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.

I wonder if they donate to the #UCP too.

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?

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?

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
