#ablrg News 🧵

Since last thanksgiving, 2,661 Albertans lost their lives due to covid.

Instead of reflecting upon this and sharing sorrow, Kenney and the UCP lied, held fire side chats, and ignored the crisis we’re facing

Here’s 8 bad news UCP stories this week…buckle up!
#Ableg News 🧵

LEAKED 🕵️‍♀️

1.Secret documents show Education Minister LeGrange and Health Minister Copping knew of the massive outbreaks of COVID-19 in central Alberta schools last month…

They STILL didn’t tell parents, students or workers of the massive risk…
#Abpoli
#Ableg News 🧵

2. Despite BILLIONS in new revenue, the UCP says there’s not enough for cleanup spending., leaving taxpayers on the hook 🤦🏻‍♂️

3. Over thanksgiving weekend, Ambulances we’re in so short supply that Calgary was serving Banff and Lethbridge… over 2-hours away.
#Ableg News 🧵

🚨 MISINFORMATION ALERT 🚨

4. The UCP released its “equalization facts” website with many shocking errors, including it deliberately conflated the concepts of “Stabilization” and “Equalization”. @drjaredwesley pointed out several in a fantastic 🧵!
#Ableg News 🧵

5. After the UCP suddenly canceled a pilot project that virtually connected drug users in remote locations with support to monitor them in June 2020, Alberta’s seen a 37% increase in overdose deaths.

The UCP are only now rolling out an app to fix it. Criminal.
#Ableg News 🧵

6. 😳 New Angus Reid Poll shows Kenney is, by far, the least popular leader in Canada at 22%!

7. WTF. Kenney ONLY had 2 COVID-19 briefings during his 3-week extended vacation in August (the “2 week” vacation where he left NOBODY in charge). Negligence!!
#Ableg News 🧵

8. During one of his brutally scripted fireside chats, Kenney lied and said the federal gov’ts $10 day child care program “wasn’t real”, BUT he wants a Quebec deal, ignoring that Quebec has had affordable child care for a generation and a PST.

Sigh….

#Ableg News 🧵

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 🤦🏻‍♂️

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…
