This isn’t an April Fool’s joke. I wish it was. Last week our Premier spent taxpayer money to fly to Florida and share a stage with MAGA influencers. Patriotic Canadians are boycotting travel to the U.S.A. because of Trump’s trade war. But not one single UCP MLA has called Danielle out for her fool’s errand to Florida. Danielle spoke alongside Ben Shapiro, who’s called Canada a “silly country.” He laughed at Canadians’ concerns about annexation. And he said calling our Prime Minister “Governor” of the 51st state was “hilarious.” “I’m not saying Canadians should vote in American elections, God forbid, or something,” Shapiro said on his podcast. “I mean we can annex it and then just call it an outlying territory or something. Puerto Rico, but of the north.” Defending our country is no joke. But Danielle Smith and the UCP clearly don’t have the best interests of Albertans—or Canadians—at heart. Now more than ever we need to spread our message that better leadership is possible. If you’re on Team Canada, chip in. Danielle spoke alongside Shapiro at a $1,500 per ticket fundraiser for PragerU, a producer of far right American “educational” material. That’s not putting Alberta, or Canada, first. And it’s no laughing matter. What’s truly foolish is Danielle still thinks she can spin her traitorous actions as if she’s doing all this for Alberta. She’s actually undermining us. Our Premier is siding with Trump over her own country, and we need to come together to stop her. Never has more been at stake. It’s time to fight for Alberta’s future like we’ve never fought before. We deserve a Premier and a government in Alberta who’s on Team Canada, because we bring a lot to the national table. We can win better. But only with your strong support. Thank you. Naheed   Naheed K. Nenshi Leader Alberta NDP
