Naheed Nenshi could still lead the NDP into the next provincial election. But the political iceberg he’s now facing is starting to take on Titanic proportions.

Time must be running out for the Opposition leader, given the ruling Tories continue to poll well ahead despite a continuous litany of missteps by the UCP government. 

How much more ammunition does Nenshi need to force Premier Danielle Smith’s lot onto the back foot? He’s been served a smorgasbord of issues to hold those government feet to the fire. Yet, here we are, much closer to the next election than the previous one, with the UCP still firm favourites among Albertans

We’ve witnessed health-care scandals, a teachers’ strike, book banning rows, a massive budget shortfall and now a huge ruckus about the leak of Albertans’ personal data by a separatist outfit with ties to the Tories. Yet, the Opposition still trails the government by a double-digit margin, according to recent polls.
