I like Nenshi, well enough. Given the current slate of possible candidates, I'd vote for him in a hot minute, if I could vote in Calgary's election. But I don't know if this was guts. He saw what was going on at the provincial level and how people were rightfully pissed off, and he knew his CoS and the admin assistant travelled and said nothing, at least not immediately, which would have definitely been better optics here.
I don't know that this was transparency for transparency's sake so much as it was to get ahead of the information the media already knew and were about to release. There has been a lot of rumbling online, that this was known. So I don't know if I'm all that ready to give him quite the break others may, even though technically, I can't vote so it's also technically neither here nor there to me, if we get down to the splitting of hairs. Disappointed is definitely a start.
