3. *Surprise** Seasoned journalist @Mitchell_AB, was denied access to the AGM!
After the UCP confirmed she was on a media list, screened her into the venue, handed her a media pass…they suddenly said she was no longer recognized by the UCP and asked to leave!
4. Former Wildrose Party leader Danielle Smith is now **maybe** interested in taking over the UCP
5. An MD Conscious Rights motio passed; This would allow MD’s to refuse issuing contraceptive devices, ignore women’s rights, and deny care for transgender patients
8. 😬 During the Legislative Public Accounts Committee, both De. Hinshaw & Dr. Yiu admitted that AHS had FAILED to do any COVID-19 modelling or projections during wave 2.
This modelling could have help stopped the early spread of the disease.
9. The UCP claim they can't offer in-school Covid vaxes to kids as “parents need consent”, ignoring permission slips exist (and currently give inoculations)
10. Alberta’s the ONLY Canadian province where residents can’t use their QR code for international travel
13. Environmental groups are threatening to sue Jason Kenney for defamation if he doesn’t retract and apologize for statements saying a public inquiry found they spread misinfo about the province’s O&G industry.
14. Whoopsie! The UCP used the Quebec Provincial flag instead of the Franco-Albertan flag to present UCP MLA Dan Williams as the Parliamentary Secretary in charge of la Francophonie..
15. UCP staffers get ANGRY when Dan is asked a question in French
16. @gilmcgowan finds MAJOR flaws in Kenney’s new election law:if a group wants to run a campaign m publicly criticizing the govt they first have to register as a TPA; their application to register as a TPA will be rejected if they’ve publicly criticized the govt"
17. This is the deadliest year EVER recorded for kids in Alberta’s child intervention system
After UCP MLA Schultz promised to not cut supports for former foster children, she cut 2/3 of them. 16 kids died since April. Shultz promised she’s “working on it”
3. High-profile UCP MLA’s are now supporting 22-constituency associations who are demanding a UCP leadership review, including Tany Yao and Jeremy Nixon
Kenney is STILL trying to rig the rules at this weekends UCP AGM so they require 28.
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!
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!
1. 🤦🏻♂️ The UCP began the week attacking #YYC new mayor @JyotiGondek’s enviro stance!
2. 🤥 The UCP lied about the Allen report findings! Despite claiming BILLIONS were spent by enviro groups criticizing Alberta’s oil, evidence only supported $50M…OVER 17-years!
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
1.Secret documents show Education Minister LeGrange and Health Minister Copping knew of the massive outbreaks of COVID-19 in central Alberta schools last month…
They STILL didn’t tell parents, students or workers of the massive risk… #Abpoli
