US Edition‘People Are Really Angry’: NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi Says Separatism Talk Turning Voters Off Conservatives
- A provincial byelection occurred in Alberta this week with Naheed Nenshi winning Edmonton-Strathcona and Tara Sawyer securing Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills.
- This election followed a year of political polarization exposing growing urban-rural fault lines and frustrations with federal policies and separatist talk.
- Nenshi won with 78.5 percent support, emphasizing accessible health care, education, workers’ rights, and condemning separatism while Sawyer won 67.9 percent in a rural stronghold.
- Separatist candidates finished last in all contests, earning under 18 percent even in separatist-friendly ridings, signaling weak appetite for independence despite nearly 30 percent polled support.
- The results maintain NDP control of Edmonton seats, confirm UCP rural dominance, and suggest Alberta’s future debates must avoid partisan tribalism to address shared concerns on jobs and fairness.
