At Thursday’s Emergency Advisory Committee meeting we were told that AHS did not have any information about what would trigger either a loosening or tightening of restrictions. We are 8 months into this, the public should have this information. #ableg#abpoli#COVID19AB#yeg
The lack of transparency is troubling. There’s no downside with sharing information like that with the public as it allow us to fully understand the challenges before us. Once we understand the challenges, we can work together to overcome those challenges. #ableg#abpoli
We all want to help by doing what we can to protect the health and well-being of our community. We all want to protect our economy from a collapse. We all want to help those in social isolation. These are common goals and yet we don’t have a plan we can all follow. #ableg#abpoli
Everyone's using the phrase, "We're all in this together." But those words are meaningless if we don't have the information to come together as a community.
Trust Albertans to rise to the occasion. We can get through this if given the chance to work together.
But then I see this. If this is the provincial government’s plan, I’d almost rather have no plan. Pushing hospitals to the limit is heartless. This will not only sacrifice our seniors, it will end up hurting our economy more than if we took action now. #ableg#abpoli#COVID19AB
I’m glad to see this update but the first 4 tweets still stand. If we are making evidence-based decisions, Albertans need a clear understanding of what will trigger different actions. We all want to do our part, that starts with being transparent. #ableg#abpoli#COVID19AB#yeg
Bill 29 (Local Authorities Election Amendment Act) are being debated right now. The bill is a huge step backwards and will only advantage incumbents and those that who are connected to wealthy donors. It also reduces transparency. #ableg#abpoli#yegcc#yyccc#yegvote
A friendly reminder: the extremely short public survey has never been released publicly so no one actually knows what Albertans wanted to see for changes. #ableg#abpoli#yegcc#yyccc#yegvote
Premier @jkenney is speaking in the Legislature right now and suggesting that Bill 29 will somehow encourage more people to run and get involved even though this Bill is a return to the old system with less transparency. #ableg#abpoli#yegcc#yyccc#yegvote
Today all Albertans will have an opportunity to decide who they would like to serve them for the next four years.
This decision should not be taken lightly. The people we elect to serve us will send a clear message to others what our collective priorities are. #abvote#abpoli
For many, the primary issue will be the economy. I can’t fault someone for prioritizing that. There are some communities that have been hit harder than others and addressing that concern may be the most important and immediate issue for them.
I completely understand why someone would focus on the economy because for most of my life, I have put the economy above any other issue.
