#Ableg Weekly News 🧵 (1/8)
Alberta….this was a AWFUL week of bad polls, Shantrums, lies and throwing people under the bus.
It wasn’t AS bad as last week…but my goodness - it was UGLY
Ready for a ride??? Let’s go!!!
#Ableg News 🧵 (2/8)
1. UCP’s Brock Harrison justified 0 restrictions saying Alberta is “above the national average” in vaxes
100% lie!
We’re 2nd worst in Canada in 1st doses and closer to Florida than Canada’s average!
Canada: 71.1%
Alberta: 65.9%
Florida: 58.4%
Yikes…

2. Kenney said he reinstated UCP MLA Pat “Texas” Rehn several municipalities supported him.
SURPRISE!!! Nobody supported him!
3. Shandro backtracked after saying he wasn’t going to release the review of the UCP’s handling of Covid. Where is it?
#Ableg News 🧵 (4/8)
This is UGLY!!
4. Alberta Health Services Board member Jack Mintz is ALSO on the board of a company that produces private COVID rapid tests!
This is a MASSIVE conflict of interest:

5. Madu’s embarrasses Alberta AGAIN after the Canadian gov’t denied his request to allow “prohibited weapons” on the street
6. Madu is also secretly meeting with rural Alberta leaders to sell them on an APP, but WON’T tell them the MASSIVE cost.
#Ableg News 🧵(6/8):
7. In typical Shandro style - our Minister of Health sent a bizarre 12-thread long rant about how unfair it is that Ottawa expressed concerns about canceling covid-19 restrictions.
He ignored we have:
- 2nd worst vax uptakes in 🇨🇦
- Worst outbreak in 🇨🇦

8. After Kenney blamed Hinshaw for the move to 0 Covid-19 restrictions, the doctor (and Licia Corbella) released coinciding media articles
- Kids are more at risk for sprained ankles
- learn to live with Covid
- we should turn our attention to syphilis 🤦🏻♂️
#Ableg News 🧵 (8/8)
