#Ableg News 🧵

Well Alberta….I REALLY don’t know what to say anymore! 🤐

Between Elections Alberta denigrating citizens, brutal UCP pressers, and more lies from our Premier - it’s been a REALLY bad news week!

Here’s 16 (yup!: Sixteen) stories. Grab a drink - let’s go:
#Ableg News 🧵

🤫 Shhhh….

1. Kenney quietly changed local election laws (Bill 29) last year!

His new “Election Advertising" definition for 3rd-parties now allows Kenney’s dark money PACs to secretly spend THOUSANDS on issue-based election ads without reporting it to anyone
#Ableg News 🧵

2. Snow removal businesses saw insurance rates jump 866% due to Kenney removing caps. Snow removal rates will jump 30%+ to cover costs 🤦🏻‍♂️

3. Several MAJOR “red alerts” this week meant ZERO ambulances were available in Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer! 🚑
#Ableg News 🧵

😳 BAD POLL ALERT 📉

4. A poll commissioned by Western Standard shows Ms. Notley has a SIGNIFICANTLY higher popularity over Kenney by 16 pts

5. Another Mainstreet Research poll shows the UCP lost 28 points from 2019

These aren’t the only 2 (there’s more….)
#Ableg News 🧵

😳

6. A leaked private study to CBC’s @elisevonscheel on the UCP’s future stated:

"In almost a decade of tracking, we've NEVER registered a gov’t disapproval as high as this October ... The shift in evaluations for the Kenney government has been seismic."
#Ableg News 🧵

WTF? 😳
7. Despite demanding pay cuts for nurses and HCWs, the UCP give a MASSIVE $12,000 raise to a UCP MLA

8. Under Kenney, Elections Alberta spent the ENTIRE Election Day denigrating and gaslighting Albertans, including trying to mislead a renown academic!
#Ableg News🧵

9. While #Abpoli Cabinet Ministers are expected to stay out of municipal politics on Election Day, the Minister of Justice couldn’t help himself!

In a bizarre 1:30 AM post, @KayceeMaduYEG: “YYC is too important to be Left” and “Vote Right”

Let’s remember this….
#Ableg News 🧵

Lair Liar 🤥

10. After the election, Kenney held an abysmal presser saying he and the UCP “don’t interfere with municipal politics”

Kenney ignored MULTIPLE UCP MLA’s like Shandro, Pon, Madu and others who helped out on Farkas & Chu’s campaigns!
(@stevedurrell)
#Ableg News 🧵

Worst Of The Week:

11. UCP MLA Luan & Ric McIver’s wife celebrate Sean Chu for his re-election AFTER his sexual assault story broke!

12. Tom Olsen (War Room CEO) & UCP MLA’s Tyler Shandro and Josephine Pon donated massive time and money to Sean Chu’s campaign!
#Ableg News 🧵

13. Wow! In a DISASTER Press Conference, Savage admitted the $3,500,000 Anti-Albertan inquiry ONLY found 2-facts:

a)) There are NO illegal activities; b). The Canadian Energy Centre (or war room) has been a “failure” and its reputation is “beyond repair”
#Ableg News 🧵

MORE UCP LIES 🤥

14. @UCPCaucus doubled down on the bad presser claiming $1.3B is spent by environment groups!

The problem? It’s 100% FALSE!

The Allen inquiry ONLY found evidence they spent $37.5-$58.9M to “anti-Cdn oil work over 17-years ($2,300,000/yr)
#Ableg News 🧵

😂
15. Poor Kenney: Another UCP Staffer Dropped the Ball!

The RCMP is trademarking ALL possible provincial police names to make it more difficult to name the police!

This includes “Alberta Provincial Police”, “Alberta Provincial Police Force” and others!
#Ableg News 🧵

Extra Extra! 📰

16. Alberta’s Anti-Alberta Inquiry and @sonyasavage’s HORRIBLE press conference makes international news!

The New York Times has a reach of over 5,496,000 subscribers, and the 18th largest newspaper in the World.
#Ableg News 🧵

Our “Feel Good” story this week:

The Municipal Elections!

Not only did #YYC, #YEG & #YXH elect strong, progressive leaders, they REJECTED the slate of UCP backed Candidates, counsellors & trustees!

HUGE welcome to @AmarjeetSohiYEG, @JyotiGondek @lclarkformayor Both of these white men of privilege were rejected by Albert

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
