Do you like having money? Then you definitely want to vote for *anyone* other than Jason Kenney’s UCP. Kenney’s just-released platform confirms that he intends to take a boatload of money out of *your* wallet and give to his friends:
#ableg #abvote #abpoli

•He wants to end OT time-and-a-half banking, taking money you worked hard to earn and handing it to your boss.
•He wants to end the carbon tax & rebates, which most Albertans make money on, taking money out of your hands & giving it to the richest in AB.

•He wants to freeze education & health spending, but with a growing population that means fewer $/person. Businesses get a tax cut paid for by you buying more school supplies, fundraising & donating more, waiting longer for diagnostics or a surgery, & more

•He wants tax cuts, just not for most Albertans. Instead he wants to slash taxes only for businesses and people with 6-digit incomes. For most Albertans, a UCP govt means you’ll pay as much or more tax, with poorer gov’t services to boot.

•If you’re under 18, he wants to slice a sixth of your min wage off and give it your employer, because he thinks your labour isn’t worth as much as older Albertans’ work is.

•He wants to roll back consumer protections, and give businesses like used car dealerships more free rein to lie & cheat in order to sucker you into a bad deal.

•He calls for doubling down on dying industries like coal (coal!), rather than diversifying our economy to break our dependence on the price of fossil fuels. That means fewer jobs, & crippling our future as the world inevitably moves towards renewables.

So if you’re game to tighten your belt & make some sacrifices, all so some guy who owns a car dealership & a McMansion can get his luxury sedan detailed earlier than he hoped, then maybe Kenney is the leader for you.

But if you can add, and if you care about your own bottom line, a vote for literally anyone else is a vote to keep the money you earned in your own hands. Your choice Alberta.
