Ex-Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi joins NDP leadership race
Former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi came out of political retirement on Monday, announcing a run for Alberta's NDP leadership to challenge what he termed an “immoral” United Conservative government.
"This government is like nothing I've ever seen before,” Nenshi told The Canadian Press in an interview prior to the announcement.
“They're not only incompetent. They're dangerous and they're immoral.”
Nenshi, 52, was elected mayor of Calgary in 2010 and won three terms before deciding to bow out before the 2021 municipal election.
