#Ablrg News 🧵
It feels like this week ended as bad as it started.
Between Madu changing legislation to allow illegal donations, Alberta making international news (again)…and Devin Dreeshen, it’s been a REALLY bad week for the UCP!
Let’s look at 19 (YUP!!) stories this week:
#Ableg News 🧵
1. 💰 #Abpoli Party Donations are out; and Kenney was AGAIN out-funded by the NDP for the 4th quarter in a row!
The NDP have now raised 156% more donations than the UCP for Q1-Q3 2021.
Remember this for story #15 when Kenney changes the rules for HIS donors…
#Ableg News 🧵
2. Treaty 6 Chief formally responds to Alberta’s Provincial Police report, saying Madu completed ZERO consultations with First Nations! Madu lied to Albertans!🤥
3. More allegations of sexual harassment by Kenney’s lawyer pal and Devin’s booze pal Ivan Bernardo!
#Anleg News 🧵
4 Without ANY consultation, the UCP is selling off gov-owned affordable housing units to “for-profits” corporations - claiming it’s not “privatization” 🙄
5. 😂 In a giant ad to support the UCP’s new “advanced” curriculum. UCP MLA Savage can’t spell “cirricilum”
#Anleg News 🧵
6. The $3,500,000 Public inquiry into anti-Alberta energy campaign website is gone!. A sign of being proud of your work.
7. Speaking of: Vivian Krause accused the UCP of making ‘incorrect’ and ‘exaggerated’ claims about foreign funding of environmental groups!
#Ableg News 🧵
8. Beep Beep 🚌! Kenney goes on CBC Radio to say Hinshaw failed to give him ANY advice in August 2021 which is what caused Wave 4
9. A FOIP request shows Kenney lied when he claimed he was in “daily" contact with staff & Heath officials during his vacation!
#Ableg News 🧵
10. After hiding the data, the UCP finally admitted their inaction on covid caused 15,000 canceled surgeries!
11. The UCP reneged on a promise to charge OHV drivers in Kananaskis a small user fee to help restore & create new OHV trails & hire enforcement officers
#Ableg News 🧵
12. Alberta made international news (again) after Kenney said there was “0 value” in attending a global climate summit 🤷🏻♂️
13 Political scientists say Kenney missed a crucial chance to gather info, make contacts and tell Alberta's story to the rest of the world
#Anleg News 🧵
14. The leader of the Bloc Quebecois mocked Kenney’s “equalization referendum” suggesting Canada should totally reopen the constitution and renegotiate the equalization formula to a “green formula”.
The more green a province, the more they get back. 🤦🏻♂️
#Ableg News 🧵
15. In response to the NDP leading donations, the UCP quietly snuck in new legislation to allow hundreds of thousands of 💰 from big donors to SNEAK into UCP coffers through nomination contests, and multiple, illegal donations to UCP constituency associations!
#Ableg News 🧵
16. In a scathing essay, Donna Glans, a former PC MLA, described how the UCP infiltrated public boards with crony appointments and created a “ top-down, authoritarian culture” that it turned the workplace to “toxic” workplace…
Why does that sound familiar 🤔
#Ableg News 🧵
17. In an attempt to troll Albertans’ concerned with his drinking and bullying, UCP MLA Dreeshen posted a photo of him propping a laptop on a beer cooler and coasters with booze in the background
18. Dreeshen reigned from Cabinet (not as an MLA) 3-days later.
#Ableg News 🧵
19. Brian Jean is back (again) and wants to grab a UCP seat in Fort McMurray saying he’s here to run against Kenney and only he can beat Notley.
This is NOT a real story now…but something to watch at the UCP Convention Nov 19-21 (YES…you win @McIvorben)
#Ableg News 🧵
So good news? I’ll repeat this one: the @Grindstoneyeg is putting together a HILARIOUS show called “Jason Kenney’s Hot Boy Summer”, featuring the incredible @Stephwolfe101!
I fully encourage those to go Nov 10-21 (Nov 10 is sold out!)
