#Ableg News 🧵

Hey #Abpoli: Remember when Alberta was the “go to” place for young professionals in Canada? We’re officially not (see story #3)

HORRIBLE press conferences, MAJOR lies and 2 failed UCP apps are just part of 16 REALLY Bad News UCP stories this week

Buckle up!
#Ableg News 🧵

Whoopsie! 🤦🏻‍♂️

1. Kenney’s promise of a “QR Code” app allowing Albertans to quickly confirm Covid-19 vaccinations with businesses was FINALLY launched….without ANY ability to scan QR codes to verify the info - making the app completely useless!

It gets worse…
#Ableg News 🧵

2. For 3-weeks in a row @jkenney made national & international news for his pandemic response 📰

3. Alberta’s now seen its WEAKEST population growth in 4 decades! For the 1st time since 1971, Alberta’s no longer has the youngest median age among the provinces
#Ableg News 🧵

4. Kenney’s COVID-19 plan helped one industry in Alberta: Funeral homes in Alberta are seeing an increase in demand ⚰️

5. Not a single quarantine fine was levied in Alberta, despite thousands of people who violated Alberta’s Contravention Act. I wonder why 🤔
#Ableg News 🧵

NEW POLLS! 📉

6. New Leger poll shows 80% of Albertans are totally dissatisfied with Kenney’s Covid response; only 4% fully support him

7. Another new poll this week shows 77% of Alberta disapprove of Kenney’s leadership, while 61% STRONGLY disapprove. 😳
#Ableg News 🧵

8. Kenney’s polling is so bad, local UCP Consistency Associations are DESPERATE to move up a leadership review from April 2022 to December 2021.

A motion to move the dates also shows MAJOR concern over the last leadership race (ie: illegal voting!!)
#Anleg News 🧵

This one is BAD!

9. In April 2020, Kenney PROMISED an increase to ICU beds to 1,081. They never did!

One reason cited; the UCP failed to account for staffing shortages due to mass resignations and illnesses, many noting Kenney’s threats to HCW’s hurt staffing
#Ableg News 🧵

10. Due to a lack of ICU Beds, 8,500 surgeries were delayed since September 13, including 805 kid surgeries

11.Alberta’s ER Med president sent a letter to Kenney and Health Minister Coppling to tour a #YEG ER to see first-hand how overstretched the system is.
#Ableg News 🧵

ANOTHER brutal presser:

12. In response to asking if he’d tour the ER room, Kenney said he NEVER had a hospital photo op, forgetting several times he and his UCP MLA’s used hospitals for photo ops. 🤥

13. LaGrange was caught faking putting on a mask. 🤦🏻‍♂️
#Ableg News 🧵

14. The UCP is still forcing Albertans to pay $4,300,000 for a covid app that tracked 158 cases ($27,215/ case). The federal app is still free). 😡

15. @tony_clark discovered the UCP LOST $473,000,000 in corporate income tax due to “accounting adjustments” 🤦‍♀️
#Ableg News 🧵

🚨BUSTED🚨

16: Despite UCP’MLA Savage promising ALL Category 2 lands were halted, she SECRETLY approved existing land & exploratory mining leases to be purchased /moved between companies. This signals the ministry intends to keep moving forward with coal projects

#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

#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
