Meet Tyler Shandro-possibly the most incompetent, negligent, and disturbing UCP MLA/Minister of them all (which is really hard to do, the competition is strong)
A thread 🧵 on why @shandro is an abhorrent elected official that needs to resign now #ableg#FireTheUCP#ShandroMustGo
Let's start with when many of us, at least me, first saw Tyler Shamedro. It's even more cringe now and was a perfect preview for the incompetence and utter embarassment that he was to inflict on us as a province as health minister. Link to article cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Shandro was the general in the continuing war on doctors, and other HCWs, in this province. His desperate need to impose his and Kenney's will, to cut and damage our system, went back and forth, angering anyone paying attention, and culminating in Shandro tearing up the contract
Resulting in shandro being one of the most untrusted and untrustworthy of the lot (very hard to achieve considering all the other UCP deplorables) In a survey, 98% of docs in an AMA referendum said they have no confidence in Shandro.. still seems about 2% lower than it should be.
The tearing up of the contract as well as details about his wife's company, Vital partners (private health company), raised serious questions about Shandro's ethics and a conflict of interest. A doctor, who was a UCP member, posted this infamous meme in regards to this issue
Which resulted in Shandro and his wife, getting so butthurt over a meme (ffs) that they literally, yes literally as an elected official and minister, drove to the doctors house and proceeded to yell and berate him, in front of his family, over posting the meme on facebook.
This coined the term 'Shantrum', a term used for a thin skinned official who melts like a snowflake when the going gets tough or he is called out for his negligence, disrespect, and disdain for the province he promised to care for.. perfect term for @shandro.. he's a willow
And while the ethics commissioner said it wasn't a conflict of interest with his wife's company (
),
The same day that Shandro cut back benefit coverage, Vital Partners had a blog, welcoming the move of course.. more $$ for them pressprogress.ca/albertas-healt…
BTW, this wasnt the last harassment shandro would impose onto private citizens - he, certainly unethically and likely illegally, obtained the PRIVATE cell numbers of two docs who criticized him, and called them up to intimidate them late at night.. wtaf?!! cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
More evidence of his disdain & threatening nature, Shandro also threatened to use legislature security on citizens emailing him to ask questions and criticize on his perceived conflict of interest. Abhorrent but typical behavior for Shandro & the UCP.. ignore or threaten citizens
On evidence of Shandro's pure ineptitude & incompetence, in a May 31 presser of this year about a 200 page report/plan about transforming continuing care, Shandro & his terrible press sec completely failed to provide a tech briefing to the press. Watch the dumb look on his face
Here's the followup, calling him out on his incompetence. Much like Kenney, you can tell when he bumbles and stumbles around the question.. surprised he didnt ask where Dean Bennett lives to go and pay him a 'visit' at his driveway
In even more evidence of his negligence and lack of listening to experts, Shandro pushed for the consolidation of EMS, against the better judgement of many.
Every single Canadian taxpayer should be livid about this.. this is all OUR money, fellow Canucks, and not a single well for the 1 BILLION dollars provided was cleaned up..

Adding - @RKBtoo is basically an expert in this program (originally called RStar) and has been in the trenches fighting and uncovering the details on this for awhile.
Example of typical UCP voter - guy has abandoned wells on his land - and yet when shown that Smiths new program goes directly against a core capitalistic principle of responsibility and obligations, he blames the bank, for not providing a solution.. wtf? 1/5 #ableg#FireTheUCP
It shows the level of gaslighting and bias of the typical UCP voter. this case is a prime example. His own land is being polluted by someone who shirked their obligations, and he gets mad at the bank for not coming up with the solution?
2/5
They defend Smith saying 'at least she's doing something' when the feds have given 1B to cleanup wells (none have been cleaned from that money yet is my understanding) and back her corporate socialism while claiming she is the premier touting personal responsibility and order
3/5
A govt that hasn't cut the justice department so badly that not only are 1000's of cases in jeopardy but also a strike by crown prosecutor is looming due to negligence, a govt that doesn't use GOP talking points (CRT) they purposefully don't understand to fearmonger their base
A govt that doesn't direct staff to flout FOIP requests and have an unwritten policy to delete and/or 'massage' FOIP material and ask to use their personal phones for government business, a govt who BEGS for help from the feds to stop a blockade and then sue's them for helping...
A govt that doesn't give away BILLIONS by reducing the Corp tax (which didn't create jobs anyways, some corps took the money and left) but then takes away insulin pumps for vulnerable albertans (including children ffs) to save a measly 9 million dollars
Watch @jkenney lie about the Nazi stuff today. He claimed in the presser that the 'exact wording'.. can be found in the 08 version of the doc.. and yet, as exposed by @kim_siever today, the exact wording was modified in the 2020 release by @AdrianaLaGrange dept #ableg#UCPLies
Here's the change from the 2008 document to the 2020 version.. someone modified it someone had to approve it, and yet LaGrange claims her dept had never seen it before? And Kenney, as usual, lies like a rug #ableg#KenneyLies#ResignLaGrange h
