The Green Line is vital to building a modern economy in
Calgary and will create 20,000 jobs at a time when our city desperately needs
them. But UCP insiders have launched a coordinated campaign to kill the
project. #yyc #yyccc #YYC4transit #GreenLineYYC #ableg

The group took part in a closed door meeting with city officials in February in an
attempt to stop the project. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

This group includes Steve Allan, the commissioner of the
UCP’s inquiry into the funding of environmental organizations and campaigner for @doug_schweitzer. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

It also includes Jim Gray and Brian Felesky. They donated over $63k tothe UCP and their legacy parties since 2015, including a combined $18k directlyto @jkenney for his PC and UCPleadership campaigns. They donated an extra $19k to PACs directly tied to Jason Kenney or the UCP.

Since the meeting in February, the pressure from the group of UCP supporters intensified and they have launched a campaign to stop the #GreenLineYYC. livewirecalgary.com/2020/05/25/gro…

Around the same time the campaign was launched by these UCP
insiders, @jkenney expressed his support for pausing the project. calgarysun.com/opinion/column…

@jkenney followed up those comments by drastically cutting
provincial funding in last October’s budget. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

These are the kind of backroom deals that Albertans are
coming to expect from @jkenney and the UCP. Kenney should explain to Albertans why he sent his inquiry commissioner and high-rolling donors to stop the #GreenLineYYC.

If @jkenney is serious about supporting jobs and our
economy, he needs to unequivocally support the #GreenLineYYC and commit to fully funding it - not send in his close friends and rich donors to kill it.
