Oh no - I uploaded a video so I have to break the thread:
Jk says 1400 people attended the virtual AGM.
He says his caucus the best group he’s ever worked with even though he was also part of Harper’s cabinet.

Jason Kenney speaking style #UCPAGM2020
Telling a story about David Thompson who explored and mapped Alberta. It wouldn’t have been possible without the help of his Métis wife.
Reading some quotes. Said Thompson was overwhelmed by the mountains and how to get to the west coast

JK: we face obstacles with the pandemic and economic issues. Like Thompson we don’t have a map but with principles, like personal responsibility and care for the vulnerable, we will make it through.
Think of the hundreds of thousands of Albertans here by choice

Erin O’Toole is back to chat with the #UCPAGM2020 crowd. As soon as he stops talking about himself, I believe he’s going to do a Q&A.
He says if you’d have said “Wexit” five years ago, people would have looked at you funny. But says this is what 5yrs of Liberals gets you:

EOT “only in Canada would we want to put people on the CERB rather than putting people back to work.”
Says Canada shut down the pandemic early warning system and had to rely on “open data from China”.

EOT says Canada got everything wrong with pandemic response. Says Kenney has done far better than Ottawa.
Says AB “graciously” hosted the Stanley Cup and didn’t have any COVID cases.
EOT doesn’t follow what’s happing in the province outside of Kenney’s updates it seems

The Pension War Room™️ remember! Remember when Travis said:
"Further, I want to emphasize that AIMCo operates independently and at arm’s length from the government, and its only goal will be to serve the best interests of the ATRF as its client." #ABLeg

Remember that the next time Travis appoints new AIMCO Board Members without the knowledge or consent of the clients. What do we do if they perform poorly?
GOA= sole shareholder of AIMCO w/absolute control

Back to the #UCPAGM2020 part... four in my tweet threads I believe
Moderators have apparently found missing videos of resolution proposals. So we’re catching up with those a little late...

What the GIF. Anyway.
GR-16
Update Article 8 - two changes to CA creation and operation
More missing videos 😬
Rationale: again allow CAs flexibility when President of CFO is unavailable please
Nay: who is in charge? Designate or CFO? Too confusing needs to be more precise

None in favour yet
Nay: additionally, phraseology issues, typical agenda language is overreach.

And back to governance policy!!! I won’t be able to move my hands tonight. #UCPAGM2020
GR-11
Committees again. Fundraising.
Yea: these are building a structure to assist elected council
Nay: fundraising committee is party only. Party is saying vote no.

Each constitutional document is focussed on one particular aspect of the governance of the party and association. Should have Simple majority to pass

Yea: Article 10 is convoluted. Let’s get the documents in this year and fix it next year.
Nay: we didn’t know how the voting platform would work, now we do.
Was garbled.
Nay: doesn’t work, 50%+1 is adequate so we don’t have major obstacles

Back for a Q&A from Kenney at the #UCPAGM2020
Q: masks don’t work can you and Dr. Hinshaw make a statement against Dr. Tams recommendations?
Jk: I’ve been critical of Dr.Tam when she gave bad advice, most of which came from WHO.

Jk: China restricted travel within China but encouraged travel out of the country. We don’t have a mask mandate here in the province.
Q: is there anything we can do to combat the federal anti-pipeline regulations?
Q: is there anything we can do to combat the federal anti-pipeline regulations?
Jk: TC Energy would like to invest and reduce the gas glut in AB. The province made recommendation and The federal govt has been sitting on it. They need pipelines. We’ve been approving in less than a year provincially. Longer pipelines needed, but under federal jurisdiction
It’s that time again - governance policy! #UCPAGM2020
We’ve been warned that chat must remain respectful and unparliamentary language or disruption will be dealt with a warning and potential removal.
Seems I missed something last night...

Cleaning up language in the policy book.
Probably not the fun kind.
If you’re following along, policy debates are the original grammar police where people fight over the placement of commas, adding and removing one or more words for clarity.

Moving the principles into its own constitutional document and out of policy declaration.
No one currently wants to speak against but we do have a speaker in favour.
Yay: just housekeeping but remember we need 75% for this to pass.
That’s 75% of whoever is here..

Late to the #UCPAGM2020 party because I had a prior engagement. We’re on Policy 10, collecting our own taxes. Drew Barnes asks people to vote for. First speaker says he’s tired of dealing with people in other provinces at CRA so he’s for it. #ableg
Next speaker is against. He says it’s just too expensive.
We aren’t being told whether the resolution is passing... that’s no fun.
Next up - private health care. First speaker, a Dr., says it’s in contravention of the Canada Health Act.

Speaker for motion says individual Albertans need options for when Medicare fails as it fails everywhere.
Against says we’re good, private costs more.
For says “no it doesn’t.”
MLA Glubish is opposed because the UCP said they’d preserve public and doesn’t want the grief.
