I wonder if the NDP thinks Nenshi would make more people in Calgary vote for them. Because Nenshi's appeal is very love him or hate him (usually depending on city quadrant), and I suspect the people who voted for him in Calgary vote NDP anyways.
His protégé and successor Jyoti Gondek is generally seen as a complete failure of a Mayor, but to be fair Nenshi is a much stronger public speaker than her so her failures likely won't impact his future success.

Everything else, it’s taking the penalties that exist for IRL hate speech and applying it to online hate speech.
Not Three Laws compliant.
