.@jkenney is still hiding from the public and dodging questions about the resignations and demotions of many of his closest UCP colleagues. This act of political cowardice wasn't the first time he's gone missing.

A few examples:

THREAD 1/ 6 #Ableg calgarysun.com/opinion/column…
At the end of 2019, the UCP fired the election commissioner who was investigating the UCP's own leadership election. One of the most brazen acts I've seen in my time in politics.

Where was @jkenney? Hiding in Texas. Silent, cowardly. #ableg 2/6 thestar.com/edmonton/2019/…
As the second wave of #COVIDAB hit, @jkenney went missing for 10 days. Silence. No leadership. During that time, 73 Albertans died.

#WhereIsKenney trended for days. #ableg 3/6 edmonton.ctvnews.ca/albertans-aski…
When we were debating his attacks on workers in 2019, @jkenney actually handed out earplugs in the Legislature. Petulant, childish, dangerous, cruel and entitled: a perfect encapsulation of this Premier. #ableg 4/6 globalnews.ca/news/5412541/a…
Jason Kenney claimed to go on an RV tour, but he went missing then, too. Where did he show up? The Banff Springs Hotel. #ableg 5/6 albertapolitics.ca/2020/07/little…
The Premier's latest disappearance is part of a pattern of silence and duplicity: @jkenney believes he is above the rules. He thinks he can simply ignore Albertans. But Albertans are angry and he can't fix this problem by ignoring it. #ableg 6/6 END

We're all rightly angry about the arrogance and entitlement on display in the UCP vacation scandal, but remember that @jkenney's entire approach to the pandemic has been defined by cruelty and incompetence.

Here's a few main points.

THREAD 1/13 #ableg globalnews.ca/news/7551875/k…
He began by laying off 20,000+ education workers.

That was one of his first actions: ensuring that an additional 20,000+ Albertans had to worry about paying rent, putting food on the table, buying clothes for their kids, etc. Cruel. #ableg 2/13 calgaryherald.com/opinion/braid-…
He gave himself and his Ministers sweeping new powers with Bill 10 (and then subverted a review of that decision). #ableg 3/13 calgaryherald.com/opinion/corbel…

Since @jkenney does nothing these days except complain and try to distract from his record, let's give him a reminder.

THREAD

Before the pandemic, his disastrous policies were already seeing Alberta shed jobs by the tens of thousands. 1/16 #ableg #abpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…
When companies began to leave or refuse to relocate in Alberta because of @jkenney's destructive policies, he demonized them instead of changing course. Brilliant strategy, Premier. 2/16 #ableg #abpoli #UCPincompetence thelogic.co/news/alberta-g…
He cancelled all the programs that were diversifying our economy: from film to clean energy, everything got cut.

It will take years to recover from this vandalism. 3/16 #ableg #abpoli taprootedmonton.ca/news/2019/11/0…

We're all concerned by the UCP's botched school reopening plan, but remember that they have been trying to destroy public ed from the start.

Here's a summary.

First, they forced school boards to remove “public” from their name. THREAD 1/ #abed #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
Then the UCP's 2019 budget gutted Education funding by failing to provide a single dollar to cover the extra *15,000* students entering schools. Not one dollar.

And that was after promising to fund enrollment growth. Another UCP lie. 2/ #abed #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…
The UCP then forced school boards to deplete their reserves simply in order to fund their operations. 3/ #abed #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

The Green Line is vital to building a modern economy in
Calgary and will create 20,000 jobs at a time when our city desperately needs
them. But UCP insiders have launched a coordinated campaign to kill the
project. #yyc #yyccc #YYC4transit #GreenLineYYC #ableg
The group took part in a closed door meeting with city officials in February in an
attempt to stop the project. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
This group includes Steve Allan, the commissioner of the
UCP’s inquiry into the funding of environmental organizations and campaigner for @doug_schweitzer. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
