3. He promised no cuts to front line services, but he’s cut funding across the board. He's done real damage to education and health care.

THREAD: Statement by WestJet union regarding the use of a WestJet flight Public Address (PA) system by Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre. @WestJet #WestJet
2. CALGARY -- CUPE Local 4070 represents cabin crew employees at WestJet. Local President Alia Hussain issued the following statement today:
3. "It’s very disappointing that WestJet management let a politician use the public address (PA) system on a recent flight for his political statement. It is doubly disappointing that WestJet is now trying to assign blame on the cabin crew for this event.

"Dangerous" Danielle Smith. A history of her bad takes, and how her bad judgement will hurt Alberta.
🧵

#AbLeg #abpoli #yyc #calgary #edmonton #alberta #yeg #yql #reddeer
After running on a platform of opposing the Alberta PC dynasty, she and seven other MLAs crossed the floor to join the party she had ferociously opposed for years before. What else did she lie to voters about?

#AbLeg #abpoli #yyc #calgary #edmonton #alberta #yeg #yql #reddeer
The jist of this terrible column? "Dangerous" Danielle Smith used her platform to argue that light cigarette usage can be good for you, and we need to put our energy into making cigarettes healthier.

1. THREAD

CUPE Alberta President Rory Gill @RoryGillAB is speaking today to the annual CUPE AB convention. This thread will capture his comments in real time. #alberta #ableg #abpoli #canlab
@RoryGillAB 2. No matter what challenge the last two years have thrown at our members they overcome and so has our union. The proudest statement that I can make is that I am CUPE member.
3. At our last convention, I and many of you, believed that the vaccines that were beginning to be rolled out would provide an end to the pandemic and the public health protections.

Thread: A bad budget from a bad government.

Alberta’s 22-23 budget is a master class of deception & gaslighting. It pretends to have a lot of good news, but page after page signals hardship for the province.

#alberta #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg #edmonton #calgary #yql
2. The UCP are claiming this is a good news budget because it forecasts a small surplus for the coming fiscal year. The surplus is 100% based on high gas & oil prices, which are not in the control of any government.
#alberta #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg #edmonton #calgary #yql
3. ECONOMY
A balanced budget does not equal a healthy economy. Alberta has a 9% unemployment rate. Calgary has the highest unemployment rate among major cities.
