#Ablrg News 🧵

It feels like this week ended as bad as it started.

Between Madu changing legislation to allow illegal donations, Alberta making international news (again)…and Devin Dreeshen, it’s been a REALLY bad week for the UCP!

Let’s look at 19 (YUP!!) stories this week: Image
#Ableg News 🧵

1. 💰 #Abpoli Party Donations are out; and Kenney was AGAIN out-funded by the NDP for the 4th quarter in a row!

The NDP have now raised 156% more donations than the UCP for Q1-Q3 2021.

Remember this for story #15 when Kenney changes the rules for HIS donors… Image
#Ableg News 🧵

2. Treaty 6 Chief formally responds to Alberta’s Provincial Police report, saying Madu completed ZERO consultations with First Nations! Madu lied to Albertans!🤥

3. More allegations of sexual harassment by Kenney’s lawyer pal and Devin’s booze pal Ivan Bernardo! ImageImage
#Anleg News 🧵

4 Without ANY consultation, the UCP is selling off gov-owned affordable housing units to “for-profits” corporations - claiming it’s not “privatization” 🙄

5. 😂 In a giant ad to support the UCP’s new “advanced” curriculum. UCP MLA Savage can’t spell “cirricilum” ImageImage
#Anleg News 🧵

6. The $3,500,000 Public inquiry into anti-Alberta energy campaign website is gone!. A sign of being proud of your work.

7. Speaking of: Vivian Krause accused the UCP of making ‘incorrect’ and ‘exaggerated’ claims about foreign funding of environmental groups! ImageImage
#Ableg News 🧵

8. Beep Beep 🚌! Kenney goes on CBC Radio to say Hinshaw failed to give him ANY advice in August 2021 which is what caused Wave 4

9. A FOIP request shows Kenney lied when he claimed he was in “daily" contact with staff & Heath officials during his vacation! ImageImage
#Ableg News 🧵

10. After hiding the data, the UCP finally admitted their inaction on covid caused 15,000 canceled surgeries!

11. The UCP reneged on a promise to charge OHV drivers in Kananaskis a small user fee to help restore & create new OHV trails & hire enforcement officers ImageImage
#Ableg News 🧵

12. Alberta made international news (again) after Kenney said there was “0 value” in attending a global climate summit 🤷🏻‍♂️

13 Political scientists say Kenney missed a crucial chance to gather info, make contacts and tell Alberta's story to the rest of the world ImageImage
#Anleg News 🧵

14. The leader of the Bloc Quebecois mocked Kenney’s “equalization referendum” suggesting Canada should totally reopen the constitution and renegotiate the equalization formula to a “green formula”.

The more green a province, the more they get back. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Image
#Ableg News 🧵

15. In response to the NDP leading donations, the UCP quietly snuck in new legislation to allow hundreds of thousands of 💰 from big donors to SNEAK into UCP coffers through nomination contests, and multiple, illegal donations to UCP constituency associations! Image
#Ableg News 🧵

16. In a scathing essay, Donna Glans, a former PC MLA, described how the UCP infiltrated public boards with crony appointments and created a “ top-down, authoritarian culture” that it turned the workplace to “toxic” workplace…

Why does that sound familiar 🤔
#Ableg News 🧵

17. In an attempt to troll Albertans’ concerned with his drinking and bullying, UCP MLA Dreeshen posted a photo of him propping a laptop on a beer cooler and coasters with booze in the background

18. Dreeshen reigned from Cabinet (not as an MLA) 3-days later. ImageImage
#Ableg News 🧵

19. Brian Jean is back (again) and wants to grab a UCP seat in Fort McMurray saying he’s here to run against Kenney and only he can beat Notley.

This is NOT a real story now…but something to watch at the UCP Convention Nov 19-21 (YES…you win @McIvorben) Image
#Ableg News 🧵

So good news? I’ll repeat this one: the @Grindstoneyeg is putting together a HILARIOUS show called “Jason Kenney’s Hot Boy Summer”, featuring the incredible @Stephwolfe101!

I fully encourage those to go Nov 10-21 (Nov 10 is sold out!)

Garnett Genuis is among the most SECRETIVE MPs in Canada.

🤫 He has a LENGTHY track record of being a discreetly funded opponent of LGBTQ+ & women's rights

Here are FIVE incidents EXPOSING how @GarnettGenuis is a problematic MP and a threat to Canada’s democracy:
#Ableg

1. 🤐 Secret Trips ✈️

Genuis has participated in 10 foreign-funded trips to conferences with undisclosed funding sources, more than ANY MP in 🇨🇦

When asked, he REFUSED to provide an explanation

It has since emerged MANY of these trips are tied to anti-LGBTQ+ groups Image
#Ableg

2. Anti-LGQBT Videos

Genuis used taxpayer money & resources from his MP office to produce a HORRIFIC video defending abusive conversion therapies!

He claimed conversion therapy bans discriminated against LGBTQ people

He REFUSED to answer q’s about the money/resources🤫 Image

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

Image

#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
