Naheed Nenshi sagt, die föderale NDP habe keinen Einfluss in Alberta

I mean we got a seat in Parliament, that’s not nothing.

Looking forward to years of Nenshi only ever making news when he’s trying to tell voters about how disgusted he is with the brand attached to all his election signs.

Here is Mr Nenshi’s actual reply, which is focussed on Alberta. 

> Naheed Nenshi: Every day the premier is focused on talking about Section 73, Subsection 2, Subsection 4B7 of the federal NDP Constitution is a great day for Albertans because it’s a day she can’t do more damage to Albertans. She’s grasping at straws here. The conservative governments with all their bluster and all their talk have managed to build precisely zero miles of pipeline to tidewater in the last 73 years. It was Rachel Notley and the New Democrats, over the objections of the federal New Democrats, that actually got a pipeline built with the Trans Mountain expansion. What she’s really nervous about is that last week I actually released what I call the “First Look at the Alberta New Democrat Energy Plan.” I really encourage people to go take a look at it. I really would be interested in your feedback on it. But what we’re talking about is actually getting stuff built, which is what we know how to do at a time of enormous global uncertainty. Anyone who’s been to the pumps knows the price of gas has gone up 40 cents a liter in one month, with no gas tax relief from this government. At these times the world is showing that even in an energy transition, even as we’re fighting climate, there’s still a need for fossil fuels. The world is hungry for safe, clean, convenient, reliable sources of fuel, sources of energy, which I happen to believe is the most potent poverty fighting tool we have in the world today. If we don’t supply that, they’re going to get it from somewhere else. It’s not like suddenly emissions will go down. Our job is to figure out how to get that market access done. We’ve released this energy platform that we want people’s feedback on, which looks at a whole bunch of things. The premier only looks at crude oil pipelines. We do talk about that. We talk about how probably the best candidate for a west coast pipeline is one we don’t hear much about. It’s actually one that goes to the south coast of British Columbia following the Trans Mountain right of way, which is already there for much of its length. We talk about optimizing the current Trans Mountain expansion that Rachel Notley helped build for another 300,000 barrels a day. Then we talk about other projects.

Hate to say this sort of thing, but it’s a simple reality in regards to winning elections — he probably needs to learn to speak more in soundbites 

Nenshi’a cruising towards a loss. Encouraging conflict between different segments of the NDP won’t win him the votes he desires
