Changing our clocks twice a year stinks.

The vast majority of Albertans have wanted to dump the practice for years.

But thanks to the constant pressure of soulless corps like @WestJet, and out billionaire-serving NHL teams, the practice drags on.

Here’s another article that points out how the billionaire-serving NHL teams in the province attacked the NDP on this issue.

buzzfeed.com/ishmaeldaro/al…
Both Billionaire Daryl Katz and Billionaire N. Murray Edwards are members of the anti-labour Alberta Enterprise Group.

AEG uses Wellington Advocacy to lobby the #UCP for policy decisions.
While @WestJet isn’t a member of AEG, they are also clients of Wellington Advocacy.
Wellington Advocacy was created in 2019 and is made up of several of Kenney’s former staffers.

They have been incredibly effective in “lobbying” for their clients in Alberta.
Another organization to note is the “True North Centre.”

“Founded by Candice Malcolm, a former spokesperson for Jason Kenney and the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, & Kaz Nejatian, Malcolm’s husband, also a former trusted Kenney staffer.”

This guy sounds like a teenager with affluenza raging against parents that already bought him a car, got him a job, and paid off a crooked judge to keep him out of truble after gunning down a wild horse on a woman’s private property and threatening to murder her.
"It feels good," said Jason Nixon.

“Police [were] investigating the deaths of more than 22 other horses in the same area since 2007.”

I just want to give a big thank-you to @AB_MD_WarRoom for all the work they’ve done to raise awareness about the #UCP’s war on doctors, and the erosion of healthcare.

Best of luck to all physicians in the province on their upcoming @Albertadoctors vote.
Here’s one of the issues they were active about:

“The #UCP Government of Premier Jason Kenney had something to celebrate in that war: What appeared to be the unconditional surrender of the @Albertadoctors bargaining committee.”

Here’s something @AB_MD_WarRoom posted only yesterday.

I was lucky enough to grab a screen shot.

Meanwhile over in covid denial, Alberta, anti-intellectualism doubles down on selfishness, covid is a hoax, and something about bum swabs. 🤷‍♂️
Remember that we are all in our own media silos. People who are unable to tell bad sources from factual sources often repeat and amplify misinformation.

Misinformation can be dangerous.
Jason Kenney began his career at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

The CTF is a foreign funded organization who’s mandate is to spread misinformation.

He was platformed again and again.

That misinformation spread.

“I ❤️ Oil & Gas” is Alberta’s MAGA hat.

Never trust anyone who wears this logo.
The “I ❤️ Oil & Gas” brand is operated by @CanadaAction, which has deep ties to Conservatives in Alberta.

h/t @thenarwhalca

The brand was launhed by Cody Battershill.

Likely with seed money from John Battershill, a chiropracteur who operates in Calgary, and drives an I ❤️ oil branded truck.

Imagine bragging about how many people were infected with a preventable disease due to the gross negligence of Conservative premiers to manage the pandemic.
In terms of rates, it’s like Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta were competing to have the highest case rates.
Under Kenney, Alberta has had more covid DEATHS than Nova Scotia has total cases.
