Naheed Nenshi denounces new federal NDP leader Avi Lewis
Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck also joined the growing rift between the federal NDP and its provincial counterparts
Right out of the gate, Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi is throwing cold water on the newly elected leader of the federal NDP, Avi Lewis, claiming that it’s a sign the federal party doesn’t have the interest of Alberta in mind.
Nenshi claimed Lewis “openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government” and stood in the way of energy development.
“It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta,” wrote Nenshi in a social media post on Sunday.
