Naheed Nenshi, Leader of Alberta’s New Democrats, issued the following statement regarding the federal election results:
“Congratulations to Mark Carney on his victory, and to all the newly elected MPs across Canada.
“It’s now time to set aside the divisive battles and come together to serve Canada in a time when the nation is under existential threat.
“For Alberta, this means working together with the new federal government to make deals that benefit Albertans.
“Canadians are tired of endless political fighting. Spending millions on a Fair Deal panel or squabbling over plastic straws doesn’t lower grocery bills, make insurance affordable, or create sustainable jobs.
“This is no time to gamble with the future of the province.
“We need a federal government that understands the economic and social significance of Alberta. We need a government that doesn’t just pay lip service to supporting our major industries—including agriculture and energy—but one that pursues real solutions to
improve the lives of Albertans.
“This means getting national projects built, like Alberta’s New Democrats did when we were in power. It means regulations that support Alberta industry and jobs, while continuing to fight climate change meaningfully.
“And it means making a deal on health care, pharmacare, dental care, and childcare that helps Albertans get the services they desperately need.”
