#Ableg News 🧵

Happy Friday Alberta! Unfortunately, it wasn’t so happy for the @UCPCaucus

This week we saw:

🤷🏻‍♂️- 9,000,000 Missing Rapid Tests (Story #3)
📉- Horrible UCP Polls ( #9/10)
🧳- Record #YYC Vacancy (#15)

Pull out the Jamieson’s: here’s 16 Bad News UCP stories!
#Ableg News 🧵

1. This week started with @bedhuntersab) releasing a memo showing due to a critical staff shortage, Cold Lake’s 14,000 residents would largely have no ER doctors on site.

2. We also saw 550 times EMS services were delayed, dropped, or unavailable across Alberta!
#Ableg News 🧵

Something’s Fishy! 🐠

3. Despite receiving over 15,000,000 rapid tests from the Federal Gov’t, there’s ZERO rapid tests available at pharmacies

New supplies of rapid testing aren’t available until next week

Gov’t Data shows Alberta is missing 9,000,000 tests
#Ableg News 🧵

4. Alberta Teachers were secretly removed from the AHS "essential worker" list JUST before @CMOH_Alberta cancelled tests for "non-essential” workers (@GCarabine)

5. Despite the past ability to run 22,000 PCR tests/day, AHS was told to limit tests to 12,000/day
#Ableg News 🧵

6. During a press conference on Monday, Dr. Hinshaw said she DID NOT have the legal authority to introduce public health measures related to COVID-19.

Health law experts dispute this, suggesting that either Hinshaw doesn’t understand her role or she is lying 🤔
#Ableg News 🧵

7. During the same brutal press conference, Dr. Hinshaw took credit for AHS developing a new “rapid test reporting” template

She negated to mention it was ripped off from @popalberta, a group the UCP has attacked for 23 months

(Credit: @ElleBrandenburg)
#Anleg News 🧵

Yikes!!! 😷

8: Turns out the “medical grade masks” the UCP purchased and delayed schools a week for shipment are:

❌ NOT recommended for more than 4 hours of use
❌ NOT medical grade masks as promised, and
❌ NOT FDA approved

(@jvipondmd)
#Ableg News 🧵

🚨 Bad Polls Alert!! 🚨

9. Only 17% of Albertans support Kenney (73% think Alberta would be better off with a new leader)

10. Oooooof! Kenney’s pandemic response ranks the worst in Canada: Net -36% (MINUS 36%)
#Ableg News 🧵

11. So it begins!

Anti-Kenney UCP MLA Leela Aheer’s entire riding board was voted out this week.

This signals a Kenney-directed takeover of her board which may see Ms. Aheer NOT get the nomination to run as a candidate in the 2023 election.
#Anleg News 🧵

12. Aspiring UCP leader Brian Jean sounds alarms on Kenney’s attempt to switch the leadership review from in-person to digital

He referenced that during his election, 200 votes (10%) suddenly came from fake email accounts; similar to the 2017 UCP Leadership vote
#Ableg News 🧵

13. AHS laid off 334 laundry workers at hospitals across Alberta and replacing them with K-Bro, a privatized service, as per recommendations of Kenney’s Blue Ribbon Panel.

It is noted that Panel member and Kenney’s friend Mike Percy is a board member for K-Bro.
#Ableg News 🧵

14. Alberta's Child & Youth Advocate demanded the UCP to explain how they’re implementing the recommendations made by his office before a committee of MLAs. 

The UCP suddenly closed the panel and refused to answer his questions or respond to his recommendations
#Ableg News 🧵

15. Despite Kenney promising to revitalize Calgary’s downtown, the vacancy rate officially hit 33.2%z.

This is the first time in 30 years of reporting by CBRE that a major Canadian metropolitan centre has hit this troubling milestone!
#Ableg News 🧵

16. Alberta officially has the second worst pandemic response numbers in Canada, and significantly higher than the Canadian average (again).
If the malicious attacks on Alberta’s teachers disgust you, please contact @AdrianaLaGrange’s representative, @nicoledsparrow and DEMAND they stop their assault, back down from attacking the union, and work WITH teachers

Enough is Enough Adriana.

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
