I am done.
I am kind. Compassionate. Gracious. I truly believe we ALL do the best we can with what we have. When we know better, we do better, when we can.
But I do not think any UCP MLA is learning or wanting to do better. They continually do worse.

I am done with UCP creating needless stress & struggles for our most vulnerable with changes to #AISH. I have heard of 2 deaths by suicide directly due to UCP cuts. There will be more. Those on #AISH matter to me. They deserve compassion, not cuts. Support, not distress. /2

I am done being told there were no cuts to Ed. Bullshit. Feb had direct cuts to both PUF & ADLC & we KNOW if you compare numbers, there are cuts. How DARE UCP cause more struggles for kids, esp those with special needs. That is beyond cruel & immoral. These cuts harm kids. /3

I am done with attacks on #OurAlberta doctors. I have seen many abusive tactics employed on Twitter against our respected & needed doctors. I hold every UCP MLA responsible for every loss of a doc in AB. Albertans' health risk is higher as we lose docs. In a pandemic. /4

I am done with attacks now focused on nurses & teachers. Both sets of professionals ALWAYS have to fight for their patients & students yet are vilified & seen as selfish, overpaid, & even lazy. Each one deserves our respect. Full stop. These attacks have to end. Now. /5

I am done with decisions made for those with addictions. Deaths by OD have hugely increased. And what are UCP doing??? Not nearly enough. Albertans need JOBS, mental health supports, & CSC ALONG with recovery supports. Each addict matters. We are losing too many. /6

I am done with the "We aren't selling parks" & decisions made to go back to the coal days. Future generations deserve the preservation of our beautiful province. AB is NOT for sale. This is #OurAlberta. Kenney is not from here. And we will NOT let him sell off OUR parks. /7

I am done with the disrespect. Whether it be ignoring constituents, attacks on Twitter, deplorable behavior in the Leg, the misogyny, the racism, the lack of compassion, the arrogance of making decisions and not giving a damn how it impacts Albertans. /8

I am done with terrible spending decisions which do nothing to build AB or support Albertans & then being told the public services have "drastic cuts needed". Bullshit. We need innovative cost saving solutions alongside wise spending decisions. UCL offer neither. #UCPFail. /9

I am done with SO many things. However. I will leave it at -
I am done hearing how needlessly distressed so many Albertans are directly due to UCP. Covid should be enough stress for us. Yet UCP cause more stress.
I am done. We need big action to #ShutThemDown. Whatever it takes.
