Former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi appeared at a rally over the weekend, calling out Premier Danielle Smith for her recently-announced policies on pronouns and parents rights, Sex Ed, and Trans women in sport. It's got people wondering if the winner of the 2014 World Mayor Prize might be gearing up for an Alberta NDP leadership run. If that is the case, it's safe to suggest Nenshi would immediately be seen as a formidable candidate. But is he a good fit?
6:04 | Charles Adler tells us why he thinks a Nenshi leadership run would be the most interesting political story in Canada. (Plus, Ryan, Chuck, and Johnny recap the top stories from the 2024 Grammy Awards and pick their Super Bowl winners.)
50:27 | Shauna Feth has her eye on Alberta business. The president and CEO of the Alberta Chambers of Commerce takes us into new Labour Market Information (LMI) research insights, tees up Alberta Budget 2024, explains why ACC is lobbying the province to drop the Insurance Premium Tax, and tells us about a couple upcoming events.
