Saying Nenshi is “too arrogant” is one of the weirder critiques I’ve heard given that we have a premier whose pandering to eschatological extremists and conspiracy theorists on the far right is basically an existential threat to our polity.
And she’s also, you know, pretty arrogant. When is the last time she admitted she was wrong about, well, anything? Even when confronted with inconvenient facts she tends to gaslight and double down.
We don’t need a “nice guy” to run against Smith. We need someone who can win and then steer this province back toward normality while the Conservatives do some internal housecleaning so that they can stop being a doomsday cult and start being a political party again. Nenshi seems like the best choice right now. He’s smart, he’s willing to attack idiots when he sees them, he’s a competent leader and he’s someone who listens to experts instead of Rebel news.
But sure, maybe you don’t love his personality. Ok. I just think if that’s your reaction to him in this situation, it might be time for some soul-searching as to why.
