Jason Kenney's UCP are defending a candidate for nomination who said a Mosque would be a threat to Alberta's natural resources.

Why are they justifying her hateful views from just 3 years ago, instead of standing up for Albertans?

Wait. There's more.

In December 2015, Cindy Ross said,
“Why is it the police and government are on the muslim side?”

And, she said, "this democracy thing" is "an illusion.”

Does Jason Kenney still want to keep Cindy Ross on the ballot?

#ableg #abpoli #abndp
In December 2015, Cindy Ross wrote,

“Stop sharia law creep in its tracks...Stop being so concerned about being politically correct. The faith itself says to kill the non Muslim (the correct Muslim) believers.”

Why is Jason Kenney standing by Ms. Ross?
#ableg #abpoli #abndp
Yesterday, Cindy Ross said she didn't remember her racist post.

Maybe because there are too many?

In Dec 2015, when someone claimed Canada was being overtaken by Sharia law, Ms. Ross agreed and cited “Muslim only female swim” times in Calgary as proof.

#ableg #abpoli #abndp
In case you were wondering, no, Ms. Ross didn't just post about attacking Muslims.

In January 2016 post, she commented on a post about gender-neutral bathrooms, and had her own take on updating sexual education curriculum.

Does Jason Kenney agree?

Jason Kenney says the UCP has a rigorous screening process for candidates. bit.ly/2wRF1WK
Yet, in the feed of another UCP potential candidate Ms. Ross shared her views on Agenda 21 - a conspiracy theory that the UN's planning to take over the world
#ableg #abpoli #abndp
Ms. Ross had more thoughts on "Sharia creep."
She said "I don't think these people are safe to be around at all."
We're not posting this for fun.
Ms. Ross is approved to run to be the UCP candidate tonight and still not comment from the UCP or Jason Kenney.
#ableg #abpoli #abndp
Obviously, there's a pattern of "hateful views."
But why post all this?
To quote Ms. Ross from last month:
"Past behaviour is a good indicator of future performance."
Reminder: Jason Kenney's UCP approved her to run to be their candidate and they defended her

(Thread) Because events in #Alberta politics happened at such a rapid pace, I decided to use my Facebook timeline to compile all the controversial incidents and scandals involving the #UCP in 2018 - because there was a lot. #ableg #abpoli (1/48)
Methodology: I'm not compiling silly gaffes that went nowhere (such as Jason Kenny's finger bowl comment), incidents like "So & so said something stupid on Facebook five years ago" unless the person became a candidate... #ableg #abpoli (2/48)
...nor am I compiling things that cannot be directly linked to the #UCP, such as the hoodies calling for @JustinTrudeau to be executed or the ongoing death threats to him and @RachelNotley - even though there is likely a link. (3/48)

THREAD: 1/x Some context on this short audio. In 1989, San Fransisco passed a quasi civil union ordnance. It was later reversed by voters in a plebiscite (yes, it failed in SAN FRANCISCO!). @jkenney was a 20 yer old student in SF at time. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC
2/x Societal norms have evolved a great deal since. For example, Liberal stalwart Dianne Feinstein, while SF mayor earlier, vetoed a similar ordnance. Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton both opposed same-sex marriage up until quite recently. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC
3/x NDP icon Tommy Douglas viewed homosexuality as a "mental illness." In 2005, 29 LIBERAL MPs voted against same-sex marriage. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC

I have decided to resign from the Alberta Education Social Studies Curriculum Working Group (CWG). It was not an easy decision as I am deeply committed to designing the best possible Social Studies curriculum for the students, teachers, and people of Alberta #abed /1
I have resisted resigning and publicly criticizing the draft curriculum and curriculum redesign process because I am frightened about what a Jason Kenney-led UCP government might do to the social studies curriculum and K-12 education in #abed should they get into power /2
Since joining the Social Studies CWG in the fall of 2016 I have repeatedly defended Alberta Education from unfair and inaccurate criticism about both the curriculum writing process and the draft social studies curricula from David Staples of the Edmonton Journal. /3

You know, we post a lot of memes about Trump. Silly memes, angry memes... But there's really nothing to laugh at. Trump is a monster. And the people around him? They are monsters too. #USPolitics #cdnpoli #AbLeg #abpoli 1/19
Brazil has just elected a fascist. A more open monster, but I am not sure if he is really any worse. And in Ontario, with Doug Ford, the incompetent fascist regime has been elected. #onpoli #cdnpoli 2/19
Two more parties sit convincing people they are the governments in waiting; Jason Kenney's UCP, and Andrew Scheer's CPC. They are all cut from the same cloth. Don't let the smiles and dimples fool you. 3/19

Let's put aside the weak attempts at deflection from the #UCP for a second and look objectively at how this party manages to attract far right/alt right groups. #abpoli /1
It's not secret that Jason Kenney has long been a hardline SoCon. Prior to being elected, he had a long career as a speaker on the shadowy anti-abortion talk circuit. /2
That makes him attractive to hardline religious groups that are generally opposed to LGBTQ rights and women's rights (especially WRT medical access). /3

1. @jkenney and #UCP are supporting SK’s challenge, which argues that fed carbon price can only be constitutional if it applies to every province, incl Alberta, not just those without their own price, like SK and ON. #ableg #abpoli
2. In other words, Kenney isn’t just proposing to waste AB’s $ on lawyers to fight a legal loser: he’s demanding that Ottawa collect carbon charges in Alberta, not just SK & ON. #abpoli
3. I’m not kidding. The fight Kenney wants to wage is to demand Ottawa extend its carbon price collection to Alberta, instead of exempting Alberta from Ottawa’s tax in favour of a made-in-Alberta design that accounts for Alberta’s unique circumstances.
