Evan's pretty on point with his column, but I'd like to add a few thoughts. 🧵. First, the NDP are *invisible.* You barely see any messaging, and most of the messaging you do is Nenshi-centric. In 2023, the NDP were doing pension town halls. Now? Nothing. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli.
With these new Abacus numbers, time for me to re-up my column last week: Naheed Nenshi’s leadership of the NDP has been a fucking disaster and it’s time we say so in public as opposed to tap dancing around it —>

Meanwhile, this same performer is currently slated to perform at the Alberta Legislature Grounds bandshell late next month. I doubt Alberta's government will act as responsibly. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli.
This is the right move. No civic or government funded or supported facility should support any performer who espouses hate or prejudice.

This is rich, especially when Alberta's government ran an immigration campaign for 3 years in a row (2022-2025) and where Danielle Smith explicitly told the Shaun Newman podcast that she wanted to increase Alberta's pop. to 10 million. Amazing hypocrisy. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli.
The Alberta government calling out the federal government on immigration,saying the arrival of sponsored parents and grandparents will further burder health care, education, etc, and blaming "Ottawa’s reckless immigration policies."

Also, as if it's impossible to imagine that Alberta got in the way of the town & the Feds. Between $70M worth of garbage cold medicine, and forcing policies like municipal political parties & a provincial police force, Alberta has a track record for getting in the way.

This is what I didn't get about how Smith responded today to the Jasper 2024 Wildfire report. She's usually pretty shrewd, but this just looks bad for her, particularly when it's firefighters & first responders who critiqued the AB government. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli.

So much for staying in your own lane and respecting jurisdictions, I guess. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli.
A new report on the wildfire that tore through Jasper reveals that while local crews and Parks Canada worked in coordination, the Alberta government’s involvement complicated the response. Commissioned by the town and based on input from firefighters and responders, the report
