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Sources were duplicated, NOT peer-reviewed.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…

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…

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!

#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?

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!

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%

#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. 😂
