#Ableg News 🧵:

This week was the WORST!!!

✅ A new Alberta-Sask Covid Variant (Story 1)
✅ The @UCPCaucus promoting Nazis in our curriculum (Story 5)
✅ The NDP leading new polls! (Story 14)

Altogether: It’s been a BAD week for the @UCPCaucus!

Let’s explore 17 stories! Image
#Ableg News Story:

1. 🎉 WE DID IT: thanks to the @UCPCaucus: Alberta has the distinction of a COVID-19 variant! “AY-25”!

2. 🎊 New @StatCan_eng data is out: Alberta lost 9,100 net jobs in October 2021 (and over 16,000 less women employed)!

The REAL UCP Alberta Advantage! ImageImage
#Ableg News 🧵

🤥

3. During Kenney’s “We Got Amazon Cloud Service”, he claimed we’d IMMEDIATELY land 1,000 new jobs!

Sadly, Amazon ONLY confirmed 409 direct jobs … by the year 2037…and many of those are temporary!!

The REAL UCP Advantage! Image
#Aboeg News Thread

4. During a BRUTAL presser UCP MLA LaGrange said ONLY 2% of all students in Alberta was good “enough” to test her racist, baseless and hate-filled curriculum!

She REFUSED to provide data or demographic info to back up this up

Let’s see why this is an issue: Image
#Ableg News 🧵:

In the @UCPCaucus draft curriculum:

5. The UCP ACTUALLY want Alberta’s youth to say Nazi’s aren’t so bad…because they benefited the Germany economy! (@bymichaeldunn)

6. They can’t even bother with BASIC spelling of their own draft curriculum! ImageImage
#Ableg News 🧵:

7. Only 5-days after the UCP liquor abuse scandal: a proud @jkenney “humorously” held a press conference a a bar at 10 AM to say “Alberta was backl

8. Alberta was the LARGEST recipient of federal spending increases (per capita) in 2020! By a wide margin… ImageImage
#Ableg News 🧵

A challenger has arrived!!! 🤡

9. Brain Jean’s official campaign for a UCP Seat is: “something must done”…Jean admitted his campaign is about removing Kenney as leader

Reminder: an “anything goes” UCP policy convention is next week (but…see the story 13!) ImageImage
#Ableg News 🧵

10. UCP MLA Schulz LIED during a conference why the UCP didn’t approve $10/day care!

She blamed a FED election & Alberta’s “unique” mixed market…forgetting 7-provinces signed and most provinces have the same mixed market (for-profit & non-profit) provider system Image
#Ableg News 🧵

11. UCP MLA #Pitt was forced to apologize after making a disgusting Facebook comment

A man posted a wish for a closer hospital in Airidrie to care for his dying wife…

Pitt responded it was a waste as his wife didn’t need a hospital…she needed a hospice 😳 Image
#Ableg News 🧵

12. Days after a MASSIVE expert-led alberta-wide study said the UCP “ban coal mines in the Eastern Slopes”…UCP Sonya Savage said her “pro-coal mine” study needed an extension!

Savage was also in charge of the much maligned 3.5M Steve Allen “anti-Albertan” report Image
#Ableg News 🧵

13. 😬! Kenney’s suddenly changing the UCP leadership review requirements after 18 UCP constituencies (CA) are DEMANDING a leadership review next weekend!!

Currently the UCP bylaws requires 22 UCP constituencies signing of (25%) Kenney now wants 29% (33%)! Image
#Ableg News 🧵:

14. 🚨 New Poll Alert 🚨

Comparing 2019 polls:

NDP: 58 Seats (+34)
UCP: 29 Sears (-34)

A total #YYC and #YEG wipeout!

(Source: leantossup.ca/alberta) Image
#Ableg News 🧵

15. After Kenney changed the legislation to allow him to have more oversight in Aimco in early 2020, AIMCo announced a loss of $2,100,000,000!

This is a result of risky and poorly monitored investment strategies and is blowing a MASSIVE hole in their returns! Image
#Ableg News 🧵

Lair Lair!

16. So back in story 5, we talked about LaGrange’s pro-nazi stance.

Today, the Minister said she’d pull the nazi stuff and had ZERO clue about it…unfortunately, @kim_siever found that not only did she know about it - her people helped update it! ImageImage
#Ableg News 🧵

17. Kenney’s good friend, Dreeshen’s drinking pal & **alleged** sexual harasser Ivan Bernardo was fired from his job this week!

Sadly, the offender Dreeshen & @JasonNixonAB (who helped fire the victim and cover it up) are still sitting MLAs with no consequences Image
#Ableg News 🧵

So the good news? Kenney’s “Hot Boy Summer” by @Grindstoneyeg is SOLD OUT!

The reviews are fantastic AND they’re going to be live streaming it! More info will be posted soon!

Congrats to @Stephwolfe101 @AtomicImprov and the entire crew (see you next week) Image

THE $130,000,000 REFERENDUM

Alberta’s former Chief Electoral Officer, Lorne Gibson, estimates Smith’s fall referendum will cost $120–130 million

For a vote that’s non-binding…it changes NOTHING in law!

Here’s what $130M could have built instead

Priorities matter. 🧵
1. DOCTORS, NURSES, HEALTH AIDES

$130,000,000 is 464 family doctors.

700,000 Albertans don’t have one.

It’s also would cover:
🧑‍⚕️ 1,000 Nurse Practitioners
👩‍⚕️ 1,300 Registered Nurses
👨‍⚕️ 2,400 Health Care Aides

We get nothing but excuses….

…/2 Image
2. RURAL ER’s

$130,000,000 is 22 rural medical centres

Last year, rural ERs across Alberta went dark for 34,000 hours!

That’s 1,416 days

The money to keep the lights on exists…It’s being spent on a vote that binds no one (but helps out Smith’s separatists ambitions)

Separatism is polling at 9%

Alberta DOES NOT have a separatist problem

It has a Rick Bell problem

Bell is Postmedia’s most-read Alberta columnist

Smith gives him exclusive access

He uses it not to challenge her…but to make separatism seem inevitable

A breakdown 🧵 Image
1. Bell is a participant…not a reporter

Bell doesn’t just quote Smith

He narrates her politics like she’s a hero

He injects his own voice….not quoting anyone…when he wrote that Canadians who voted Liberal had ‘lost their minds.’

This is what we call UCP Partisan advocacy Image
2. Bell blames Liberal voters for separatism

His most revealing line is Bell’s own quote.

He writes Canadians ‘fanned the flames of Alberta separatism’ specifically those who voted Liberal or NDP

Blaming 65% of Canadian voters for separatism

In a major newspaper
ZERO evidence Image

Your weekly Alberta damage report!

In 7 days, the separation project didn’t stall….it completely cratered.

This week included

- Bad UCP polls!
- First Nations fight Smith!
- Smith’s own math!
- Warning from our privacy watchdog!

One brutal week, in one place. 🧵 Image
1. SEPARATIST SUPPORT IMPLODES
.
New Ipsos poll: just 18% of Albertans back leaving Canada….DOWN 10 POINTS since January.

Half aren’t even committed once they see the costs

A new Leger poll adds the kicker “fewer than half would even stay in an independent Alberta”

😬 Image
#ableg

2. FIRST NATIONS CALL DANIELLE SMITH OUT!!!

Treaty 8 DEMANDED Smith terminate the referendum.

Chief Allan Adam called on her to resign as she has ‘no credibility left.’

47 Nations have said they stay in Canada

A court already ruled the duty to consult was ignored Image

THE LARGEST DATA BREACH IN CANADIAN HISTORY….

Is sitting in the middle of Alberta’s separatist movement

And the trail runs to Michigan and brushes up against the US Ambassador to Canada.

Here’s what the reporting actually shows….

#ableg

1. Separatist David Parker

His Centurion app was built with a US firm, 10XVotes & 2 Michigan operatives

His words: ‘for almost 2 years I’ve been working with them. The result is the Centurion Project’

THOUSANDS of Albertans’ data later surfaced on that US firm’s site… Image
#ableg

3. Pete Hoekstra

10XVotes’ leadership is connected to US Ambassador Hoekstra.

He endorsed the app and sits on a Michigan board with its founder

Hoekstra says he has “0 involvement” 😉

But that SAME ambassador just amplified Trump’s ‘51st State’ post

We have eyes Image

WTAF???

The Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) actually released a “fully costed” independence plan!

I read all 43 pages so you don’t have to**

It is one of the most dishonest, disastrous, and delusional documents in Canadian political history.

Let’s jump in…. 🧵
1. CPP

They claim Alberta is owed $334 BILLION from CPP

FALSE!

That number comes from ONE poorly sourced report… paid for by tDanielle Smith’s UCP!!

The CPP Investment Board’s independent estimate? $100 billion!!

The APP overinflated their number 3.3X to make the math work Image
2. DOUBLE COUNT!

They count CPP contributions TWICE

Once as $15-17B in “retained federal revenue.” Then again as $5B flowing into the new Alberta Pension Plan

Same dollars
Same paycheques
Counted 2X

This is the fiscal plan they’re asking Albertans to stake their future on 😬 Image

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
