The UCP ended the year with a massive deficit (seems they really do understand the power of deficit spending) but if you dig into the UCP donation disclosure there is one donor conspicuosly missing #ableg efpublic.elections.ab.ca/reports/UCP201…
Not a dime from Jason Kenney.

However, his top staff donate. Howard Anglin, $4k. @MattWolfAB , $3k, Jamie Huckabay $3,233, Paul Bunner $3k, @katy_merrifield $1,350, @ChristineMyatt $400.
And Kenney's cabinet donates. Enviro minister Jason Nixon donated $4k, finance minister Travis Toews donated $3,850, Trump campaigner and ag minister @DevinDVote is in for $2,912. Muni affairs minister @KayceeMaduYEG donated $2,925. Health minister Tyler Shandro $1K.

🚨 Conservative shenanigans alert 🚨

Recently we saw a data-harvesting project pop up that looks a little shady. Here's what you should know about it #ableg (1/7)
This campaign to "thank Alberta's Medical workers" urges you to order a lawn sign from them. Proceeds do not go towards health care workers; the site claims that 'profits' will instead go to local food banks. After all the UCP layoffs maybe that's where those workers will end up?
It's notable that the site says they will be donating the 'profits.' If you dig into the terms, they make it clear that they're skimming into these donations to pay 'employee wages.' How much are they paying themselves with your donation money? thankabhealth.ca/terms-conditio…

The Flames are refusing to do anything beyond the strict letter of the labour code when it comes to compensating employees put out of work by the coronavirus. So who are the owners of the Calgary Flames? calgaryherald.com/sports/hockey/…
Let’s start with the biggest fish. Murray Edwards, co-founder of the largest oil company in Canada and a certified billionaire is the chairman of the company that owns the Flames.
Alvin Libin is a seniors care tycoon who founded Extendicare. In Feb the CBC learned it locked up diapers to limit their use while incontinent residents sat in urine-soaked pads, suffering from severe bladder and yeast infections, rashes and open wounds cbc.ca/amp/1.5470130

Jason Kenney's conspiracy-theory-fuelled anti-environmentalist inquiry finally produced its interim report last month, so we put in a FOIP to get a look at it. You won't believe what we found #ableg
Turns out this public inquiry isn't very public at all. Our request for the interim report was denied. But if you read the letter there is an interesting detail in there:
Our request for a copy of the interim report turned up 11 pages of records. Just 11! The commissioner has produced an 11 page interim report and the public isn't even allowed to look at it? This is a public inquiry?

Ok, let's do this. Clearly @WBrettWilson needs to pay to clean up his old wells. The first step is finding them and re-uniting Brett with his orphans. Hivemind, can you help us find them? Can you help us find a site by Well ID?
If you click the link and search for Forent Energy you can find Brett's orphans. But the Orphan Well Association doesn't give you a ton of info, just well ID. orphanwell.ca/wp-content/upl…
We don't know a way to do this easily so we'd love your help. If you're not comfortable doing it in public please DM us, they're open.

While we are frequent critics of the Postmedia corporation, recent conduct by the Edmonton Journal, Calgary Herald, and Calgary Sun has sunk to such ethical and professional lows that we feel compelled to speak out with particular urgency. Please consider the following thread.
The two examples we would like to discuss are from the Sun's Rick Bell (“Kenney Blasts Drug Site Disorder,” Jan 21) and the Journal’s David Staples (“Preaching that fossil fuels are the enemy of humanity has no place in classrooms, Jan 29)
Bell’s Jan 29 column, which aggressively promotes the UCP administration’s anti-safe-consumption-site position, embraces dehumanizing language to demonize a marginalized population.
