#Ableg News🧵

It you didn’t sleep this week…I’m there! Some REALLY bad @UCPCaucus kept me awake:

😡: Kenney Uses & Defends Racism (Story #4)
🏥: More Rural Hospitals Close (#6)
😞: Alberta OD Deaths Break Records (#8)

Let’s look at XX Bad News Stories:

(📸 @Isuckatpicking )
#Ableg News 🧵

🎉 UCP PARTY TIME! 🎊

1. 2-hours after Kenney told Albertans how serious Omicron is and to avoid gathering, 200+ UCP Members and MLAs secretly held a private party in #YEG!🍺

2. Because of online backlash, a huge UCP Party in #YYC the next day was cancelled 😞
#Ableg News 🧵

3. Despite knowing Omicron’s threat for WEEKS, the UCP only announced a new Covid19 booster program (18+) Tuesday

As they didn’t advise pharmacies in advance, it created a MASSIVE mess with appointments, leading to vaccine shortages and hundreds of cancellations
#Ableg News 🧵

4.😡 In an interview with Rick Bell, Kenney laughed about variants saying “Who knows what the next variant is…what’s the next bat soup thing out of Wuhan?

5. Kenney’s staff defended him saying he CAN’T be anti-Asian because he ate Chinese Food 2X this year! 😬
#Ableg News 🧵

🚑
6. Due to low staffing under Kenney, 3 northern Alberta towns won't have doctors on-site in their community's emergency departments for prolonged periods over the next few weeks: Swan Hills, Barrhead, and McLellan are in trouble!

More on this (Next Story…)
#Ableg News 🧵

7. Staffing is so bad all over Alberta under Kenney that the UCP government reversed AHS rules around vaccination mandates for front line health workers.

Unvaccinated AHS staff can now work with vulnerable patients providing they have a clean test every 2-days 🤦🏻‍♂️
#Ableg News 🧵

😞 Devastating News

8. A new report revealed 1,370 Albertans died of a drug poisoning between January and October 2021, making it the deadliest year on record

On average 4.5 Albertans are dying from an OD each day

One UCP MLA had a thought on this (next story)
#Ableg News 🧵

9. 🥴 UCP MLA Stephen blames safe consumption sites (SCS) for Red Deer’s homeless & crime concerns

Stephen claimed SCS’s attract out-of-town drug addicts who cause most of the trouble

Stephan was asked where he came up with the claim, but no clarity was given
#Ableg News 🧵

10. Kenney’s Australian coal mining pals, Benga Mines, REFUSE to pay a $1,300,000 bill owed to 4 environmental groups, a municipality, and a First Nation.

The costs relate to Banga losing a regulatory hearing which would allowing them to operate an open pit mine.
#Ableg News 🧵

🚨 4 NEW POLLS ALERT 🚨

11. On Rapid Test Rollout:

✅ - 30% of Albertans can’t get a rapid test
✅ - ONLY 20% say the UCP are doing a good job

12. Premier Net Approval Rating:
📉- Kenney’s “Net Approval” is MINUS 40!!! The worst in 🇨🇦

(there’s more…)
#Ableg News 🧵

13. Albertans on the Environment & Economy:

✅ 69% want the UCP to step up and protect the Bighorn backcountry of the Rocky Mountains as promised

✅ 62% think Alberta’s economy is heading in the wrong direction

✅ 45% will vote for the NDP 😆

Speaking of…
#Ableg News 🧵

The Best Poll of 2021:

14. If an election were held in Alberta today:

✅ 53% Would vote for the @abndpcaucus (a jump of 20% from 2019)

❌ ONLY 34% Would vote for the @UCPCaucus (a drop of 21%)
#Ableg News 🧵:

One last thought:

If you get the chance to meet your family this holiday season:

Speak Up.
Speak Loud.
Demand A Better Government.
It’s Didn’t Have to be this Way.

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

#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

UCP Environment & Protected Area Minister @rebeccakschulz is pretending there’s no conflict of interest as her husband is lobbying to change environmental laws and regulations.

Let’s look at 5 policies he’s looking to change and YOU decide if there’s a conflict….

../1
Image
#Ableg

1. Cole is lobbying to “cut administrative burdens” in Alberta’s “TEIR carbon pricing strategy” in order to help maximize O&G profits.

TIER (Regulation 133/2019) falls DIRECTLY under Rebecca’s portfolio as our Environmental and Protected Areas Minister
Image

#Ableg

2. Cole Schulz is lobbying to change “Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS)”

This involves promoting incentive and support for CCUS projects to develop underground storage models for “acid gas disposal” 😳

This program is under ASO Rebecca’s Enviro Ministry
