The Destroyers: Rachel Notley and the NDP s War on Alberta is essential reading for anyone trying to understand Alberta s new government. Jam-packed with original research, The Destroyers meticulously documents the radical background of key NDP ministers, MLAs and staff, painting a shocking picture of a group of fringe extremists who were accidentally swept into power in May of 2015, without proper vetting. Notley s NDP are not here to govern Alberta, or to lead it. They re here to transform it, to terminate all of the Alberta qualities that they ve been railing against on picket lines and in protests for decades its culture of entrepreneurialism, its prosperous oil and gas industry, and its culture of freedom. That s why the book is called The Destroyers. And that s why everyone in the province should read this quick, fact-packed book, to make sense of the madness.
