Nenshi 'race card' tweet by W. Brett Wilson prompts boycott call from comedian Andrew Phung


This week, responding to an assertion that Nenshi's 2017 win represented Calgarians' endorsement of the Green Line project, Wilson tweeted: "No. Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi called the tweet by W. Brett Wilson regarding his last election win was a cheap insult. "I posted a thoughtless and inflammatory tweet about the 2017 Calgary municipal election that upset Mayor Nenshi and many others," Wilson wrote. Speaking Thursday during a news conference, Nenshi brought up Wilson's comments when referencing the challenges of handling casual racism in the community. Wilson says he has many concerns about the Green Line, including rising cost-per-kilometre since it was proposed, its alignment and its ridership forecasts.
