The UCP make a very valid point: The NDP executive (its board of directors, if you will), is chockablock full of unionists and activists.
That was the NDP’s pattern when they were the government between 2015 and 2019.
The official response from the NDP and unions was aghast and outraged. Then insist everything was on the up-and-up. Despite the disappearance of the NDP executives’ bios from the web, the UCP identified at least five people who are executives with the Alberta Federation of Labour and with the NDP. I’m not sure those connections make the online ad campaigns paid by big unions illegal under Alberta campaign-finance law, as the UCP alleges. If an ad doesn’t directly attack one party or endorse another, it’s probably OK.
