#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

If you’re anything like me, you’re feeling a bit lost. 348 Albertans (22 Humboldt buses) died of Covid in September.

It’s been a HORRIBLE week not just for the UCP but for EVERY SINGLE ALBERTAN

Let’s take a look at 19 bad news stories for Kenney and the UCP
#Ableg News 🧵

1. Extra Extra: Alberta makes MAJOR International News: Reuters, New York Times & Forbes for the worst reasons possible

2. As schools across Alberta have numerous outbreaks of COVID-19, the UCP is unwilling to release the actual figures for no good reason.
#Ableg News 🧵

3. UCP MLA Shane Getson blamed AHS Execs for not having enough ICU beds in Wave 4, rather than looking in the mirror at the UCP’s pandemic response.

He deleted his Facebook profile, reactivated it, immediately accused someone of having HIV, then apologized

📸: @Isuckatpicking
#Ableg News 🧵

1. The week started with the @UCPCaucus website suddenly going down 🤷🏻‍♂️

This wasn’t just a ??BAD week for the @UCPCaucus - this was a HORRIBLE week for every Albertan. All of us.

Here are 20 (TWENTY!!!) AWFUL UCP news stories this week…

Buckle up - it’s a bumpy ride!

#Ableg News 🧵

So it begins…

1.In typical fashion, the UCP bad news started with a DISASTROUS Shandro presser.

After telling Shandro to “do more” and “people are dying”, Shandro said “thanks” and he “appreciated the “feedback”

#Ableg News 🧵

BUSTED!

2. Leaked footage show Kenney spreading lies and misinformation re: Pandemic


3. The UCP were caught having a UCP luxury retreat during the middle of a pandemic!

Kenney canceled after it was leaked.

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 🧵 (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…

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?
