  1. It isn’t helpful for HIM. It’s very helpful in enlightening voters as to where Nenshi really is politically.

  2. Nenshi’s handlers, and the Mayor himself, are progressives who are hostile to all those who question, make intonations, query, insinuate or any other line of thinking which may call into question the superiority of their well thought out reasoning.
    Unfortunately, it is mostly textbook theories or wishful thinking which they hold in such grandiose loftiness, far above the intellectual capacities of the plebes.
    His arrogance is astounding, but good to see he is in touch with his FEEL
    INGS a whole lot more these days.

  3. Unfortunately, the people who vote for His Purpleness probably don’t read SDA and wouldn’t be caught dead watching the Rebel.

  4. But there must have been others in the room who saw the outburst. Also — people talk. Nenshi’s anger indicates to me that the left is beginning to see the irrationality of trying to stop oil usage –zero CO2 emissions — what jerks.

  5. Everything seems to be going as I predicted, Trudeau and Notley do their job – smiling and lying and petting their perceived enemies – while unelected public servants, politicized and weaponized, do the dirty work to (a) shut down the dirty tar sands, (b) stop all pipeline construction and (c) generally fight “capitalism” wherever it is found by rendering “capitalist” activity uneconomic. Nenshi can ignore it or deny it but, as the saying goes, reality is that which, even if you ignore it, doesn’t go away.

  6. It’s unfortunate. Brian played the whole speech on the Rebel earlier. While I am not a fan of Nenshi, he did a really good job and then he goes and does that during a scrum. All he had to do is let Brian finish his question, then he could have answered that it is not a left or right question and then answered the question on how to get the message out. He would have looked good and everyone would have been happy, regardless if it is a left or right question.

  7. Well Nenshi had a sissy. ..errr hissy fit! You’re surprised and want him to “man up”? Oh my sides!

  8. Nenshi, Notley, turdo a doo, Coderre, Wynne, Tory, Robertson, Watson, etc., etc.
    The peoples’ choices as leaders. Try to tell me Canada isn’t just an old Indian word for Absurdistan.

  9. Nenshi probably got a bunch of “attaboy” points from his voter base for shutting down the eeeeevile Brian Lilly. Smart of him.
    Never saw Nenshi talk before. He sounds like a b1tchy girl.
    Wave bye bye as all those rigs drive south.

  10. Progressives are haters and when Brian scratched this one we all saw what came out. That Nenshi publicly supports the Oil Patch is merely evidence that he can’t politically afford to say otherwise. The Spawn, on the other hand, pimps votes from the national gene pool of the mindless and serially deluded and can afford to politically carry on the screwing of Alberta as pre-determined by his genetic inheritance / handicap.

  11. Well said.
    Too bad that Nenshi lost his temper and acted this way, as it shows him to be an unfit leader in an economy in crisis, as well as being extremely rude and classless. I expect that a few of the other scrum media sniggered at the put down of Brian.

  12. Brian’s question did unroll the jellyroll. His eyes looked angry and he couldn’t flash his smile, so a cord was struck for sure.

  13. I understand Nenshi is muslim. Judeo-Christian religions teach forebearance and tolerance. Islam teaches contempt for non-muslims. When muslims have the upper hand it ends in the genocide and enslavement of non-believers. You just caught a glimpse of the muslim mind-set toward the kafir. Get ready for the future of muslim politicians in Canada.

  14. If the Alberta economy and Calgary’s continues to head south, Nenshi’s best before date wont be far behind. He know this and like HRC he has become increasingly shrill in recent days.
    Liberals in a liberal country have decided that oil stays in the ground. Nenshi is a liberal who has been pushed to the sidelines. He naturally resents this as he has been, in his mind, a good soldier.
    He must have almost swallowed his tongue when bongo announced in Calgary two days ago that even if the NEB announces it’s support for Energy East he (bongo) may not support it. Huh? It’s their policy (librano) and THEY wont support it?
    Ok I get it…..

  15. He sounds like a b1tchy girl.
    Indeed!
    Is he gay or just pretending to be, in order to boost his street cred?
    Not that there would be anything wrong with the former of course.

  16. Nenshi doesn’t know whether to sh*t or wind his watch. His future political fortune is inextricably tied to the failing economy and it pains him that he isn’t able to carry on business as usual spewing as a saintly enviro. To him, it’s like selling his soul or now turning around in the current. He’s been forced to take on the grown-up position but not before one more petulant tantrum.

  17. // But there must have been others in the room who saw the outburst. //
    Outburst??
    Remember, you were watching this on Ezra Levant’s vehicle, where fizzing over is the norm.
    This was more of an irritated grimace.

  18. Nenshi makes Borat Obozo look like a man of Rinocerous skin. When men quit being men, and allow themselves to be neutered by the press and eivirokooks here are the results, dopey limp wristed mayors dopey women premiers, and really really dopey PM’s, good luck Canada, in dopes we trust I guess.

  19. Good discussion thread on The Rebel on this one. I find it hard to believe that Nenshi would pick the right side of this issue. The issue being whether oil production is good or bad for our society. He almost sounds realistic.

  20. Well so much for all that lefy inclusiveness and tolerance. Typical adolescent Prog. I don’t trust Nenshi nor believe a word he spews, especially when it comes to standing up for Alberta and Albertans.

  21. I don’t know anything about his mayorness … but reading the comments here, he appears to be a gay Muslim man. I am really curious how he reconciles THAT ?

  22. I read through all that tripe … about “angry white RIGHT WING men” … and was fascinated that such an insightful journalist has apparently missed the “angry white LEFT WING men” who are ditching Hillary Clinton to vote for an angry white commie man ? The writer might want to revise his entire premise and conclusion.

  23. After watching his speech to “Command Central” yesterday, I thought he did a good job and hit some issues that seem to be overlooked by the denizens of our pipeline obstructionist provinces & cities. However, I noted: “Why is the Mayor of Calgary doing a speech that the Premier of Alberta should be doing?

  24. I think Nenshi was angry because he is in a position where he needs to support the pipeline — ideologically he would probably prefer not to. Lots of people get angry when they have been hiding their heads in the sand and suddenly are forced to confront reality. Unfortunately, a lot on the left can continue to live in La la land — that includes Trudeau.

  25. Good strategy, but the left does not think that way. It IS a left/right thing because the left has made it so. This probably makes Nenshi uncomfortable — knowing the left is out of touch and the right is more in touch with reality.

  26. Yep. Trudeau goes to Alberta. No announcement of extended EI, no pipeline announcement, no funding for projects. Nothing. What was the point of the trip? PR.
    Just use Skype next time, Trudeau. Save us a bundle.

  27. Nenshi is going to be running for Prime Minister one day. Frightening thought. Arrogance personified.

  28. Alberta companies should do all they can to only buy supplies, etc., from Alberta companies. If they are typically buying in Ontario or Quebec, they should stop doing so if they can. Spread the pain. As for “job creation” by the provincial NDP, the greatest job creation program they could announce is their resignation and a provincial election.

  29. Nenshi still lives with mommy,she must have taken the vowels out of his Alphabits this morning

  30. Wake up Canada!! Watch carefully! The CBC was there on one side and the CTV on the other!!
    He his under the spell of Trudebt and Co.!! He had to perform!

  32. I’ve got it.
    the be all and end all solution to all the political discourse and wrangling here in Canuckistan.
    we need a Hissyfit Party to basically clarify things.
    No need to second guess or wade through ideological differences.
    Everything else still works just fine.
    I nominate Nenshi for leader.

    Famine? Wait for it. Coming soon to a province near you.
    Brought to you by all the girls (sorry Kate): Shannon, Kathleen, Catherine, Christy and Justine.
    We are in HUGE trouble.

  34. I was born in the city of the foothills, where the Elbow meets the Bow, in 1949, but I would be ashamed to admit that these days. I still have relatives living there, and they really don’t know what to think of the guy, but he sure ain’t Ralph!
