A vote for Nenshi is a vote for Singh

Carbon tax's, dental care and drug injection sites included


The second line of the provincial NDP constitution states:

“The Party shall constitute a section of the New Democratic Party of Canada.”

The Liberals, backed by their billion-dollar propaganda machine, are waging a psychological operation to convince Canadians that tariffs are an act of war and that enduring economic hardship is their patriotic duty to fight "modern Hitler."

Mark Carney claims it’s "1938 in Canada," invoking the specter of World War II. Meanwhile, Chrystia Freeland openly suggests that Trump’s tariffs justify forming a nuclear alliance with the UK and France against America. But Trump is not the real threat. The same people conditioning Canadians to equate economic pain with patriotism have spent a decade eroding national sovereignty and dismantling the economy in service of an international socialist order led by China....
