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!

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)

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 The man in this photo is Jason Kenney’s brother Dave

Dave:
✅- Was sued for operating an unlicensed conversation therapy clinic in BC
✅- Just closed his clinic in Ontario
✅- Secretly moved back to Alberta

I wonder why Jason cancelled regulating therapists in Alberta? Image
I’ll give you a hint #Ableg:

Expect Jason Kenney to invoke the notwithstanding clause to opt Alberta out of the federal laws banning conversation therapy in Alberta

Expect taxpayers to pay for it

The ONLY thing worse than one Oakville Kenney destroying Alberta is two of them
*conversion therapy of course!

Thank you @plasercalgary!
