@CPC_HQ 1/ In Alberta, Conservatives don't believe in lifting everyone up. They reduced minimum wage for the young, increased tuition, are wanting rollbacks - retroactive - for HCW and PSE. They overpay their Con racist pals, increase corporate welfare and reduce accountability.
@CPC_HQ 2/ And @jkenney is your pal, and just like you. He made promises too. He broke them. He canceled contracts just because the previous govt made them - politicking, not governing. He gambled and list - billiins of $ and thousands of lives.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #UCPcorruption
@CPC_HQ @jkenney 3/ Like you, he surrounded himself with incompetent ideologues. People who don't understand ethics and who break the law.

That's what we saw even before he was elected. Like you and your lawbreaking Willy Wonka meme, your defaming Senator, your racist MPs.

@CPC_HQ is like
@CPC_HQ @jkenney 4/ @Alberta_UCP right down to the confirmed election frauds, the lies, the harassment.

Like Kenney's Grassroots Guarantee and his health care pledge, your promises are as phony as Andrew Scheer's bio was.

Kenney, Ford - corruption and incompetence is but part of it.
@CPC_HQ @jkenney @Alberta_UCP 5/ There is no way to fix the rot in your parties.

Ask #abpoli. We can tell you how widespread the rot is in Alberta. Courting racists, firing whistleblowers, hiring known racists and homophobes, funnelling contracts to their pals.

Hijacking teachers' pensions, spending
@CPC_HQ @jkenney @Alberta_UCP 6/ millions on propagandists, hiding from accountability by creating their private $30M/yr war room, spending millions on the Krause conspiracy theory after it had been debunked.

Rank and file Albertans believed Cons and they're paying the price while the Cons grift.

1/ Yesterday I tried on some clothes at Winners. The lighting in the fitting rooms was wonderfully unflattering. I looked old and fat.

It's a bit like a funhouse mirror, but more frightening.

I've shrunk an inch or so from my 30s. Now at 6'2"+ and 173 lbs, I'm not

#yegartist
2/ in the overweight ranges of the charts. I feel great.

So I did a quick set of measurements.

Chest is 40", waist 33", hips 39.5".

The clothing was my size and seemed to fit nicely. But there's no denying the light made my body look bulgy and saggy and grey.
3/ I don't usually look at mirrors at home - get out of the shower, which is in a room that has no mirror, run a comb through my hair, use the electric shaver on my face, and throw some clothes on.

But lately I have been going to the gym, so I see myself in mirrors more often.

A thread about politicians and Ethics Commissioners.

The recently released AB Ethics Commissioner's report on whether or not the Minister of Education @AdrianaLaGrange acted inappropriately in the procurement process for masks has sparked reactions that suggest some background
2/ would help people understand the import better.

Starting with the creation of the Office of the Wthics Commissioner by the PCAA govt led by Don Getty.

It was the last year of his premiership. He had already given us Family Day - one day a year to prevent our children from
3/ becoming criminals. That's a different story, though.

In 1991 the legislation was introduced, in 1992 the Ethics Commissioner was appointed on April Fool's Day. (And Conservative govts have treated it as a joke ever since.) By 1993 it was a fully operational office.

1/ Keeping an eye on drug house's customer, who made it as far as the empty lot - which means she's outside our kitchen window.

We gave our naloxone kit to another who needed it this week, but there's a drugstore at the corner...

#yegdt #NotAngryAB @jasonluan88
2/ She's okay, so far. Moving now, slowly. Getting herself together.

Looks like she'll be okay.

Doesn't know I'm keeping an eye out for her from inside - not just in case of overdose, but in case of assault or theft.

I resent the drug house for the way it eats their lives and
3/ selfishly for the way it turns the neighbours into caregivers, security guards, informants.

She's managed to get to her feet. Fix her hair, like she's in a trance. Saunter away in slow mo.

Didn't need the kit. Phew.

All of it very quiet, not like the nightly commotion of

1/ Can we think for a moment about the @UCPCaucus and Postmedia "journalists" misinformation and lies about the selection of @SenateCA members for Alberta?

Because there's some really serious crap going on there, and the situation ISN'T what @jkenney is falsely claiming.
#abpoli
2/ First, the selection process. Kenney and his lackey Postmedia columnists want you to think Albertans have no say in the current selection process - that an election would be more democratic.

This is not really true.

The Senate selection process was changed. There is now an
3/ independent committee with a changing membership that uses an open application process and then makes recommendations to the PM.

The committee is reconstituted based on which region's going to have senate vacancies.

So there are Albertans on the Alberta selection committee

1/ As knives come out in UCP over the Sky Palace Dinner, let's spare a moment to think about how none of these MLAs broke ranks over racism, over moneylaundering, identity theft, election fraud, harassment, homophobia, attacks on the poor, the war on MDs, the

#abpoli #ableg
2/ hijacking of ATRF, the shenanigans to pervert #abpse, the compulsive lying, the widespread incompetence, the abuses of democracy - none of those were enough to make the UCP MLAs take a stand on principle.

But the Sky Palace Dinner does.

Because it's about showing the public
3/ the government's entitlement. It isn't about ideology and policy - which most Albertans seem not to mind - but about character.

Redford was seduced by it. Prentice was seduced by it. Both started with seeming genuine intention of serving Alberta, but seemed to lose their way

1/ True story:

My parents weren't keen on having kids around. They didn't like the idea of birthday parties with lots of local kids.

So one year they announced a new policy: the child who was having a birthday could celebrate by having dinner at a restaurant of their choosing.
2/ Not only that - it would just be the birthday child, not the others.

So my brother's 12th was celebrated at A&W, which we often went to for a treat after church on Sundays.

My sister's 4th was celebrated at the newly opened McDonald's.

My turn came. It would be my 10th.
3/ They asked where I wanted to go. We lived in Montréal, and they might have expected me to choose St. Hubert (chicken) or Ruby Foo's (Chinese Canadian).

I chose Le Tournebroche, a French restaurant in the Chateau Champlain hotel.

Started with the oxtail soup. Have no memory
