7)
