Hi, I’m Naheed Nenshi. I’m running to be the leader of Alberta’s NDP and the next premier of this province.

We can do this. Together. For Alberta. For all of us.
In an 8-1 ruling the AL Supreme Court has ruled that embryos are children.
The ruling effectively gives the same legal standing belonging to born persons, to embryos. Stating that the "wrongful death of a minor act" applies to embryos.

A 🧵 on #AIDS in the 80s/90s:
I was 15 when I first had sex with a man.
I’d snuck off to London’s Heaven nightclub with the express intent of ridding myself of my ‘gay virginity’, a goal I achieved easily with a visiting American photographer.

ALT A black and white photo of me at 17. I’m leaning over a chair wearing a baggy grey jumper. My hair is awesome.
Explain to me how my mom shut my legs and fingers in car doors MULTIPLE times in my childhood and I managed to raise E to 16 and have never. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Feeling cute. Won’t delete later. 🤪 Slow day at the store but still a great day to be alive. How was YOUR day? Also, don’t you LOVE my earrings from @maiden_alberta that I got for Christmas? #selfietime#retaillife#feelingcute#thisis48
Who knew that Lacombe had delicious ramen? Now I do! We went to Oishudesu tonight for takeout. So yummy that we will be back soon! #lacombeeats#centralalbertaeats
I am zero for two for direct @WestJet fights so far. Both have been cancelled last minute for much longer flights. So now instead of getting to Toronto at 9:30pm, I am getting there are 12:45am. That 9 am appointment tomorrow morning is going to suck. Sigh. So annoyed. 😑
There’s nothing worse than being a Chemical Engineer who hasn’t done chemical engineering in at least 24 years when your kid is taking Chem 20. Why yes I am learning it all again. 😬😬😬🤪🤪🤪
So happy with how my store is coming together. We are closed for January for inventory, store refresh and a trip to the Toronto Gift Show. We are almost ready for opening. #merrysmercantile#shoplocal#centralAlberta
Woke up at 7:40….oh no! The house is dark. Did E miss the bus? Yell downstairs once, twice, finally the third time he comes out of his room. You didn’t get up! You missed the bus! What? We don’t have school today. What? What?
It’s a PD day. Ooopsie. 🤦♀️
