#Ableg News 🧵 (1/12)
Happy Friday #Abpoli!
It’s been another HORRIBLE week. Covid is up exponentially. Syphilis is out of control and Kenney is NOWHERE to be found.
Want to see what made the week so bad? Let’s jump in team!

1) Despite saying they can’t afford AB nurses, a job ad shows the UCP tapped an agency to hire contract nurses to replace them at $75/hr (@Patricia_Ann_S)
2) UCP blames Trudeau for not wanting to sign $10/day care deal ignoring 8-other provinces signed off

YIKES!
3). The War Room is under investigation for proving personal information to a third party ran by Kenney’s good friend Hamish Marshall - a co-founder of One Persuasion and campaign manager (with Brock Harrison) for the Conservatives' 2019 election!

4) Alberta’s syphilis rates are so bad, they made international news, including the Stephen Colbert show.
5) LaGrange is cleared by Ethics Commission after several staffers “forgot” key details about a mask procurement deal with a UCP donor . 🤦🏻♂️

6. A FOIP request revealed the UCP Cabinet’s saw (and maybe changed) the new curriculum
This represents direct political interference in the curriculum development processes
It also showed racist Chris Champion was still employed in Oct

7. Despite Hinshaw PROMISING to provide the Scientific evidence and data used to justify the removal of COVID-19 protocols….Hinshaw said it was delayed again!
Does this mean the decision to justify the loosest rules in Canada was never about the data?

8. @DucksUnlimited was mysteriously redacted from Steve Allan’s “Anti-Albertan Inquiry” - and now we know why!
Larry Kaumeyer (the mysterious guy in the patio photo) was offered a job as the CEO to Ducks Unlimited 4-months ago - and took the job this week
#Ableg News 🧵(8/12)
This is super bad!
9. Donna Kenney-Glans, a former PC MLA and key members of Kenney’s “transition team” was fired from her job at a key gov’t appointment today.
Her crime? Speaking out against Kenney, showing us free speech is only for the UCP.

10. Kenney and the UCP are being sued for their attack on safe consumption sites in Alberta as overdoses skyrocket
The lawsuit says not only is the UCP increasing barriers to the harm reduction service but breaching the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

While not a “moment of zen” as in promising NDP polls, caucus revolts, or donations; there s good news!
Jason Kenney is in hiding. It’s clear he’s seen as such a liability, he’s not welcome to campaign with O’Toole
What a change 2-years makes! Yikes!
