From the DM’s
Looks like the UCP has released their policy proposals for their AGM…
It’s…
Well, it’s probably exactly what most of you expect.
Including the start of defunding abortions.

Let’s start with the “not teaching kids anything that might make them aware of their privilege even if it’s anti-racist, intersectional or has anything to do with diversity or inclusion…
/2
From there, let’s go straight to a voucher system for all schooling, what could go wrong?
/3
How about making sure that no matter what, cities like #YYC and #YEG can’t ever get close to their own versions of “sovereignty”, cause that’s super bad for everyone…
/4
On the subject of energy, one of the proposals calls for the outright banning of wind & solar in any areas that could be used for agriculture…
/5
You know what we really need back in Alberta politics?
CORPORATE MONEY!
/6
You know what else we need? Patients making their own decisions about what meds and treatments they want to try despite evidence!
That’ll go well…
/7
Remember how the UCP said they would never go after abortion?
One of the policies?
Let’s defund some abortions!

Sometimes you have to wonder if a policy is solving a perceived problem or just advancing an agenda…
Is the government currently forcing parents to acknowledge trans kids?
/9
Ooooo looks like maybe Team Smith contributed this one?
Pretty much says Sovereignty Act without saying it and ignores this is federal jurisdiction for approval…

And they’re doubling down on conscience rights, even refining the wording…
So if you want medical treatment, there’s a “right to try”, unless you’re…
somehow disagreeable?
/11
That’s just what we’ve been sent so far…
We’re told these are all policies to be debated for acceptance at the October UCP AGM, they have been sent out to prioritize order of debate.
If the Socons really have showed up…
Dark days in ‘Berta.

As a postscript…
What does it cost to vote on this radioactive dumpster fire of policies?
(And yikes! They doubled the observer pass cost!)
#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Another postscript…
So that was super well executed apparently…
