Dave O’Brien of The Winnipeg Free Press writes a great editorial about the Mayor’s new hire who happens to be a friend of his.

By all accounts, Sheegl knows nothing about any of those things. Councillors who questioned him at a private seminar after he was hired say he seemed out of his depth and displayed little knowledge about the complexity of large cities. In fact, some of his answers, including his view that unused heritage buildings in the downtown should be razed to make way for more surface parking, were alarming to those present.

There’s a great discussion about this illness here.
