It revealed that:
🤦🏻‍♂️ Shandro failed to properly communicate with municipalities
😬 Kenney failed to make ANY adjustments for Wave 2 / 3
#Ableg News 🧵 (3/12)

2. Despite Kenney’s attempts to sell off our eastern slopes to Australian miners - Trudeau stepped in and rejected it (Thank you Trudeau)

3. While Alberta’s unemployment rate dropped to 8.5% #YYC grew to 9.8%

Kenney’s STILL down -53,000 jobs in Alberta!
#Ableg News 🧵 (4/12)

4. Kenney gets upset that the Fed’s warned him about his rolling back Covid-19 restrictions and says he won’t back down.(lol!)

5. Deloitte is STILL getting paid for the USELESS 0-User AB TraceTogether App! They’ve received $1,472,746 so far!
#Ableg News 🧵 (5/12)

6.During a webinar with AB MD’s, Hinshaw claimed she had approval from the Alberta College of Family Physicians on her covid 19 rollback

🤥 This was a MASSIVE lie:

No professional college has supported Hinshaw’s reckless move. Not a single darn one!
#Ableg News 🧵 (6/12)

The most RIDICULOUS stories this week:

7. UCP MLA Jay Stephan got mad - complaining it cost him $84 for chalk removal. (@DrAnneIrwin - I’ll gladly chip in)

#Ableg News 🧵 (7/12)

9. The Alberta Medical Association sends an open letter to Kenney, criticizing him for endangering kids 12
&.under

10. Alberta’s political, medical & legal experts call out Kenney’s staffers for targeted harassment. It’s an incredible article! @Lorian_H

11. Despite Telus Babylon & Shandro promising “local” MD’s - it’s discovered all 14 MD are not in Alberta - and suck @ privacy legislation

#Ableg News 🧵 (9/12)

13. SURPRISE! Shandro’s latest appointment to AHS Board: his campaign organizer and best pal! He’s an oil executive with 0 medical experience.

14. Biden announces he’d rather have OPEC increase oil production than approve Kenney’s KXL pipeline. Ouch!!
#Ableg News Feed (10/12)

15. @ricmciver’s seeking to make the Code of Conduct, which holds Alberta’s elected officials accountable for their actions, irrelevant.

The UCP doesn’t give 2 💩 💩 about integrity in Alberta politics

Check out this thread
#Ableg News 🧵 (11/12)

I like to end on a positive note, but there’s no good polls or donor news.

But let’s celebrate: the UCP is reversing the decision to prematurely end testing/tracing/isolation

The biggest reason: 2-weeks of Albertans keeping up the pressure

THANK YOU!!!
#Ableg News 🧵 (12/12)

#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 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!
#Abpoli
#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
