#Ableg News 🧵 (1/14)

Well Alberta….what the heck happened?? It’s been a HORRIBLE week for the @UCPCaucus!

Albertans went from anger towards Kenney abandoning Alberta to even more anger and confusion when he returned….it’s bad

Grab a glass of Jamieson’s and let’s review 🥃
#Ableg News 🧵(2/14)

YIKES!

1. Our week started with UCP MLA Nathan Neudorf admitting Kenney’s plan is to let the Delta variant sweep through our unvaccinated populations, causing more serious illness and death…perhaps explaining why he’s not in Alberta right now. 😳
#Ableg News 🧵(3/14)

2. Kenney’s Executive Council l, which is responsible for guiding the province during Covid-19, released their schedule for this week.

As Covid-19 cases surges, schools are back in session, and we needed direction….they were nowhere to be found…
#Ableg News 🧵 (4/14)

3. Hospitals are becoming overwhelmed due to Covid-19.

Not only are patients being ported over to other hospitals in rural areas; but cities are too.

GP is now sending patients to other hospitals; #YEG is down to 1-ICU bed BEFORE the long weekend!
#Ableg News 🧵 (5/14)

4. Kenney’s mishandling of COVID is so admittedly poor that he changed his Twitter bio from a “best summer ever” to “Economic Recovery”.

5. The UCP STILL thought it was a good idea to sell “Best Summer Ever” hats this week…ignoring reality and optics.
#Ablrg News 🧵(6/14)

6. Kenney’s lack of leadership this week forced municipalities to make the first move…#YEG started off with enforcing a mask mandate. Calgary is following suit.

In a time of extreme crisis - Kenney thought tweeting was the appropriate response
#Anleg News Thread (7/14)

7. AHS made the decision to vaccinate staff

When asked if AHS made the decision at the direction of gov’t, AHS said they made the decision themselves on evidence, advised Shandro but not Hinshaw

This is a HUGE deviation from the government messaging.
#Ableg News 🧵 (8/14)

This was EMBARRASSING:

8. UCP MLA Orr: Alberta women’s czar, blanked out a question about Kenney’s lack of leadership

A Staffer shut down the press for not being “on track”

FYI: Alberta journalists are NOT required to stay on the UCP’s chosen messaging.
#Ableg News 🧵(9/14)

9. On that note, Media reveal the UCP are now avoiding the press twice this week:

- During a major announcement at a francophone school on Wednesday
- Kenney held another media-free, last-second “fireside chat”to talk about his post-vacation plans.
#Ableg News 🧵(10/14)

10. Speaking of Kenney’s fireside chat…he made some BIZARRE proclamations, including that

- He WOULD NOT make any provincial measures (ie: mask mandates) and
- More kids died of car accidents than covid (so far)
#Ableg News 🧵 (11/14)

11. Despite Shandro not appearing before the media, and hiding from answering to the public, he is donating his time and energy to Jeromy Farkas’s #YYC mayoral campaign.

He was spotted at a large event, unmasked, and not social distancing. Surprised?
#Ableg News 🧵 (12/14)

Here we are today!!! Wow!!!

12. Today’s presser was a complete DISASTER! Kenney’s “Bold” move is restricting alcohol sales past 10pm, mask mandates in public (but not in schools?) and giving $100 to unvaccinated Albertans to get vaccinated….
#Anleg News 🧵 (13/14)

LIE ALERT! 🤥
13. Kenney claimed Colorado benefited from $100 incentives:

Fact:
- Aug 9-20 (12-Days Before): 114,493 doses

- Aug 21 - Sept 1: (12-Days After)
113,681 doses

LESS people got vaccinated BEFORE incentives!!!
#Ableg News 🧵 (14/14)

So while it’s a really bad time; let’s focus on the good (this week brought to you by @AB_AgainstUCP)

It’s official: Kenney is ranked THE WORST leader in Canada:

65% of us strongly disapprove. That is the REAL historic mandate!

What a week Alberta!

Between Kenney disappearing (AGAIN), Shandro imploding (AGAIN) and Hinshaw tone policing us….it’s been another HORRIBLE week for the @UCPCaucus!!!

Let’s take a trip to 15 UGLY stories over the last 7-days in #Abpoli , shall we?
#Ableg News 🧵 (2/15)

1. Postmedia Journalists and Pundits review of Kenney’s $100 gift cards to hospital protesters are in; and it was a DISASTER! 😳

If you’re a conservative Leader in Alberta - and Corbella, Bell & Braid say you’re awful - you’ve screwed up big. Wow!
#Ableg News 🧵 (3/15)

2. SHOCKING!

@CMOH_Alberta data & modelling was HEAVILY flawed!

Sources were duplicated, NOT peer-reviewed. published AFTER the July 1st reopening decision, NOT from Alberta or Canada (despite being available) and DID NOT factor in the Delta Variant 🤦🏻‍♂️

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?

Happy Friday #Abpoli!

It’s been another HORRIBLE week. Covid is up exponentially. Syphilis is out of control and Kenney is NOWHERE to be found.

Want to see what made the week so bad? Let’s jump in team!
#Ableg News 🧵 (2/12)

1) Despite saying they can’t afford AB nurses, a job ad shows the UCP tapped an agency to hire contract nurses to replace them at $75/hr (@Patricia_Ann_S)

2) UCP blames Trudeau for not wanting to sign $10/day care deal ignoring 8-other provinces signed off
#Ableg News 🧵 (3/12)

YIKES!

3). The War Room is under investigation for proving personal information to a third party ran by Kenney’s good friend Hamish Marshall - a co-founder of One Persuasion and campaign manager (with Brock Harrison) for the Conservatives' 2019 election!

Alberta - it was ANOTHER week of UCP blunders, Kenney lies, and Hinshaw’s COVID-19 failures.

We have 15 stories this week (a 87.5% increase over last week’s 8).

Ready to hop in? Let’s bounce Alberta: 🦘
#Abpoli
#Ableg News 🧵 (2/12)

1. The UCP FINALLY released the KPMG review of the COVID-19 first wave response on a Friday evening.

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 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. 😂
