No way Fred, Nenshi has been a major driver behind Calgary's continued growth (smart growth) with the help of City Counsel.  I sit in my Calgary office and look at all the new activity in this City over the past few years, from the East Village development, to LRT expansion, Stoney Trail expansion, airport expansion, facility expansion for all Calgarians, new Science Centre and Music Centre, to bike paths, and a lot of it has to be credited to an energetic mayor and his support on Counsel.  Lone wolf mayors don't get things done, Nenshi does.  Can he be frank, yes, especially if you are used to politicians that give the Calgary real estate interests a blank cheque.  Real estate developers are doing fine here, there is no major real estate project that needs action where impediments cannot be overcome.  The new arena will come, there is no urgency, and City Counsel and Nenshi have rightly pushed back when needed, as negotiations always happen.  Nenshi will win reelection easily.
