Reply to comment by girlfreddyf in Calgary conservatives plotted to entrap and oust, Mayor Nenshi in “big store con” scheme by HotPomelo

If they are like US Conservatives they will respond with "It's really the liberals/left-leaning people's fault", or "but the left does this too" with made-up or out of context examples. If neither of those work, then it has to be "fake news" or "well x deserved it anyway". Conservatives are past the point where admitting fault is an option.

All true. There's also a fair chance at least some of this sting was based on Nenshi being Muslim and Brown too. If he'd been "caught" it would've fed the racist beast that consumes Canadian conservatives rn.

I can't help but be proud of Nenshi and his moral code. Too bad every politician didn't look to him for inspiration.
