🇨🇦 Nenshi wraps himself in the flag while federal NDP torches Alberta's economy

Naheed Nenshi wants you to believe his pro-Canada campaign is above partisanship — powered by the NDP, but not really NDP, he insists with a straight face. Meanwhile, his federal counterpart Avi Lewis openly attacks Alberta's oil and gas sector, the very economic engine that funds the Confederation Nenshi claims to defend. The cognitive dissonance is staggering. Orange federalism only works when you keep the eco-radicals out of frame.

Nenshi admits consulting Brexit and Quebec referendum strategists, treating Smith's referendum like an existential threat. But here's what he won't say: if Ottawa hadn't spent decades treating Alberta like an ATM while strangling its energy sector with regulatory sabotage, separatism wouldn't have traction. Wrapping yourself in the Maple Leaf doesn't erase the NDP's role in building the resentment now fueling the Yes side.
