^Nenshi likely to run in that riding.

I highly doubt it. A big part of his appeal was his Calgary roots, which he is very proud of, and the hope that he could pull more votes from that city. He’s mostly likely to run in the Northeast Calgary riding where he grew up.

I am not speculating. This is already well known in political circles which is why I'm sharing. It's why Rachel stepped down, and it gets him in the legislature. Next election in 2 years he can run in Calgary.

The problem is most of the Calgary NDP MLAs are new. Usually it is a long serving MLA who steps down to make way for a new leader to run in a fairly safe seat that doesn't have to close to where the new leader lives or eventually want to run. Oh, wait a minute - doesn't this sound a lot like what just happened?

Joe Ceci's been around for 10 years now in the legislature (following a pretty lengthy run as an alderman), and he's not really a young man anymore, either. I could see him giving up his safe seat for Nenshi, perhaps.

I was skeptical as well, but Nenshi has said he might actually do it: https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/12...esky&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial

In a year-end interview for The Tyee last week, Nenshi talked openly about running in the capital city: “I’m certainly willing to look at Edmonton, because I split my time between the two cities, and quite frankly, I think it’d be good for me to learn more about Edmonton.”

Let's see how the NDP fares in Lethbridge West

Lethbridge-West byelection first true test of Nenshi leadership, expert says

Wednesday’s byelection in Lethbridge-West will act as a litmus test for the Alberta NDP’s new leader, a political scientist estimates. The vote will fill a vacancy created this summer when the NDP’s Shannon Phillips resigned. Phillips held Lethbridge-West since 2015, winning it again last year...

It was a real stupid move by the UCP to support it in the first place. But, this kills off any chance for Smith to relocate herself to Palm Beach and Governor the State of Alberta while golfing at Mar-a-Lago.

I am very nervous about the Lethbridge by election. I hear the misinformation is strong in Alberta hinterlands.

Need an NDP win.

Had a guy who works in her sector come into our office yesterday. I made a comment about something to do with his work and his response to me was "She's an awful leader and a PoS human being".

Says a lot when the people who "work under her" can't stand her.
