We have just confirmed directly with someone who is intimately aware of how @jkenney and the @UCPCaucus do business that it is impossible that the premiers office was unaware of his traveling MLA’s.

Not only does this effectively confirm that @jkenney appears to have deliberately misled Albertans, but it also seems to confirm that @TanyYao is deliberately being thrown under the bus.

This person is confident that @jkenney likely advised against travel, but did not forbid it, and the many staffers and MLA’s decided to do what they wanted to.
On Sundays we’re supposed to be thankful for something.
Today, we just want to thank Comms Pros Michael Forian & @ElizaSnider8 for having the lack of foresight to be the first to post pictures of their Hawaii vacation of their own volition.

Without them, it would have eventually come out with UCP MLA’s posting pictures, displaying that same lack of judgement, but those two really got the ball rolling.
1 - We’ve taken another look at @PugetSoundPSR, who published the original internet post that we were DM’d yesterday from an individual who has proven to be quite reliable.
PSR appears to be a quite a far right leaning organization, and that forces some questions...
2 - First of all, how does a small, apparently independent organization out of BC get leaked info on an Alberta based radio host?
Secondly, why does PSR have a ready to go theory for RJ’s departure, particularly one so inflammatory?
3 - @ryanjespersen has been a fixture in Alberta Talk Radio for quite some time. Why has his removal been so quietly done up until today?
1 - Despite the fact that the @Alberta_UCP and @jkenney campaigned on what they claimed were morality and ethics, their creation of the @CDNEnergyCentre has shown that what they’ve brought to Alberta is anything but...
2 - We forwarded our discovery to (among others) the Ethics Commissioner, hoping that the Office of the Ethics Commissioner would be able to do something to force some ethical behavior from @jkenney and his @Alberta_UCP.
3 - It seems there’s no doubt that @jkenney, the @UCPCaucus and the @Alberta_UCP have misled Albertans as to what their real values are, because they certainly appear to have grossly compromised what they claimed they stood for.
3 - And while it’s absolutely true that Covid is not airborne, @CMOH_Alberta was also clear that proximity is a critical factor in transmission, which is not the message the @UCPCaucus sent yesterday.
