#Ableg News 🧵 (1/15)

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Sources were duplicated, NOT peer-reviewed.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 🤦🏻‍♂️
#Ableg News 🧵 (4/15)

3. Experts are now using Alberta as a “warning” to other gov’ts thinking of abandoning public-health measures!

Singled out is Kenney urging Albertans to stop viewing COVID-19 as an emergency & opening up with 0 restrictions as a HUGE public health failure
#Ableg News 🧵 (4/15)

SURPRISE!

4. Several rodeos received a quiet exemption from Kenney’s “no booze past 10pm” rule allowing them to drink until 2AM

5. Kenney’s “masking & distancing rule” doesn’t include church service….where it’s VERY likely to spread

Priorities Matter
#Ableg News 🧵 (5/15)

6. AHS withdrew a labour board complaint about hiring non-union nurses AFTER they were caught hiring non-union nurses

Non-Alberta Nurses are paid up to $75/hour with free car, meals, and rent.

Alberta’s nurses are STILL being asked for a 2% rollback!
#Ableg News 🧵 (6/15)

KNIVES OUT 🔪

7. UCP MLA Peter Guthrie has issued a confusing angry letter criticizing Kenney.

He says Kenney criticizing anti-vaxxers was “a narrative of anger and division’, the “$100 created animosity” and he apologized for the mask mandate.
#Ableg News Thread (7/15)

8. UCP MLA Angela Pitt ALSO made anti-vaccination/anti-vaccine restriction posts!

On her Facebook Page, she posted pictures from an anti-vaccine rally held in B.C.

Earlier this week she also posted a letter asking Kenney not to issue vaccine passports
#Ableg News 🧵 (8/15)

9. The mayors of #YEG, Beaumont, St. Albert, Parkland County, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Devon, and Morinville are publicly calling on Kenney to implement vaccine passports.

10. Kenney’s $100 bonus resulted in a laughable increase of 1,564 doses.
#Ableg News 🧵 (9/15)

11. New report from Alberta ombudsmen out on the government’s Emergency Isolation Support. Report insufficient communication and transparency, failed to disclose why people were denied with no way to address errors. ombudsman.ab.ca/wp-content/up
#Ableg News 🧵 (10/15)

12. It was discovered Taxpayer Money from Alberta's Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund (now TIER) is secretly paying for pro-carbon ads of the Canadian Energy Centre (Alberta war room)

ablawg.ca/2021/09/08/alb…
#Ableg News 🧵 (11/15)

13. AHS canceled numerous scheduled elective surgeries and some outpatient procedures in Calgary this week due to COVID-19 pressures

14. Several times this week, Alberta experienced “Red Alerts” where no Ambulance service was available to Albertans
#Ableg News 🧵 (12/15)

15. Shandro’s disaster presser included a BIZZARE plan to send 💰 to private continuing care CEOs

Shandro FAILED to mention he was lobbied by Jeff Johnson for private care centres in July. Jeff donated ~$5,080 to the UCP since 2017
#Ableg News 🧵 (13/15)

We actually have GOOD NEWS!!!

1. BIG WIN FOR TEACHERS! The ATA said the new terms remove a clause giving AIMCo a veto over investments!

2. Small win for Nurses: The UCP dropped a bid to cut nurse wages by 3% (2% cuts still remain)
#Ableg News 🧵 (14/15)

3. Solidarity rally at #Ableg tomorrow for our Children’s future curriculum. More info from the @AB_CurriQlum_WR (curriculum war room) account

4. If you want a laugh - check out this HILARIOUS cartoon by @northsidechad gigcity.ca/2021/09/08/end…

#Ableg

In the last 7-days #Abpoli called out 3 news stories with VERY suspicious origins, including:

🎤 A CTV interview about the anti-abortion poll…with a UCP organizer

💰 A daycare operator who is sabotaging $10/day care

📉 A non-existent polling firm

Let’s jump in!

#Ableg Story #1.

The "Association of Alberta Childcare Entrepreneurs" shutdown several daycares protesting $10/day care and blaming the Fed’s

However, CEO Krystal Chucher lobby records showed she’s ONLY upset with the province’s bad funding model

She’s also a major Smith stan

Image

#Ableg Story #2

On Friday, Albertans received calls from an obscure polling firm regarding anti-abortion rights

CTV interviewed only one guy; Justin Vung

Strangely, they did NOT check Google and see his stance as a fervent anti-women's rights activist and key UCP organizer

Yesterday, Alberta saw 2 of the most undemocratic, anti-Canadian bills in our history.

Bill 3 and 5 mark a new low.

Rock Bottom.

Let’s go through these gross abominations and see if you agree
#Abpoli Image
#Ableg.

Bill 3: Opioid Damages & Health Care Costs Recover

Vulnerable Albertan will be mandated to forced labour (to UCP employers) to “recover” costs of mandatory treatments

Marshall Smith, Danielle’s drug “expert” was BUSTED for a similar illegal operation when he was in BC Image
#Ableg

Bill 5: Public Sector Employer Amendment

Under the guise of a “single public payer”, this all but sets up an Alberta Revenue Agency, which collects federal taxes to circumvent the Canada Revenue Agency.

This is part of Danielle’s secretive “Free Alberta Strategy” Image

MASSIVE #Ableg shoutout to @CorbLund

Corb is calling out SNEAKY UCP Minister of the Environment @rebeccakschulz and the Australian Benga Mines secretly applying to operate coal mines.

Let’s look at the timelines and what Rebecca is attempting to hide from Albertans….

…/1
Image
#Ableg

1. 2021-22 Benga Mines application to operate an open pit mines was REJECTED 2X over concerns of the massive environmental damage they’d cause

It was so bad that UCP Enviro Minister, Sonya Savage, put a moratorium on future applications

However…that was under Kenney
#Ableg

Enter Danielle Smith and Sneaky Rebecca Schulz…

2. On June 9, 2023, sneaky Shultz was sworn in as Minister of Environment and Protected Areas.

Rebecca promised to “protest our beautiful landscapes”…but let’s see what ACTUALLY happened…

Sneaky UCP MLA @rebeccakschulz, Minister of the Environment and Protected Areas, has a MAJOR credibility problem.

Let’s look at 3 recent decisions made under her watch that raises MASSIVE questions about her suitability for this important role…

…/1 Image
#Ableg

1. Mountain Ash Ltd.

This private project has MAJOR concerns due to the HUGE impact to groundwater resources and threats to the Big Hill Provincial Park

Despite the MASSIVE red flags, Rebecca STILL approved it AFTER she was lobbied by a major UCP donor in July 2023 Image
#Ableg

2. Open Pit Coal Mines in Grassy Mtn

In 2021, Enviro Minister Sonya Savage issued an order blocking Benga Mines from applying for open pit coal mines

In 2023, despite this moratorium, Banga Mines secretly reapplied AFTER Rebecca Shultz dept was Lobbied by a UCP Donor Image

It’s been 7-days.

@rebeccakschulz continues to hide from Albertans as her husband is paid by O&G to convince Rebecca to change 5 laws environmental laws and protected areas

Let’s explore Alberta’s Conflict of Interest act, simplified for Rebecca

Rebecca - take notes📝 Image
#Ableg

1. Are MLA’s allowed to personally benefit from legislative decisions?

- NOPE! 🚫

The Act says Members MUST NOT participate in decisions that MAY benefit themselves, their partners, their associates, or their children.

Rebecca CAN NOT touch ANYTHING Cole is lobbying Image
#Ableg

2. What if a decision POTENTIALLY involves a private interest?

If a decision POTENTIALLY involves a private interest (such as Rebecca’s husband lobbying to make legislative changes) the MLA MUST:

✅ Declare it
✅ Abstain from voting or participating in the decision Image

#Ableg

UCP Environment & Protected Area Minister @rebeccakschulz is pretending there’s no conflict of interest as her husband is lobbying to change environmental laws and regulations.

Let’s look at 5 policies he’s looking to change and YOU decide if there’s a conflict….

../1
Image
#Ableg

1. Cole is lobbying to “cut administrative burdens” in Alberta’s “TEIR carbon pricing strategy” in order to help maximize O&G profits.

TIER (Regulation 133/2019) falls DIRECTLY under Rebecca’s portfolio as our Environmental and Protected Areas Minister
Image

#Ableg

2. Cole Schulz is lobbying to change “Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS)”

This involves promoting incentive and support for CCUS projects to develop underground storage models for “acid gas disposal” 😳

This program is under ASO Rebecca’s Enviro Ministry
