Imagine having an opportunity to end homelessness and have a lasting legacy of fighing poverty but instead deciding to spend $613 Million to build a house for Billionaire Daryl Katz’s NHL team.

#yeg #ableg #cdnpoli
Imagine selling the naming rights to one of the worst price-gauging telecoms in the world.

#ableg #yeg #yegcc

cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Imagine sending your city’s police force to rob Edmonton’s growing homeless population of their few belongings... when it’s below -30C outside.

The next day Daryl Katz would host Mark Chipman at the $613M house #yeg built.

The same night that Billionaire Daryl Katz’s sports team plays Busisman Mark Chipman’s sports team, @edmontonpolice clear homeless from a LRT station just a 12 minute walk from the $613M house built for Daryl Katz.

The weather has warmed to -21C.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Billionaire Daryl Katz is known for his philanthropy.

The year before the Rogers Place arena deal was approved BIllionaire Daryl Katz gave $430,000 to the Provincial Conservative Party.

nationalpost.com/news/politics/…
Billionaire Daryl Katz may do the same sort of palm greasing—er philanthropy—today, but now he does so through 3rd parties like the Alberta Enterprise Group, which is affiliated with Wellington Advocacy—a lobby firm made of Kenney’s ex-staffers.

https://t.co/a6uL62nvQE
Since #yeg spent $613 Million on a house for Billionaire Daryl Katz’s NHL team, the city’s homeless population was estimated to be between 1971-2252.

#yegcc contributed roughly $272,202.49 to house Billionaire Daryl Katz’s NHL team for each of the city’s homeless.
Remember, in a city with billionaires, the existence of homelessness is a choice.

“[the report said] Calgary, Ottawa and Edmonton each have more than 20,000 vacant properties,”

#abpoli #yeg #yegcc

ctvnews.ca/canada/tens-of…
#yegcc chose to support Billionaire Daryl Katz’s sports group instead of the city’s most vulnerable.

Instead they rely on the work of non-billionaire private citizens like the Bear Clan Patrol to support the city’s needy.

The Bear Clan Patrol shouldn’t be needed in a city wealthy enough for Billionaire Daryl Katz to become a billionaire.

There should be no homeless.

But choices are hard. I guess.

#yeg #yegcc #cdnpoli

Nevertheless if you see someone outside in the cold in Edmonton in the dead of winter, here’s how to contact the Bear Clan Patrol.

Thanks, @TaylorMadeYYC.

https://t.co/Md5uJXzgXK
Sorry, I linked to @TaylorMadeYYC’s post showing contact info for Calgary’s Bear Clan Patrol.

Here’s the correct info for Edmonton.

Thanks again, Taylor.

If you’d like to learn a bit more about the Bear Clan Patrol, @UbakaOgbogu prepared a little thread earlier today. Thanks, Ubaka!

Important reminder to everyone that @bostonpizza is a member of the Conservative anti-labour lobby group, Restaurants Canada, which opposes living wages for workers and supports the #UCP and their anti-2SLGBTQ+ social policies.

Jordon Holm is listed as a board member.

Receipts. In this thread 🧵👇

It’s fair to point out that @bostonpizza isn’t the only company that supports the #UCP despite their anti-2SLGBTQ+ position.

@PizzaPizzaLtd also shares those politics. 🧵👇

If you want to find a list of vilains in the province—and their sponsors—just pay attention to the companies who advertise on the boards.

Many will have ties to Conservatives. Image
An obvious connection is Jason Kenney, former lobbyist for the so called Canadian Taxpayer Federation, who is now on the board of the Alberta Trailer Company.

Somehow ATCO has become a behemoth in overcharging you to get heat. Image
Pathways Alliance: “This group includes Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Cenovus Energy, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial, MEG Energy, and Suncor Energy. Together, they control a whopping 95% of Canada’s oil sands production.”

This is the future that people like Murray Edwards, The Irvings, Exon, and other oil companies made for us. This is the future that Conservatives and other neoliberals enabled through capitalism. Only the future is now.

Drill, baby. Drill. https://t.co/qbOC4wmW4J
Have you ever watched a pot boil? A bubble of steam forms at the bottom of a pot and erupts outward to the surface of the water.

Now we’ve got a sort of slow moving “bubble” of heat getting “stuck.”

Look at it.

Look at the sea temperatures. This is pretty much what environmentalists have been warning about since I was a kid. I grew up watching @DavidSuzuki)
This is it.

Canada is experiencing it’s worst wildfire season. There are tremendous issues with unaffordable housing and homelessness. Drug poisoning is now the leading cause of death in BC.

And this is what Conservatives do with their time in Parliament.
Let’s look at some of the ghouls jumping on this complete-waste-of-government-time bandwagon.

Here’s usual suspect “I don’t know how this works” Lantsman wasting time.

And here’s a Conservative lobbyists celebrating inaction on… everything I guess. Another ghoul.

Few Canadians have caused more harm to the world than Murray Edwards. The Irving dynasty is one of them. For generations they have ruled New Brunswick with an iron fist. Irving considering exiting the oil business is a big deal.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…
The Irving family is one of the largest land owners in the world. For generations they have robbed the citizens of New Brunswick and of Canada.

mondediplo.com/2019/04/13cana…
Recently the Irvings sold the English Language that they used to dominate the media in New Brunswick to Postmedia. Jamie Irving was appointed to the head of the Canada-wide propaganda company.

Four years ago I launched this account with the intent to be a sh!t-posting satire account in the lead up to the 2019 election.

In that time, much has changed. Including me.

1/x
For one thing, I learned that good satire is reeealy hard to do.

Some people on here make it look easy. To those who can find humour in dark times, that is your gift, and I thank you.

I pretty much gave up on being a satire account.

2/x
Paying the closest attention to politics that I ever had placed horrific things front and centre.

There are too many to mention.

Just read @bailrs’ list. Follow him while you’re there.
