Funny, that's what I used to call Justin's dad.
I just don't get the indignation in posts that decry any criticism of the mayor. He's hardly above reproach. He's not an effective negotiator, and is as likely to either piss off the other party or capitulate to them as he is to actually get a good deal for the city. Well, at least he pissed off the Flames rather than capitulating to them, but just getting to work on a deal that is good for both sides would be preferable. This is not to say that the Flames were not complicit in the collapse of the previous negotiations, there is plenty of blame to go around. I just find that with Nenshi, nothing is more important than his ego, and this tends to significantly hamper his ability as a negotiator.
