Alberta Premier Danielle Smith (UPC) faces a new challenge: Naheed Nenshi, the popular former mayor of Calgary. Nenshi came out of political retirement to lead the NDP, driven by his strong opposition to Smith’s policies. Nenshi has called the UPC government “immoral” and “dangerous,” saying it is “a government that punches down on vulnerable people.”
UCP claims they are not concerned about Nenshi but has nonetheless launched attack ads against him. #Canada #politics 🇨🇦
