Former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi confirmed Monday he will seek the leadership of Alberta’s New Democrats, changing the trajectory of the race to replace Rachel Notley.Former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi, known for his 'purple' brand of politics, entered the race to replace former Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley on Monday.
He said too many Albertans can't find doctors, classrooms are overcrowded, and he suggested the UCP can only "pick fights and waste money." "I think everyone's been talking about this for quite a while. I guess now it's official," Hoffman said. "I've never felt more excited or hopeful about my campaign. And I think he will make a great second place candidate."
"I want to bring back an era of optimism, a sense that the NDP stands for a better Alberta, an Alberta for all of us, which is my campaign line," he said. "I truly believe Smith is an existential threat to our province. There's never been anyone like her in power in Alberta before. We simply have no idea what she will do as premier, and that scares me more than a few years of a potentially not-great NDP government," Nenshi wrote.
"Premier Smith, I want you to understand that votes aren't worth a few dead kids," Nenshi told the rally.
