Mike Nickel's campaign paid for a billboard attacking Aaron Paquette and Andrew Knack for not being anti-maskers.

Posted to reddit about @scotiasinger's tweet asking about the billboard.

Looks like @CrystalGlassLTD donated $5000 to Mike Nickel's election campaign.

disclosure here:
edmonton.ca/sites/default/…🔗

I wonder if they donate to the #UCP too.

#yeg #yegcc Image
Edit! $6000. There is another $1000 donation on a different page.

Edit edit: Round the Clock Advertising has the same address as Crystal Glass and gave another $2250. Apparently both businesses are owned by Ken Franczek, which brings the total to $8250 from this one guy for Nickel's election campaign.

What were the donation limits then? ImageImage
Finally, why did @EFFU_209 & Coalition of Edmonton Civic Unions donate a combined total of $4,300 to an anti-labour candidate like Mike Nickel in the last municipal election?

@CSU52 @CoalitionRep @ufcw401 @CupeAB would you care to comment on this?

#yeg #yegcc #abpoli ImageImageImage
Let's not forget that Mike Nickel basically a Manning Centre puppet.

Also, @ATULocal569 should be on the list of unions for donating $5000 to help anti-labour candidate Mike Nickel’s election campaign in 2017.

I overlooked their entry earlier.

If you want to see examples of how wealthy people get richer from public funding from all levels of government, I list a few examples in this thread.

Finally, the story of Mike Nickel’s anti-labour billboard and the responses to it inspired me to do a little creative writing.

It’s silly. I don’t give myself much time to be creative in these dark times. #yegcc

Now I want to see a sort of buddy-cop show with @aaronpaquette and @AndrewKnack going around #yeg helping people, & generally making the world a better place.

Every episode some Dark Money “Dr. Claw” type figure tries some evil scheme that gets thwarted…

Maybe call it #yegcc?
In one scene @aaronpaquette needs to look “tough” for some weird reason. He pulls it off, but prefers smiling.

In another, @AndrewKnack’s blue tie is missing, so he ends up wearing a pink one. Everyone he meets loves the pink tie!

@RyanParkers photographs them both.📸
In a crossover episode, The Littlest Hobo shows up to help @AndrewKnack & @aaronpaquette solve a problem.

@RyanParkers gets the photo!

Dark Money Dr. Claw is thwarted again!

Everyone cheers.

Littlest Hobo heads out to help another town. Maybe #yyc or #reddeer. Roll credits.

Does anyone know much about this “Enterprise Canada” group? Kenney is trying to make one of their VP’s a Senator.

The last time I looked into a group like this, the tracks went straight back to Kenney, with funding from big oil and cronyism.

@mini_bubbly

Might be worth knowing about this group. 👆

@Isuckatpicking Want to know why rates are all going up almost in lockstep?

This will take a couple of tweets to explain.

In short: you’re paying for climate change.
@Isuckatpicking The insurance industry is sort-of pyramid shaped. Small brokers sell insurance from small insurance companies, but small insurance companies need insurance too. So they get insurance from bigger companies to limit their own risk, just in case.
@Isuckatpicking Follow that shape,& in essence, everyone’s insurance ends up being insured by a handful of very large players at the top who may as well only offer insurance to insurance companies.

This is the shape that this industry has evolved into over many decades. It was stable.

I'm going to try to live tweet the #GreenLine meeting with the #UCP members...

I've never really done this before, they talk faster than I can type.

#ableg #yyccc
Ric McIver starts by introducing the project. He emphasizes that "this is the city's project"

"It's not our project, it's the city's project"

he repeats.

#yyc #yyccc #GreenLine
Question: why has the project been delayed?

McIver: The delays are the city's fault.
