I'm predicting a huge and vague misinformation campaign from the UCP

[Bigtime]

Well shoot, I feel sorry for the Orange Julius Marlborough Manager. He'll be scrambling to fill that assistant manager position now!

Will be buying my first ever NDP/political party membership too.

I wonder why he didn't mention the CPP grab in his list of grievances- It seems the be the main thing conservative voters agree is a no go

Braid: Ex-Mayor Nenshi joins NDP race; slams Smith's 'playground fights'

In the interview Nenshi praised the other official leadership candidates (MLAs Kathleen Ganley, Sarah Hoffman, Rakhi Pancholi and Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse, and labour leader Gil McGowan.)

But he was hotly critical of Smith, even moving his comparisons from playgrounds to the big screen.

Her fights with Liberal Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault, Nenshi says, are like “Godzilla vs. Mothra — two monsters you don’t particularly like, and we’re the ones who suffer. I think we need some grown-ups in the room on both sides here.”

Agreed, however there will be show much mud it will be difficult to keep the waters clear and a large number of Albertans will fall for the misinformation

Oh come on! Give them some credit! That would never happen. How dumb do you think Albertans are?

I get tired of this narrative.

We voted Nenshi in as Mayor for over a decade.

Sometimes candidates have to take responsibility for their own shortcomings.

Those voters are as dumb as bricks. This is WAYYY too far out to have an effect.

You need to hit these deplorable lemmings about 7-10 days before the election.

If you voted for Danielle Smith you are an idiot and dumb.

We should take away their driver's licenses.

I would give Nenshi the Same Advice I would give Notley.

Drink fracking cum on live TV. Albertans want a leader who is 100% behind Oil and Gas. He can't talk from both sides of his mouth. Yeah support green initiatives, yeah invest in renewables, but Albertans will not vote for a leader who would not die to keep O and G strong.

wut

[Hack&Lube]

Nenshi is not perfect, and he spent years gridlocked by the misguided maneuvers of guys like Farkas who have now repented.

But it's time to take back the province and have it run by a sane candidate that isn't our version of Marjorie Taylor-Green/Boebert who harp insanity talking points and who don't believe in science.

Support Oil & Gas 100%, but not with a side of bananas.

That quote is 100% true. I think the UCP and the federal Liberal party suck, albeit in differing amounts and for different reasons. But the #### they decide is important, so I'd like at least someone at the table to not be a god-damned idiot.

[GirlySports]

Curious where Nenshi stands on the NDP's issues. For example Ganley is touting a minimum wage increase to $17, raise the min provincial income tax bracket to $26K, overhauling the AER, etc...

Can he win on name recognition alone?
