The silence of Mr. Nenshi, who I thought held so much promise a year ago is deafening and discouraging. Attempts to contact him or the party have also resulted in crickets?
The magpie premier needs to know by the leader of the opposition that her catering to the 0.03% of Albertans who supported her ongoing leadership is not acceptable, I thought and hoped Naheed would be the person to do so?
You, Major Tom orbiting in outer space. The magpie would-be premier who will never be is Nenshi. I hope there is a vast number of NDP'ers ( No Democracy Party ) who misread the Alberta situation so totally. That would guarantee UCP in power for some years yet.
There is a lot of wishful thinking here. If the NDP had plans or a gripping narrative, they would not at present be depending on emotional appeals or the appeal of assumptions, gossip and innuendo. Nattering at Harper when he was the leader got the left elections in Canada, but now even left voters realize that Canada did very well in the Harper era. Given events, possibly this is not the time to try the same tactic against Smith. The UCP have the NDP beat on community and mutual help, as the NDP are positioning Alberta as a divided place and therefore the mutual help thing sounds hollow. No doubt a few quotes can be found if needed. Making things unduly personal might not cut it, and the NDP have nothing else.

An excellent headline that I am very happy to see: "If Nenshi has a vision of Alberta, he should share it ... soon"
"Smith is getting to run against a leader who refuses to make an affirmative argument for his own existence."
Alberta NDP owns Nenshi and Nenshi owns Alberta NDP. They soooo deserve each other. Total duds both of them.
