It’s 3 a.m. and the 2020 Fall Sitting of the 30th Alberta Legislature has concluded. #ableg 1/10

Jason Kenney and the UCP shut down debate on a number of their horrendous bills, including one to strip away workers protections and supports for the very Albertans on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. #ableg 2/10

The Government also rammed through legislation to accelerate their failed $4.7-billion corporate handout tonight. #ableg 3/10

Earlier in the session, the UCP passed broad legislation to put tolls on new Alberta roads and existing roads that are under construction. They also stripped away rights for drivers injured in motor-vehicle collisions. #ableg 4/10

The UCP pushed forward healthcare legislation with glaring privacy holes that have been flagged by the Information and Privacy Commissioner. #ableg 5/10

While all of that is part of this Government’s terrible strategy to pander and prop up their friends and insiders on the backs of everyday Albertans, I believe the primary reason they’re running from #ableg is to avoid accountability on their failed COVID-19 response. 6/10

Had we been sitting and in Question Period Wednesday, we would have asked why the Premier waited so long to act to slow the spread of the deadly virus? #ableg 7/10

Why did he sit on his hands throughout the month of November as 317 Albertans died and the number of patients in intensive care rose by 300 per cent? #ableg 8/10

Albertans deserve answers. They also deserve transparency on the next steps to fix our crumbling healthcare system, on action to support staff and residents in continuing care, on making our schools safer, on supporting hurting Alberta businesses and so much more. #ableg 9/10

Premier, you have failed to lead us during likely the greatest public health emergency we’ve ever faced. I urge you to apologize and take ownership of the mistakes made so we can come together to combat COVID-19 and keep Albertans safe. #ableg 10/10
