Since @jkenney does nothing these days except complain and try to distract from his record, let's give him a reminder.

THREAD

Before the pandemic, his disastrous policies were already seeing Alberta shed jobs by the tens of thousands. 1/16 #ableg #abpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…
When companies began to leave or refuse to relocate in Alberta because of @jkenney's destructive policies, he demonized them instead of changing course. Brilliant strategy, Premier. 2/16 #ableg #abpoli #UCPincompetence thelogic.co/news/alberta-g…
He cancelled all the programs that were diversifying our economy: from film to clean energy, everything got cut.

It will take years to recover from this vandalism. 3/16 #ableg #abpoli taprootedmonton.ca/news/2019/11/0…
.@jkenney's policies raised income taxes, property taxes, insurance costs, registry fees, and tuition fees.

He's making life more expensive for Albertans so he can pay for his massive corporate tax giveaways. 4/16 #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
The UCP was one of the few provincial parties to take the federal wage subsidy, a program meant to help struggling Canadians. The Alberta NDP didn't take it.

Never forget that @jkenney made Justin Trudeau his party's biggest donor. 5/16 #ableg #abpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
The UCP fired the election commissioner who was investigating @jkenney's kamikaze scandal.

While his party did this, Jason Kenney was hiding in Texas. 6/16 #ableg #UCPcorruption
edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…
After firing the election commissioner, the UCP limited the right to protest. 7/16 #ableg #UCPcorruption sprawlcalgary.com/ucp-bill1-indi…
They then conducted another massive assault on democracy by effectively removing the cap on donations in local elections and scrapping the requirement for candidates to disclose their donors before election day.

So much for transparency. 8/16 #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
The UCP is conducting a war on doctors and driving them out of the province *in the middle of a pandemic*. 9/16 #ableg #abhealth calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
And @jkenney said that the disgraced Health Minister @shandro, a man who screams at doctors in their driveways, was doing a "fantastic job."

Kenney refused to sack him, despite 98% of doctors losing confidence in him as Health Minister. 10/16 #abhealth calgaryherald.com/news/politics/…
To save $1.14 per Albertan, the UCP is closing or de-listing 184 of our parks, as well as halting trail grooming.

"Sites for which no manager can be found will lose park status and revert to general Crown land, which can be sold."

11/16 #ableg #abparks

cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
When the pandemic struck, many governments were focused on supporting their citizens.

@jkenney? He was focused on laying off 20,000+ education assistants and support staff. 12/16 #ableg #abed calgaryherald.com/opinion/braid-…
In fact, since the moment they came to office, the UCP has been conducting a relentless campaign against public education. Here's a thread on THAT disaster. 13/16 #ableg #abed
The fiasco that is the "war room". Enough said. 14/16 #ableg #UCPcorruption cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
He made cruel cuts to AISH and has been threatening to further restrict access to the program.

He makes $16,000/month, but he thinks people who make $1,600 should get by on less. 15/16 #ableg calgaryherald.com/news/politics/…
This is just a sample of @jkenney's disastrous record. Feel free to add more UCP failures in the comments.

#BetterOffWithRachel

It's so important that we fight back so we can elect a serious Premier in 2023. If you can afford to chip in, click here: secure.albertandp.ca/page/contribut…

This is disturbing. I just heard the full speech given by Artur Pawlowski at the Coutts blockade.

Are UCP MLAs really going to stand by and say nothing about @ABDanielleSmith getting on the phone with this man?

Here are some highlights from the speech. 🧵 1/4 #ableg #abpoli
The video is from February 2022. In it, Artur Pawlowski:

👉🏼 Tells the crowds there aren't enough RCMP officers or military to stop them
👉🏼 Brags that he has lost count of the criminal charges he has faced
👉🏼Tells the crowd that some might "pay the price"
+
🧵 2/
👉🏼 Suggests that his actions are to prevent his children from being enslaved
👉🏼 Calls the members of Alberta law enforcement “gangsters” and “the biggest mafia”
👉🏼 Compares the Coutts blockade to the Alamo, a bloody siege during the 19th-century Texas Revolution

We know that many people in Calgary and Edmonton are concerned about increasing crime, but let's be clear about what's going on with the UCP's public safety announcements.

🧵 1/4 #ableg #abpoli
First, the UCP have made steep cuts to affordable housing, rental supplements and other supports that provide safety and security, and that help to address the root causes of crime.

After four years of the UCP, homelessness in Edmonton has doubled. 🧵 2/
Second, the UCP *cut funding* to both the Calgary and Edmonton Police in 2019 by cutting fine revenue funding that Edmonton and Calgary used to pay for policing.

The amount the UCP are announcing today is comparable to what they took away from policing in 2019. 🧵 3/

We are calling for the Ethics Commissioner to investigate whether Danielle Smith violated the Conflict of Interest Act during her protracted conversation with a man awaiting trial for inciting violence during the Coutts blockade.

Here is @MLAIrfanSabir's letter. 🧵1/8 #ableg
The conversation between Danielle Smith and Artur Pawlowski showed the Premier using her office inappropriately to further an individual's private interests contrary to the provisions of the Conflicts of Interest Act. That is what we asking the Commissioner to investigate. 🧵2/
Section 3 of the Conflict of Interest Act states, “A Member breaches this Act if the Member uses the Member’s office or powers to influence or to seek to influence a decision to be made by or on behalf of the Crown to further a private interest of the Member..." + 🧵 3/

Wow. A leaked cell phone video has just revealed the true extent of Danielle Smith’s coordinated political interference in the justice system on behalf of those charged following the Coutts blockade.

🧵 1/9 #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg
The video appears to capture a Jan 2023 call between Danielle Smith and street pastor Artur Pawlowski, who faces charges of breaching a release order and mischief for inciting people to block public property at the Coutts border crossing in Jan 2022. 🧵 2/
Pawlowski also told a crowd, “For freedom to be preserved, people must be willing to sacrifice their lives. This is our time. If this is our Alamo then so be it.” Prosecutors called Pawlowski’s actions “an overt threat to violence.” 🧵 3/

Shocking. Danielle Smith is spending six times what the Kenney government spent on advertising.

She spent $4M in January and February alone! (An entire provincial election campaign has a spending cap of $3.2M.)

She's using Albertans’ money to prop up her campaign. 🧵1/4 #ableg
Figures released to the Alberta NDP on Tuesday afternoon show the Government of Alberta spent more than $4 million on advertising in January and February alone, a roughly six-fold increase — 614 per cent to be exact — over the $658,000 spent during the same months in 2022. 🧵 2/4
The figures were provided to us in response to a Freedom of Information request, mere hours after @shoffmanAB went public with concerns the government had passed a supplementary spending bill in the Legislature that brings its total advertising war-chest to more than $9M. 🧵 3/4

Wow. @ABDanielleSmith has been caught lying to Albertans again.

She claims that all of her advocacy for her $20 billion handout has been in public. Lobbyist records prove that was a lie.

🧵 1/6 #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg
On Monday, Smith was asked if her time as a lobbyist for her $20 billion handout is a conflict of interest now that she is pushing for this plan as premier.

Smith responded that “All of the advocacy that I ever did was always in public.” 🧵 2/6
However, lobbying records show that Smith met with then Energy Minister Sonya Savage, as well as the UCP energy caucus and an official from the Alberta Energy Regulator, during her time at Alberta Enterprise Group. 🧵 3/6
