The UCP has come out swinging at new Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi in a series of attack ads.
The UCP has come out swinging at new Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi in a series of attack ads.
In one of the television ads, posted to the party's YouTube channel, Nenshi is pegged as "Justin Trudeau's choice for Alberta."
It then shows a picture of Nenshi about to embrace the prime minister for a hug, with a voiceover saying, "That's Nenshi helping Justin Trudeau defeat Stephen Harper in the 2015 federal election."
The ad goes on to say, "We've had enough of Trudeau in Ottawa, we don't need one in Alberta. Naheed Nenshi, Trudeau's choice for Alberta."
The attack ads come on the heels of Nenshi securing 86 per cent of Alberta NDP membership votes last weekend, during the leadership convention.
"This was not surprising at all," said political scientist Duane Bratt at Mount Royal University.
"Nenshi has been laying fire against Smith, and now that he's the new leader, they're returning fire."
