A UCP caucus member just called me to ask if there was anything the UCP could do to address the concerns of workers in Alberta. I told him the UCP has lost the moral authority to govern and that the best thing they could do for Albertans is to resign & call an election. #AbLeg
I also told him that his government’s reckless COVID policies are literally killing more than 100 Albertans a week, with a COVID mortality rate 4X higher than the Canadian average. And I told him to listen to doctors and experts calling for a #FirebreakAB.
I also told him that it’s clear that the UCP caucus is hopelessly paralyzed by the fight between anti-vaxxers and those who actually want to listen to doctors and experts. I said if they’re incapable of taking action to save lives, they should step aside for someone who can act.
And, I said the UCP has become a laughingstock of the world; that the Kenney government is a dumpster fire on top of a train wreck; and that Kenney has proven himself to be a dangerous sociopath.
Finally, I told this mid-tier member of the caucus that if he has any honour (or hopes for a political future) he should denounce the Premier and his murderous Covid policies and quit the caucus. Otherwise, I said Kenney’s stink would follow him around for the rest of his life.
How did he respond? He thanked me for my honesty and the fact that I didn’t try to “blow political smoke up my backside” (which is apparently what a lot of people do). And he said the members of the UCP would have their say about Kenney’s leadership in the spring. That was it.
