Nenshi critical of Alberta bill giving extra powers over municipalities
April 26, 2024
Former Calgary mayor and current NDP leadership candidate Naheed Nenshi says the Alberta government is operating out of spite with a bill that would grant it sweeping powers over municipalities, including the right to fire councillors, overturn bylaws and postpone elections.The proposed law would also allow political parties to run on municipal ballots in Edmonton and Calgary as soon as next year.“It’s so crazy. It’s very clear that this government is now operated on spite and arrogance,” Nenshi told reporters in Lethbridge on Thursday evening.
