@cselley Easily and demonstrably false. Good start under their new leader.

@jenhassum @kinsellawarren The reality is that Mr. Ed Broadbent and Mr. Jack Layton would be embarrassed to see another flag being waved behind the national leader of the party they helped build. This isn't just about conservatives. It's about the fact that the NDP have drifted to the fringe.

@kinsellawarren Thanks Warren. You are smart too, and I get why Conservatives want to engage in flag culture war shit posting instead of talking about the substance of Avi’s opposition to the US-Israeli war. Conservative voters aren’t to keen on it. So ‘there’s no Canadian flag’ is your play.

@Bzubyk This is true in Alberta, too. What Notley had done very well is control the crazy part of the base. They will vote NDP because there is nowhere else to go. Meanwhile, the crazy on the extreme right constantly comes for conservative leaders. Lewis as leader may change things.

The truth is that provincial NDP leaders risk splitting their base by attacking Avi Lewis. No one more so than David Eby. The federal NDP are bat shit crazy but so is a not insignificant part of the NDP provincial base. Those free Palestine rallies aren't populated by conservatives. The crazy public sector unions? NDP base. The view that a repeat violent offender is a victim? Yep, NDP base. Legal drug advocates. You bet your ass they're dippers. Either Eby gives in or the Greens are going to grow.

@LaurieAdkin @nenshi @avilewis @albertaNDP @NDP @CBCCanada This is a good question. Nenshi & Beck in Sask distancing themselves from Lewis is more about political opportunism & a quest for power than it is about party principals. Nenshi released his energy policy on Fri to combat Lewis, not to offer a policy alternative to the UCP.

@AndieWinnipeg @NDP Exactly. He’s trying to distance himself from the federal party, but forgets he’s a late joiner to this group and the roots run deep. I’d be interested in who you define as the “most popular electeds” in attendance at the convention.

Nenshi’s other problem-guess where the most popular elected members of his party were this weekend? At the @NDP convention.

@SPhillipsAB You and Avi worked together for Al Jazeera English. And then you and Premier Notley moved the party to the centre to try and hold on to power in 2019 and 2023. Avi represents what a large portion of the Alberta NDP base believe when it comes to the energy sector.

An accurate assessment of the situation we now find ourselves in. The public interest - and Canada’s interest - is served when we replace the separatist UCP with an Alberta New Democrat government. Nothing can distract from that imperative.
Naheed Nenshi@nenshi

Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader. 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. Last year, Alberta’s New Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make membership in the federal party optional. Many thousands of our provincial members, including myself, are not members of the federal party. We are a big tent and welcome the support of people who vote for every federal party. We believe in Alberta and we believe in Canadian energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions. We believe in strong public services and a strong jobs-driven economy to help pay for them. This is what we are fighting for every day. Albertans deserve federal leaders who understand the importance of Alberta and our essential role in the federation. Our focus is not on what the federal NDP says or does. Our fight is with Danielle Smith and the separatist UCP. Albertans deserve a better government, and we are here to be that better government.

@nenshi So you waited until after the leadership vote to speak up? Interesting. Also, everyone knows you released your so-called pro-energy policy to combat Lewis not the UCP. With friends like these…. Are you NDP or are you something else all together?

@sunlorrie Hilarious that Lewis is fighting with Shannon Phillips when they worked together at Al Jazeera to do a smear job on Alberta’s oil sands. A Lewis win is the worst case for the federal conservatives & Naheed Nenshi who’s trying to convince Albertans the NDP are moderate.

Avi Lewis vows to unify NDP but stands by attacks on Mulcair, former Alberta minister Lewis doubled down on criticisms of former federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, saying he set the party back in pivoting to the right ahead of the 2015 election nationalpost.com/news/canada/av…

@PeggyBevClare Totally Ms. Wright. Of course, your party released your energy plan this week to fight the nonsense coming out of your soon-to-be new federal leader Avi Lewis. This has nothing to do with the UCP. You’re fighting your own team!

It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get the job done. Our energy sector needs strong, competent, steady leadership and that’s exactly what an Alberta NDP government looks like. #ABLeg #ABPoli
Naheed Nenshi@nenshi

When the UCP government creates chaos, Albertans are the ones left paying for it. It’s time to show Albertans, and the rest of the country, what our energy sector can look like under strong, steady, competent leadership. It’s time to build Alberta’s energy future. ⬇️ youtu.be/LRZoRU9pBSs

@FreeAlbertaRob And Gil “I’m totally cool to drive” McGowan was amplifying this rant last night. Good old Gil who stumped for Notley & vice versa when he ran. Yeah…. Not much out of these videos will resonate with your average, working class Albertan who doesn’t share pronouns on the job site.

@nicole58_ @FreeAlbertaRob If your Epcor bill is that high, please check it with some friends. I think you’ve got a terrible deal and there are better options out there.

@CoryBMorgan Mr. Nenshi also released an energy policy yesterday. Why? Not to oppose something the UCP are doing or offer Albertans an alternative. He did it because he knows Avi Lewis is going to win and that Avi has long been about shuttering Alberta’s industry. Mr. Leap Manifesto indeed.

Shouldn't you be at the NDP convention to welcome your new boss into his or her job?
Naheed Nenshi@nenshi

Not a single member of the UCP campaigned as a separatist in the last election. But not a single one signed a pledge this year saying they love Canada and oppose separatism. Now we know why. This is a separatist government and a separatist Premier. They don’t just pander to separatists. Many of them are separatists. It’s time for them to come clean and tell Albertans who they really are and where they really stand. ctvnews.ca/calgary/articl…

@Duckett62 @Bryan_Leitch @SpencerBeach1 @JasonNixonAB Right and Alberta offers the most generous program by far and allows people to work more and keep it before reductions. People criticize AISH but there is no better program in Canada of its kind.

@Bryan_Leitch @SpencerBeach1 @JasonNixonAB I never said I like everything the UCP is doing at all. But don’t think they’re attacking seniors or others. They are making the payments from these programs equal to other provinces & we have no sales tax. Why should Alberta pay more than people get in Toronto or Vancouver?

@JasonC928052 @SpencerBeach1 @JasonNixonAB What about all the losses and financial blunders of this current government? I'm more concerned about their lavish spending. Even while attacking Alberta's most vulnerable, they're still running a 9.4B deficit. What else would you propose? Strip seniors of their pensions too?

@Bryan_Leitch @SpencerBeach1 @JasonNixonAB There are almost 80,000 people on AISH. This isn’t practical. Again, not sure how it’s punishing people by reserving the program for those who absolutely cannot work, & connecting people who can work to the workforce, while paying higher monthly amounts than anywhere in Canada.

@JasonC928052 @SpencerBeach1 @JasonNixonAB How would I tighten up the program? Maybe bring back case workers and have them actually visit their clients once in a while to look for red flags. There are many ways without punishing the most vulnerable in our society.
