The federal New Democrats are eyeing Alberta's urban-rural divide as a way to flip blue seats in the next general election. Leader Jagmeet Singh's recent visit to Edmonton is part of a shift in the party's approach that will have him spend more time in fewer places as a way to deepen connections with people in certain regions of Canada.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Leader Jagmeet Singh's recent visit to Edmonton is part of a shift in the party's approach that will have him spend more time in fewer places as a way to deepen connections with people in certain regions of Canada.

She believes Alberta's recent provincial election shows voters in the urban Prairies are rejecting politicians who peddle conspiracy theories, talk about the World Economic Forum and bash the media.

They claim the forum is fronting a global cabal of string-pullers who exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to dismantle capitalism and to introduce damaging socialist systems and social control measures.

The New Democrats recently launched a fundraising campaign called the "Blue-Orange Battleground Fund" in an effort to help them turn constituencies from blue to orange.

Heather McPherson, member of Parliament for Edmonton Strathcona, said the NDP brand is stronger after Alberta's general election, but she acknowledges there's a lot work to do before voters head to the polls.

Under the party's confidence-and-supply agreement with the Liberals, the NDP pushed for affordability initiatives including dental care, a one-time rental supplement and the doubling of the GST rebate.
