Having overthrown the generational yoke of Progressive Conservative oppression, the most powerful politicians in Alberta unveiled their new club T-shirt: Notley Iveson Nenshi — Premier Rachel Notley, and mayors Don Iveson and Naheed Nenshi — their initials, NIN, emblazoned in white on a black T-shirt modelled after the industrial band Nine Inch Nails.

The group’s most famous songs, Hurt and Closer (F— You Like an Animal), are thematically appropriate, given what the province’s taxpayers are going to feel during the next four years.
