Just say 'no' to Nenshi
The megalomaniacal former Calgary mayor would make a poor choice for Alberta NDP leader
CALGARY — The race to succeed Rachel Notley as Alberta NDP leader is heating up, with three high-profile MLAs announcing runs over the past week. Yet the biggest name cited as a possible contender for the job, former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi, remains on the sidelines for now.
Nenshi, who’s never been formally affiliated with the party, said at the start of the month that he’d been “listening to a lot of pitches” from NDP insiders and other Albertans about entering race.

The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.
Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.
Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.
But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.
We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
