> Mr. Nenshi's win is a repudiation of those who believed Alberta's conservatives – stung by the existence of an NDP government in Edmonton and a Liberal government in Ottawa – were poised to use the municipal election to help stage a comeback.

So much for the pundit Class's theory on how everyone thinks. 

And voting out Mr. Nenshi would have likely negligible effect on the price of oil. 

So maybe, just maybe, voters are a bit more intelligent than the G&M gives them credit for.
