The UCP ended the year with a massive deficit (seems they really do understand the power of deficit spending) but if you dig into the UCP donation disclosure there is one donor conspicuosly missing #ableg efpublic.elections.ab.ca/reports/UCP201…
Not a dime from Jason Kenney.

However, his top staff donate. Howard Anglin, $4k. @MattWolfAB , $3k, Jamie Huckabay $3,233, Paul Bunner $3k, @katy_merrifield $1,350, @ChristineMyatt $400.
And Kenney's cabinet donates. Enviro minister Jason Nixon donated $4k, finance minister Travis Toews donated $3,850, Trump campaigner and ag minister @DevinDVote is in for $2,912. Muni affairs minister @KayceeMaduYEG donated $2,925. Health minister Tyler Shandro $1K.
Even the issues managers and the press secretaries donate. @Bateson_AB donated $700, the guy who runs the @UniteAlberta account @HarrisonFleming donated $550, education press sec @ColinAitchison $550.
But the guy who makes more than anyone else in that building. The godhead and leader, Jason Kenney, can't be arsed to donate to his own party. #ableg
Strange. Jason Kenney is listed as being a UCP donor on the Elections Alberta financial disclosure site. How did he not make it into their annual disclosure?

🚨 Conservative shenanigans alert 🚨

Recently we saw a data-harvesting project pop up that looks a little shady. Here's what you should know about it #ableg (1/7)
This campaign to "thank Alberta's Medical workers" urges you to order a lawn sign from them. Proceeds do not go towards health care workers; the site claims that 'profits' will instead go to local food banks. After all the UCP layoffs maybe that's where those workers will end up?
It's notable that the site says they will be donating the 'profits.' If you dig into the terms, they make it clear that they're skimming into these donations to pay 'employee wages.' How much are they paying themselves with your donation money? thankabhealth.ca/terms-conditio…

The Flames are refusing to do anything beyond the strict letter of the labour code when it comes to compensating employees put out of work by the coronavirus. So who are the owners of the Calgary Flames? calgaryherald.com/sports/hockey/…
Let’s start with the biggest fish. Murray Edwards, co-founder of the largest oil company in Canada and a certified billionaire is the chairman of the company that owns the Flames.
Alvin Libin is a seniors care tycoon who founded Extendicare. In Feb the CBC learned it locked up diapers to limit their use while incontinent residents sat in urine-soaked pads, suffering from severe bladder and yeast infections, rashes and open wounds cbc.ca/amp/1.5470130

Jason Kenney's conspiracy-theory-fuelled anti-environmentalist inquiry finally produced its interim report last month, so we put in a FOIP to get a look at it. You won't believe what we found #ableg
Turns out this public inquiry isn't very public at all. Our request for the interim report was denied. But if you read the letter there is an interesting detail in there:
Our request for a copy of the interim report turned up 11 pages of records. Just 11! The commissioner has produced an 11 page interim report and the public isn't even allowed to look at it? This is a public inquiry?
