In the #ableg right now, Rachel Notley is pointing out Kenney’s many lies and half-truths about how many jobs will actually be created here. Kenney’s typical ‘NDP is cheering against Alberta’.

Kenney is such a ridiculous parody of himself. His arguments are laughable. Rachel Notley “When it comes to job killing, these guys don’t need advice from anybody.”

NDP is pressing UCP on whether there is an ‘actual plan to create jobs’. Kenney keeps saying that there are various companies like Infosys and Rogers intend to create 100s of jobs. That is not a ‘plan’ though.

Kenney just called NDP ‘a bunch of Edmonton socialists who just want to shut down the oil & gas sector’. He’s really reeling off the UCP greatest hits today. Any question anyone asks, he says it’s ‘cheering against Alberta’.

Kenney wants to know why NDP won’t help them appeal to get the KXL money back.

UCP “It’s not our fault” buzzwords:
-the covid recession
-unprecedented investment
-NDP wants to shut down Alberta’s largest industry
-NDP & their special interest friends
-NDP wants to raise taxes by 50%

Nicholas Miliken lobs a face-saving question to Kenney about ‘Trudeau’s carbon tax’. Kenney says Trudeau’s plan to raise the tax is ‘gruesome’ and will cost Alberta 31,000 jobs and $1800/yr. Too bad we aren’t still in control of that tax then, I guess.

Kenney calls it, alternately, the NDP-Liberal carbon tax, the job-killing carbon tax and the Trudeau carbon tax as well as a ‘constitutional Trojan horse’. The pivot to Trudeau bashing here is painfully obvious as they made themselves look like idiots over job creation.

Now Shandro is spouting off about how the ‘Trudeau government did not get us vaccines’. Shandro: ‘The NDP is covering for the Trudeau government and them pulling the rug out from under us in February,’ in response to why, in mid-March, some seniors are not getting appointments.
