#Ableg Weekly News 🧵 (1/8)

Alberta….this was a AWFUL week of bad polls, Shantrums, lies and throwing people under the bus.

It wasn’t AS bad as last week…but my goodness - it was UGLY

Ready for a ride??? Let’s go!!!
#Ableg News 🧵 (2/8)

1. UCP’s Brock Harrison justified 0 restrictions saying Alberta is “above the national average” in vaxes

100% lie!

We’re 2nd worst in Canada in 1st doses and closer to Florida than Canada’s average!

Canada: 71.1%
Alberta: 65.9%
Florida: 58.4%

Yikes…
#Ableg News 🧵 (3/8)

2. Kenney said he reinstated UCP MLA Pat “Texas” Rehn several municipalities supported him.

SURPRISE!!! Nobody supported him!

3. Shandro backtracked after saying he wasn’t going to release the review of the UCP’s handling of Covid. Where is it?
#Ableg News 🧵 (4/8)

This is UGLY!!

4. Alberta Health Services Board member Jack Mintz is ALSO on the board of a company that produces private COVID rapid tests!

This is a MASSIVE conflict of interest:

Thank you @hatjuice1. Honestly #ableg - read. twitter.com/hatjuice1/stat
#Ableg News Thread (5/8)

5. Madu’s embarrasses Alberta AGAIN after the Canadian gov’t denied his request to allow “prohibited weapons” on the street

6. Madu is also secretly meeting with rural Alberta leaders to sell them on an APP, but WON’T tell them the MASSIVE cost.
#Ableg News 🧵(6/8):

7. In typical Shandro style - our Minister of Health sent a bizarre 12-thread long rant about how unfair it is that Ottawa expressed concerns about canceling covid-19 restrictions.

He ignored we have:
- 2nd worst vax uptakes in 🇨🇦
- Worst outbreak in 🇨🇦
#Ableg News 🧵 (7/8)

8. After Kenney blamed Hinshaw for the move to 0 Covid-19 restrictions, the doctor (and Licia Corbella) released coinciding media articles

- Kids are more at risk for sprained ankles
- learn to live with Covid
- we should turn our attention to syphilis 🤦🏻‍♂️
#Ableg News 🧵 (8/8)

FINALLY: Good News!

The NDP are CRUSHING IT! In recent polls, the NDP are ahead in Calgary, Edmonton, and surging in rural regions.

Between the donations and polls - Alberta, we have hope!

Keep fighting!!!
As always: THANK YOU to so many people:

Thank you to @lizzyinyyc, @youseepeeYYC, @a_bagainst, @MichelletypoQ, @InsiderOilers and so many others for fighting!

#Ableg News Time!!! (1/12)

Quite frankly, this is the WORST Week I’ve seen for the UCP yet!

Dog whistles, gaslighting, and abandoning their role to protect Albertans…and several awful stories in-between

Ready to ride?
Buckle Alberta…let’s go!

#Ableg News 🧵 (2/12)

1. Kenney lands historic Child Care Deal!

JUST KIDDING!

Kenney announced a “child care plan for Alberta” but NOT the $10/day. They ONLY signed an extension of a 2017 deal reached under the NDP

This was the first big lie of the week it just gets worse.
#Anleg News 🧵 (3/12)

2. The CBC found that UCP lied about new covid cases. The ACTUAL cases were 176% higher than what was reported. WTAF 😳 y

3. An Alberta-dominant Senate committee appoints an Albertan, making Kenney’s referendum useless! Kenney pouts about fairness. 😂

#Ableg News 🧵 (1/8)

Another week, another 7-days of UCP blunders 🤦🏻‍♂️

Let’s take a look at a few:

1. Kenney’s silently bailing out “struggling” multi-billion dollar utility companies by adding new ‘fees’ to OUR already skyrocketing energy bills 💰 (don’t worry - not a tax)
#Ableg News 🧵(2/8)

2. Kenney declares “Covid pandemic officially over”, Scolds Albertans for listening to scientists and data. 🤦🏻‍♂️

3. Alberta STILL has the 2nd highest number of unvaccinated citizens. Perhaps we need more hunting licenses as incentive? 🎯

It gets worse…
#Ableg News 🧵(3/8)

4. Alberta’s Health Minister has a Shantrum, saying AHS bed closures “aren’t THAT bad”, and then blames the NDP? 😬

5. UCP @MikeEllisUCP breaches the privacy of patients for a petty photo op at a treatment facility

Will there be ANY consequences?

#Ableg News 🧵! (1/7)

Another UGLY week for Kenney and the @UCPCaucus!

Let’s review the last 7-days:

1. In June: Alberta’s unemployment rate for 18-24 Y.O. spiked to 18.1%, we lost -37,000 FT jobs and 228,000 Albertans are looking for work!

Kenney’s Solution: Don’t Complain!
#Ableg News (2/7)

2. O&G Companies are seeing MASSIVE profits; but no jobs. Kenney is now BEGGING CEO’s for help; clearly the less talked about stage of trickle down economics

3 In a leaked interview Kenney admitted he gave a $6B bail out to TC who knew KXL would fail
#Abpoli
#Ableg News (3/7)

4. 99 Alberta hospital beds closed and there’s more every day. Shandro said he knew this was going to happen, so why did he do nothing to prepare for it?

5. Kenney’s good pal and HUGE UCP member John “Rosa Parks” Carpay BUSTED for spying on a judge
