#Ableg News 🧵:

Happy New Year Alberta!

I REALLY hoped 2022 would give the @UCPCaucus a fresh start, Inwas horribly wrong:

😡 Kenney insults Asians (Story #1)
🤦🏻‍♂️ UCP MLA ignores Covid restrictions (#12)
❤️‍🩹 Victims of Crime Lose Help (#13)

Let’s explore 13 bad news UCP stories
#Ableg News 🧵

1. Kenney started off 2022 just like he did January 2021 - apologizing to Albertans!

Instead of being sorry for travelling UCP MLA’s, it was for denigrating the Asian community.

Critics argued Kenney didn’t apologize, rather sorry people were offended. 🤦🏻‍♂️
#Ableg News 🧵

2. After Kenney slashed BILLIONS from Alberta’s post secondary institutions, despite increased workloads, Concordia University faculty was forced to strike affecting ~2,500 students

The UofA,UofL & Mount Royal University are also headed in the same direction
#Ableg News 🧵

3. Due to a lack of resources, low staffing and overwhelming cases. AHS is no longer offering contact tracing or report cases for highly vulnerable child care facilities,

This means that providers or parents will NOT be told about any risk of exposure. 😳
#Ableg News 🧵

4. ❤️‍🩹: More than 68,200 Albertans have or are expected to develop long term and potentially debilitating symptoms of long-COVID, AHS estimates

The majority of those suffering are Albertan children

These are “optimistic” numbers before Omicron impacts Alberta.
#Ableg News 🧵

5. Ooof!

Despite Kenney’s bravado that Alberta is the “destination of choice for Canadian’s to relocate”, a new poll suggests less than half (49%) would feel “comfortable” living in Alberta under Jason Kenney and the UCP.
#Ableg News 🧵

The EMS crisis continues!

6. On Monday night, 1,744,000 Albertan’s went without ANY ambulance service

7. Since Monday there has been OVER 450 instances of Alberta’s Ambulance services being dropped, no ambulances available or more than 30-minutes to respond
#Ableg News 🧵

8. Family physicians around Alberta expressed SERIOUS concern about the UCP’s decision to recommend self-reports to family physicians instead of through other means.

Doctors cite the UCP are ignoring AHS has the capacity to expand capacity to do the PCR testing
#Ableg News 🧵

9. During a BRUTAL presser, LaGrange was asked by 12 YO @wyattsharpe8 why she used Ontario as a comparison to go online since Ontario took stronger actions & Alberta’s worse covid #/capita, despite being 2-wks behind

LaGrange gave a quick answer & walked away.
#Ableg News 🧵:

10. At another presser, Dr Hinshaw announced AHS will no longer investigate COVID-19 cases within schools.

As a result, school COVID-19 outbreaks will NOT be reported on the GoA website, and schools will not send case notification messages home to parents.
#Ableg News 🧵

11. The Edmonton Public School board posted an open letter of concern to Adriana LaGrange about the lack of supports and rise of omicron.

The EPSB Superintendent made a request on December 29 due to operational concerns: but LaGrange did not respond.
#Ableg News 🧵:

12. @UCPCaucus MLA Dale Nally IGNORED Kenney’s Covid19 restrictions saying masking at all times, and no food and drink at hockey arenas.

When asked if Kenney would take action as promised, his staffer @JustinBrattinga attacked a former NDP MLA instead.
#Anleg News Thread:

This one is the worst yet;

13. As highlighted by the incredible @ntighe, the UCP broke their promise to provide funding to victims of crime in 2022.

To be clear; this was a major promise made; an important one, and the UCP will leave them with nothing.

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

#Ableg

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
