#Ableg News 🧵

14. Kenney later came out with another statement, saying he still thinks the flu poses a greater risk to kids than Covid-19, ignoring the last 20-months and recent trends.

15. Alberta’s Coal Policy Panel Is accused of bias and influence from US special interests
#Ableg News Thread:

The next 17 bad news stories are Kenney’s illegal funding and the AGM!

16. On Monday, MLA Madu said the NDP were the most corrupt and “Undemocratic party in the world” after they questioned Kenney’s questionable donation bill.

#Ableg News 🧵

17. In an unheard of move, an NDP motion to debate whether Kenney should be censured over his lies and mishandling over the recent 4th Covid-19 was suddenly moved from the front to the end of the #Ableg agenda, so it wouldn’t be heard

Kenney hid from the vote
#Ableg News 🧵

18. On Tuesday, UCP MLA Guthrie UNLOADS on Kenney in a scathing article.

#Ableg News 🧵

27. This is a mixed story.

On Wednesday, #Ableg came together in an INCREDIBLE way to help @TheBreakdownAB appear at the UCP AGM!

After buying a ticket and receiving confirmation, the UCP wrote 24-hours later and said he missed a deadline?
I just wanted to thank each person in #Ableg for helping @NatePike try and appear at the UCP AGM.

It truly was an inspiring story of what we can do together as a single fantastic community.

Special thanks to @alisoncassis1 for spearheading it, and to every single donor!

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
