#Ableg News Thread (1/13)

Happy Friday #Abpoli!

The week was another TERRIBLE week for the @UCPCaucus; Covid is spreading, cronyism is running WILD and Kenney is NOWHERE when we need him a leader!

Ready for a wild series of stories this week? Me too! Let’s go!
@n_droo_yu_el
#Ableg News 🧵 (2/13)

1. UCP MLA Tracy “Honolulu” Allard calls out LaGrange’s aggressive and racist curriculum telling her to ACTUALLY do consultation with Albertans 🏝

2. Trudeau is OFFICIALLY using examples of Kenney as his warning for Canada voting in Conservatives. 😬
#Ableg News 🧵 (3/13)

3. Kenney’s spending $11,000,000 so rural Albertans can vote in his fake Senate referendum - but spending $0 to make sure its on indigenous Reserves.

Indigenous leaders say it’s “a slap in the face” to the First Peoples living in Alberta. Do you agree?
#Ableg News 🧵 (4/13)

4. Covid19 so out of control that AHS evokes an “emergency order” forcing nurses to cancel their their vacations.

5. WOW! It turns out that NOBODY wanted former UCP MLA @LailaGoodridge to be a CPC candidate. The CA is flabbergasted and insulted.
#Ableg News 🧵 (5/13)

IMPORTANT STORY!

6. A botched undercover drug operation targeting substance users at the only supervised consumption site in #YYC revealed that the police may have been targeting the site to aid the UCP's plan to shut it down

Kenney is pure evil!
#Ableg News 🧵 (6/13)

7. @JessStCool claims Kenney started a “2-week vacation” ignoring he’s been gone for 3-weeks.🤥

8. Kenney decides he’d rather side with his racist pal, reconciliation denier & our #AbEd curriculum writer Chris Champion than respect Ingenious Canadians
#Ableg News 🧵 (7/13)

9. Kenney has left as much as $1,300,000,000 on Federal Covid-19 relief money on the table.

instead of helping our public schools, vulnerable Albertans, and our health care system - he’s secretly hoarding the money. Where is it going? @MichelletypoQ
#Ableg News 🧵 (8/13)

10. As of today: 33% of all new Covid cases in Canada are in Alberta. We have 10% of the country’s population. #ableg and #yeg zone continues to be a hotspot.

11. Regina resident and UCP MLA Miranda Rosin doesn’t want kids to wear masks in school.
#Ableg News 🧵 (9:13)

12. The GoA website warns businesses NOT to ask proof of vaccination or they’ll face lawsuits!

13. SURPRISE! Alberta’s new Chief Firearms Officer Is the #YYC EDA President for the Conservative Party. Let’s hope her $1,100 in donations to Kenney paid off!
#Ableg News 🧵 (10/13)

14. Kenney’s CFL promo, insisting that games start up, despite the rise of Covid-19’has backfired!

Now 14 or more @elks players have Covid-19, postponing and possibly cancelling games. What a disaster!!!
#Ableg News 🧵 (11/13)

15. Despite Hinshaw PROMISING to provide the Scientific evidence and data used to justify the removal of COVID-19 protocols….Hinshaw said it was delayed again!

Does this mean the decision to justify the loosest rules in Canada was never about the data?
#Ableg News 🧵 (12/13)

I have no “positive” stories this week. If you have something you have that you’d like to share that’s positive - PLEASE include it here!

Alberta needs good news stories - and TRUST ME - we need to hear yours!!!
#Ableg News 🧵 (13/13)

MASSIVE thanks to so many people this week; @allisonjade (the original news thread idea), @AB_AgainstUCP, @youseepeeYYC, @kim_siever, @maxfawcett, @TheQuiltLamb. @TheBlueGem3, @lizzyinyyc, @SeanDunn10, @Albert_Nobbs, @MichelletypoQ, @verynotmadn.
If I missed any stories or miss any people - let me know!

THE $130,000,000 REFERENDUM

Alberta’s former Chief Electoral Officer, Lorne Gibson, estimates Smith’s fall referendum will cost $120–130 million

For a vote that’s non-binding…it changes NOTHING in law!

Here’s what $130M could have built instead

Priorities matter. 🧵
1. DOCTORS, NURSES, HEALTH AIDES

$130,000,000 is 464 family doctors.

700,000 Albertans don’t have one.

It’s also would cover:
🧑‍⚕️ 1,000 Nurse Practitioners
👩‍⚕️ 1,300 Registered Nurses
👨‍⚕️ 2,400 Health Care Aides

We get nothing but excuses….

…/2 Image
2. RURAL ER’s

$130,000,000 is 22 rural medical centres

Last year, rural ERs across Alberta went dark for 34,000 hours!

That’s 1,416 days

The money to keep the lights on exists…It’s being spent on a vote that binds no one (but helps out Smith’s separatists ambitions)

Separatism is polling at 9%

Alberta DOES NOT have a separatist problem

It has a Rick Bell problem

Bell is Postmedia’s most-read Alberta columnist

Smith gives him exclusive access

He uses it not to challenge her…but to make separatism seem inevitable

A breakdown 🧵 Image
1. Bell is a participant…not a reporter

Bell doesn’t just quote Smith

He narrates her politics like she’s a hero

He injects his own voice….not quoting anyone…when he wrote that Canadians who voted Liberal had ‘lost their minds.’

This is what we call UCP Partisan advocacy Image
2. Bell blames Liberal voters for separatism

His most revealing line is Bell’s own quote.

He writes Canadians ‘fanned the flames of Alberta separatism’ specifically those who voted Liberal or NDP

Blaming 65% of Canadian voters for separatism

In a major newspaper
ZERO evidence Image

Your weekly Alberta damage report!

In 7 days, the separation project didn’t stall….it completely cratered.

This week included

- Bad UCP polls!
- First Nations fight Smith!
- Smith’s own math!
- Warning from our privacy watchdog!

One brutal week, in one place. 🧵 Image
1. SEPARATIST SUPPORT IMPLODES
.
New Ipsos poll: just 18% of Albertans back leaving Canada….DOWN 10 POINTS since January.

Half aren’t even committed once they see the costs

A new Leger poll adds the kicker “fewer than half would even stay in an independent Alberta”

😬 Image
#ableg

2. FIRST NATIONS CALL DANIELLE SMITH OUT!!!

Treaty 8 DEMANDED Smith terminate the referendum.

Chief Allan Adam called on her to resign as she has ‘no credibility left.’

47 Nations have said they stay in Canada

A court already ruled the duty to consult was ignored Image

THE LARGEST DATA BREACH IN CANADIAN HISTORY….

Is sitting in the middle of Alberta’s separatist movement

And the trail runs to Michigan and brushes up against the US Ambassador to Canada.

Here’s what the reporting actually shows….

#ableg

1. Separatist David Parker

His Centurion app was built with a US firm, 10XVotes & 2 Michigan operatives

His words: ‘for almost 2 years I’ve been working with them. The result is the Centurion Project’

THOUSANDS of Albertans’ data later surfaced on that US firm’s site… Image
#ableg

3. Pete Hoekstra

10XVotes’ leadership is connected to US Ambassador Hoekstra.

He endorsed the app and sits on a Michigan board with its founder

Hoekstra says he has “0 involvement” 😉

But that SAME ambassador just amplified Trump’s ‘51st State’ post

We have eyes Image

WTAF???

The Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) actually released a “fully costed” independence plan!

I read all 43 pages so you don’t have to**

It is one of the most dishonest, disastrous, and delusional documents in Canadian political history.

Let’s jump in…. 🧵
1. CPP

They claim Alberta is owed $334 BILLION from CPP

FALSE!

That number comes from ONE poorly sourced report… paid for by tDanielle Smith’s UCP!!

The CPP Investment Board’s independent estimate? $100 billion!!

The APP overinflated their number 3.3X to make the math work Image
2. DOUBLE COUNT!

They count CPP contributions TWICE

Once as $15-17B in “retained federal revenue.” Then again as $5B flowing into the new Alberta Pension Plan

Same dollars
Same paycheques
Counted 2X

This is the fiscal plan they’re asking Albertans to stake their future on 😬 Image

Garnett Genuis is among the most SECRETIVE MPs in Canada.

🤫 He has a LENGTHY track record of being a discreetly funded opponent of LGBTQ+ & women's rights

Here are FIVE incidents EXPOSING how @GarnettGenuis is a problematic MP and a threat to Canada’s democracy:
#Ableg

1. 🤐 Secret Trips ✈️

Genuis has participated in 10 foreign-funded trips to conferences with undisclosed funding sources, more than ANY MP in 🇨🇦

When asked, he REFUSED to provide an explanation

It has since emerged MANY of these trips are tied to anti-LGBTQ+ groups Image
#Ableg

2. Anti-LGQBT Videos

Genuis used taxpayer money & resources from his MP office to produce a HORRIFIC video defending abusive conversion therapies!

He claimed conversion therapy bans discriminated against LGBTQ people

He REFUSED to answer q’s about the money/resources🤫 Image
