A government that is proud of its legislation does not pass bills while most Albertans are sleeping. They also don’t use procedural tricks like time allocation and closure to force through an unpopular agenda they didn’t even campaign on. 1/x #ableg
The UCP does have a majority government, but that is not a free pass to do anything they want until the next election. They have a responsibility to listen to all Albertans, not just those who voted for them (although there is no shortage of now-former UCP voters). 2/x #ableg
Democracy does not happen once every four years – it is an ongoing process of advocacy, decision-making, and respect. Instead of being a government with honour, the UCP have decided to act as rulers of Alberta, thinking they are too good for criticism and above the law 3/x #ableg
It is almost impossible to properly weigh the consequences this rushed session will have in almost all aspects of our lives: the door has been opened to private healthcare delivery, workers’ rights have been stripped away... 4/x #ableg
...many are thinking of leaving our province because of how the UCP has treated them, parents have no guarantee their kids' schools will be safe come fall, big money is back in municipal politics, our beautiful parks can be sold and mined – there is too much to name. 5/x #ableg
The UCP will stand in front of media today and tell Alberta how proud they are of the work they accomplished this session. There is nothing to be proud of, but plenty to be ashamed of, and I suspect they know that, having rushed through bill after bill. 6/x #ableg
The UCP is not in the Legislature for you; they are there for themselves and their donors only. This is not how democracy is supposed to work. This is not good governance. 7/7 #ableg
