#Ableg News 🧵
Hey #Abpoli: Remember when Alberta was the “go to” place for young professionals in Canada? We’re officially not (see story #3)
HORRIBLE press conferences, MAJOR lies and 2 failed UCP apps are just part of 16 REALLY Bad News UCP stories this week
Buckle up!
#Ableg News 🧵
Whoopsie! 🤦🏻♂️
1. Kenney’s promise of a “QR Code” app allowing Albertans to quickly confirm Covid-19 vaccinations with businesses was FINALLY launched….without ANY ability to scan QR codes to verify the info - making the app completely useless!
It gets worse…
#Ableg News 🧵
2. For 3-weeks in a row @jkenney made national & international news for his pandemic response 📰
3. Alberta’s now seen its WEAKEST population growth in 4 decades! For the 1st time since 1971, Alberta’s no longer has the youngest median age among the provinces
#Ableg News 🧵
4. Kenney’s COVID-19 plan helped one industry in Alberta: Funeral homes in Alberta are seeing an increase in demand ⚰️
5. Not a single quarantine fine was levied in Alberta, despite thousands of people who violated Alberta’s Contravention Act. I wonder why 🤔
#Ableg News 🧵
NEW POLLS! 📉
6. New Leger poll shows 80% of Albertans are totally dissatisfied with Kenney’s Covid response; only 4% fully support him
7. Another new poll this week shows 77% of Alberta disapprove of Kenney’s leadership, while 61% STRONGLY disapprove. 😳
#Ableg News 🧵
8. Kenney’s polling is so bad, local UCP Consistency Associations are DESPERATE to move up a leadership review from April 2022 to December 2021.
A motion to move the dates also shows MAJOR concern over the last leadership race (ie: illegal voting!!)
#Anleg News 🧵
This one is BAD!
9. In April 2020, Kenney PROMISED an increase to ICU beds to 1,081. They never did!
One reason cited; the UCP failed to account for staffing shortages due to mass resignations and illnesses, many noting Kenney’s threats to HCW’s hurt staffing
#Ableg News 🧵
10. Due to a lack of ICU Beds, 8,500 surgeries were delayed since September 13, including 805 kid surgeries
11.Alberta’s ER Med president sent a letter to Kenney and Health Minister Coppling to tour a #YEG ER to see first-hand how overstretched the system is.
#Ableg News 🧵
ANOTHER brutal presser:
12. In response to asking if he’d tour the ER room, Kenney said he NEVER had a hospital photo op, forgetting several times he and his UCP MLA’s used hospitals for photo ops. 🤥
13. LaGrange was caught faking putting on a mask. 🤦🏻♂️
#Ableg News 🧵
14. The UCP is still forcing Albertans to pay $4,300,000 for a covid app that tracked 158 cases ($27,215/ case). The federal app is still free). 😡
15. @tony_clark discovered the UCP LOST $473,000,000 in corporate income tax due to “accounting adjustments” 🤦♀️
#Ableg News 🧵
🚨BUSTED🚨
16: Despite UCP’MLA Savage promising ALL Category 2 lands were halted, she SECRETLY approved existing land & exploratory mining leases to be purchased /moved between companies. This signals the ministry intends to keep moving forward with coal projects
