The Alberta NDP also shared a screen-grab of a 2018 letter rejecting Khan as a UCP nominee for the constituency of Calgary-North East. In the letter, then-party executive director Janice Harrington refers to a video he allegedly shared that labels the Holocaust a hoax.

$1.2B deal reached on Calgary arena project that replaces Saddledome — mostly with public funds

Sounds like Communism.

"You know, I would have loved for it to have been done months ago, but I think it is pretty clear that this is an important decision. It's a big amount of money," Smith said.

"We wanted to make sure that it could be debated during the election, and we'd hoped we'd be able to get a mandate from the people of Calgary to go ahead with it."

Oh wait, it's just the obvious pre-election bribe. 'Vote for us or it won't happen, Calgary'.
