Today on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel is joined by Rachel Notley’s former executive director of communication and planning, Cheryl Oates, to discuss the Alberta NDP leadership race.

Oates says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is an “expert communicator” and the NDP need someone who can compete with her.

The two also discuss Naheed Nenshi, the former Calgary mayor who joined the race this week, and is already attacking Smith.

Also on the show, at least one candidate has promised to scrap the carbon tax, which Oates says the policy is “poison” in Alberta right now.
