Comment: Actually - BOTH campaigns indicated that they'd seen a dramatic rise in abusive and racist trolling online during the campaign. Nenshi did NOT play "the race card" at all. He was simply commenting on a rise in intolerance on social media...a sentiment Bill Smith and his campaign echoed fully. 

The fact that the Smith supporters - like the Trump supporters - are okay with him not revealing his donors list (a la Trump hiding his tax returns) shows they've merely been waiting for a candidate with a pulse so they can get the brown guy out of office. Never mind that Smith is being bankrolled by the Manning Institute, i.e. the Koch brothers and other right-wingers with deep pockets who are also funding Jason Kenney's campaign.
