#Ableg News 🧵

Despite Kenney’s fake Covid19 update; it’s been a HORRIBLE week in Alberta:

🤥 Kenney mislead Albertans about Food Shortages (Story #1)

🪨 UCP pit mines hit a dead end (#5-6)

👨‍🏫 Alberta Teachers are done with the UCP (#8)

Here’s 13 REALLY bad UCP news stories!
#Ableg News 🧵

🤥 Liar Liar!

1. Experts are blasting Kenney’s choice to weaponize pictures showing empty shelves.

One expert said it “will not help the current situation”. There may be some Price increases, but not potential food shortages”
#Ableg News 🧵

2. New survey shows under Kenney. Albertans’ confidence in their personal finances hit an all-time low!

Nearly m 50% of Albertan’s are Not optimistic about their future in this province.

This is not just the lowest number in Canada, but in the Survey’s history!
#Ableg News 🧵

3. More Surgery Cancellations!

Alberta's hospitalization hit new highs and surgeries are being postponed — causing uncertainty for doctors and patients alike!

“It's not just surgeries, it's endoscopy and psychological treatment … it's a whole range of things."
#Ableg News 🧵

Speaking of surgeries…

4. Kenney lied to Albertans about the number of cancelled surgeries, downplaying the number by 7,000 surgeries.

The total number of all surgeries cancelled due to his poor pandemic response remains around 81,000 cancelled procedures!
#Ableg

5. High River’s Mayor sounding the alarm over a recent meeting with Kenney and Savage.

He felt they both signalled their intention to move forward with Australian companies developing open pit mining regardless; a move the mayor was “100% certain” Kenney wanted
#Ableg News 🧵

Unfortunately for Kenney’s open mining dreams:

6. Alberta’s top court DENIED a request by Kenney’s Australian Open Pit mining pals, Benga, to appeal a regulatory decision.

They are not approved to open a Grassy Mountain coal mine in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains!
#Ableg News 🧵

7. In a great article by @JeremyAppel1025, Madu’s “investigation” is under scrutiny.

While not a direct conflict of interest, Kenney appointing his pal and former cabinet college’s’ sister to investigate the Madu questioning the investigation’s impartiality 🤔
#Anleg News 🧵

8. A new survey from the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) conducted at the end of November suggests more than 37% of respondents reported they probably won’t be teaching in Alberta next year.

Many stated burnout and attacks from @jkenney as a major reason
#Ableg News 🧵

9. A group of Calgary moms are forced to fundraising to do what they say the UCP government failed to do: Supply teachers and support staff across the province with better quality PPE.

(Huge thank you @amandalhu!!!)
#Ableg News 🧵

10. On Saturday, the wait time for ER at Red Deer hospital hit 14 hours, with one person dying in the wait room

AHS said the weekend demand surged dramatically with an influx of COVID-19 patients
#Ableg News 🧵

11. AHS opened its pandemic response unit in #YEG as the province reported a pandemic-high for COVID-19 hospitalizations for the 6th straight day and 13 additional deaths.

Hospitalizations increased of 51% in a single day!
#Ableg News Thread

12. Alberta’s Omicron rates are~ 200% higher than the national average

13 Despite record hospitalizations forcing field hospitals to open, Kenney told his UCP MLA’s omicron is almost over and gave a thumbs up to travel internationally again (@elisevonscheel)

#Ableg

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

#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

#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
