#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
