A long thread...but I am so done. Today I live in a province where @UCPCaucus is more concerned with a Netflix film about #Bigfoot than the FACT that 1000 people in our largest city lost their jobs in O&G this week. #ableg #cdnpoli #RealTalkRJ

I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus thinks we believe that they have properly funded education and healthcare since they came into power despite classrooms bursting at the seams and a rural hospital fundraising for toilets. #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus thinks we support them taking from those on AISH while funding a $30 million/year joke of a O&G War Room and giving billions of dollars to rich corporations telling us it will "trickle down" to the rest of Albertans. #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus talks about job creation, yet they cut tens of thousands of public sector jobs, & pit public & private against each other as if public & private workers don't live under the same roof or share friend groups. #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus still has no explanation for why so many frontline workers (including those working on Covid wards) don't have a spot in the vaccine roll out. #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province @UCPCaucus has cut university funding exponentially, cutting 60 million from the U of A budget alone this year. It is estimated that 750 post-secondary jobs will be lost in the 2021-2022 school year. Job creation? #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus has centralized ambulance services, resulting in decreased ambulance response times & confusion with dispatch of emergency services. The consequences of this will, for some Albertans, be catastrophic. We are just waiting for it to happen.

I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus were FOIPed over #alohagate and claim that only 7 Albertans contacted @jkenney over the Christmas break travel scandal. Yes, only 7! #ableg #cdnpoli #RealTalkRJ

I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus keeps trying to peddle that coal development won’t harm our water, mountains and ecosystems when we absolutely know different and 69% of Albertans want coal exploration to stop completely. #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus thinks we believe them when they say they didn’t fight with doctors, that they didn’t take over teacher pensions, that they have come up with a sound Covid plan in schools. #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province where my government is slow to respond (and sometimes does not respond at all) to acts of hate and violence against racialized groups or the LGTBQ2S+ community. #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus and @jkenney blame every misstep on @RachelNotley, the @albertaNDP and @JustinTrudeau. #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province where I fully believe the @UCPCaucus thinks the average Albertan isn't very smart and that's why they think they can keep lying like we don't know the difference. #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province where speaking out against the @UCPCaucus will cause @jkenney to label me a "fringe radical left socialist" #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province where the @UCPCaucus has done nothing to better my life or the lives around me. They lie, cheat & steal & behave like spoiled children. They have taken the province I have lived in all my life & made a mockery of it. I want MY Alberta back. #ableg #cdnpoli

I live in a province where I *cannot wait* until the @UCPCaucus and @jkenney @AdrianaLaGrange @JasonNixonAB @shandro are no longer making decisions for us. Cannot wait! We've got a lot of work to do before 2023. Let's take Alberta back. #ableg #cdnpoli
