Naheed Nenshi

Naheed Nenshi, Calgary's 36th mayor from 2010 to 2021, has been a focal point of Rebel News's investigative journalism. Our comprehensive coverage spans his mayoral tenure and his subsequent ascent to the leadership of the Alberta New Democratic Party (NDP).

During his time as mayor, Nenshi's interactions with China attracted significant attention. In a 2019 report, we highlighted a video where Nenshi, addressing a Communist official in Beijing, stated, "We have a lot to learn from you." Further investigations revealed extensive correspondence between Nenshi and the Chinese Consulate in Calgary, including warnings to avoid contact with Tibetan officials.

Nenshi's policy choices often sparked debate. In 2019, he approved funding for 20 new electric vehicle charging stations in Calgary, a decision that raised questions about fiscal priorities in an oil-centric region. Additionally, his administration faced criticism for commissioning modern art installations, such as the Bowfort Towers, which some residents viewed as extravagant expenditures.

In June 2024, Nenshi transitioned to provincial politics, securing the leadership of the Alberta NDP with 86% of the vote on the first ballot. This move marked a significant shift in his political trajectory, positioning him as a central figure in Alberta's political landscape.

Rebel News continues to monitor Nenshi's political activities, providing in-depth analysis of his policies and their implications for Albertans. Our commitment to investigative journalism ensures that the public remains informed about the actions of influential political figures.
