#Ableg News 🧵 (1/8)

Another week, another 7-days of UCP blunders 🤦🏻‍♂️

Let’s take a look at a few:

1. Kenney’s silently bailing out “struggling” multi-billion dollar utility companies by adding new ‘fees’ to OUR already skyrocketing energy bills 💰 (don’t worry - not a tax)

#Ableg News 🧵(2/8)

2. Kenney declares “Covid pandemic officially over”, Scolds Albertans for listening to scientists and data. 🤦🏻‍♂️

3. Alberta STILL has the 2nd highest number of unvaccinated citizens. Perhaps we need more hunting licenses as incentive? 🎯

It gets worse…

4. Alberta’s Health Minister has a Shantrum, saying AHS bed closures “aren’t THAT bad”, and then blames the NDP? 😬

5. UCP @MikeEllisUCP breaches the privacy of patients for a petty photo op at a treatment facility

Will there be ANY consequences?

5. Kenney LIED and said his austerity policies led to a NEW chicken slaughter house; ignoring the deal was orchestrated by the NDP in 2017.

Kenney’s claim of “450 new jobs” is also false, they’re the same jobs as the old plant proving he’s full of 🐔💩

6. Kenney & LaGrange secretly brought in 8 former curriculum “experts”, including a life coach with no experience and ANOTHER reconciliation denier. We will pay them up to $128,000 for 40-days reviewing the garbage curriculum they created

There’s more

This is where it gets UGLY!

7. CBC discovered the UCP is secretly removing 500 vulnerable Albertans from the Support and Financial Assistance Agreement (SFAA) program WITHOUT any valid reason or justification.

This is just mean 😪

And it gets WORSE…

8. Madu wants every Albertan to carry Pepper Spray…and Kenney claims that Trudeau is to blame.

This is not only stupid but ignores the fact Madu’s the JUSTICE MINISTER FOR ALBERTA and can decide to move charges 🤦🏻‍♂️

This is an UGLY distraction…for this:

#Ableg News 🧵 (8/8) WTF!

9. 3,500 SQ KM of forested area in Alberta was SECRETLY handed over to a private firm without ANY public consultation or notice!

SURPRISE! The same area was approved for coal mining on CAT 2 lands…the UCP is now clearing forests for open pit mines! 🪨
