Two prominent Alberta politicians from the left-wing New Democratic Party are set to host a Halloween drag event to raise funds for the party under its new leadership.
The event, scheduled for Oct. 26 and titled "Night of the Living Drag 2: Janis and Brooks' 2nd Annual HallowQueer Fundraiser," aims to raise funds for the NDP under its new pro-LGBTQ+ and pro-abortion leader Naheed Nenshi, who is vying to become the next premier of Alberta.

The event is hosted by Members of the Alberta Legislative Assembly Janis Irwin and Brooks Arcand-Paul of Edmonton.
"Hey boo-tiful, Janis Irwin and Brooks Arcand-Paul would love to see you at their second annual Night of the Living Drag fundraiser. Start planning your costumes, and get ready to kiki with ghosts, witches, and fabulous local drag artists and special guest performers," Alberta NDP wrote on their announcement in their official website. "Event is 18+ and capacity is limited. Get your ticket now!"
The party will feature drag performances, special guest artists and a lively atmosphere, with attendees encouraged to show off their best costumes.
"Night of the Living Drag 2!" Irwin posted on his official account on X. "@sipiysis and I are back for our annual fundraiser on Saturday, October 26th! Featuring incredible local drag artists, special guest appearances, and YOU! Start planning your costumes and get ready to kiki with all of us!"
Nenshi to push hardline progressive agenda if elected as Alberta's premier
Nenshi, who took over leadership from Rachel Notley earlier this year, is ramping up efforts to expand the NDP's influence in the province by continuing his liberal, pro-LGBTQ+ stance. He has a long history of supporting progressive stances.
In 2011, he made history as the first mayor of Calgary, the province's largest city, to serve as a grand marshal for a Pride Parade. He spent the entire parade seated on top of an open-topped red Ford Mustang sporting a purple T-shirt printed with the words "Straight Not Narrow."
Since then, Nenshi has proudly supported the LGBTQ+ community as an ally. "It really says that you don't have to be a part of a community in order to support that community," said Nenshi.
Up until now, Nenshi has been showing his support for the LGBTQ+ community, while challenging the stance of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's United Conservative Party on social issues.
The NDP has been vocally critical of Smith's pro-family policies, particularly those that strengthen parental rights and limit access to gender-affirming care for minors. The party also criticized the new legislation that would curb "extreme forms" of transgender ideology, including banning minors from undergoing gender transition surgeries. Nenshi and the NDP view these stance as discriminatory and harmful to the LGBTQ+ individuals.
