#Ableg News 🧵

While our weather’s improving; it’s pouring REALLY Bad News for the @UCPCaucus:

🤦🏻‍♂️- 2 UCP MLA’s: 4 HUGE bozo eruptions (Story #3-6)

🤥 - Kenney “accidentally” blocks Alberta (#9)

😳- Albertan’s pay for a Kenney radio show (#11)

Here’s XX bad news UCP Stores
#awbleg News 🧵

1. Health Minister Copping officially removed vaccination restrictions for front line health care workers, even for those helping the most vulnerable patients at significantly high risk.

Experts say this is “not only is that unethical, but it is immoral”
#Anleg News 🧵

2. In one of the biggest power grabs in Alberta’s history - the UCP changed the Municipal Government Act to limit local governments to have face-covering or vaccine passport bylaws.

#YEG Mayor Sohi was shocked, saying “We are treated like kids by the province”
#Ableg News 🧵

3. In his first of two controversial comments, UCP MLA Shane Getson responded to Mayor Sohi’s concern saying municipalities are the “children of the province…it’s time for (them) to get spanked”

He was condemned by multiple leaders, the mayor & city councillors
#Ableg News 🧵

4. UCP MLA Shane Getson continued his controversial statements on International Women’s Day!

In a grammatically challenged post on Facebook, Shane celebrating the noted insurrectionist Tamara Lich telling her to “never give up” 🤦🏻‍♂️
#Ableg News 🧵

5. Not to be outdone, UCP MLA Tyler Shandro joined the UCP controversy 2X this week!

His first came by praising former disgraced Ukraine president @porosheno, a man who faced treason charges and forced to surrender his passport and was banned from leaving Kyiv
#Ableg News 🧵

6. Shandro - who is also facing misconduct charges - sparked controversy by saying Alberta has criminal court cases at risk of being tossed because of unreasonable delay.

Fact: Alberta has 3,000+ of cases at risk of being tossed because of unreasonable delay.
#Ableg News 🧵

😳

7. A day after Kenney said he’s heading to the US to DEMAND KXL to be built, TC Energy Corp. said (KXL) will not be revived.

Kenney said he’s STILL going to Houston Texas to call for KXL’s resurrection to help replace Russian oil imports to North America.
#Ableg News 🧵

8. Rural Alberta towns are facing a loss of $250,000,000 in tax revenue owed by oil companies, despite a massive surge in oil prices.

In 2020 Kenney gave a “temporary tax vacation” as O&G companies saw historically low prices; but has not lifted it. 🤦
#Ableg News 🧵

9. Tens of thousands of Albertans were prevented from viewing Kenney’s social media account after the “autoblock” feature was turned on.

Despite Kenney saying they had no clue, a Twitter spokesperson confirmed the default setting for safety mode is “off.”
#Ableg News 🧵

10. This week saw allegations of Kenney interfering with local grassroots UCP Elections!

Despite selling hundreds of memberships and community support, a candidate challenging UCP MLA Nixon was unjustly disqualified from the contest.

Nixon now has NO challenger
#Ableg News 🧵

11. Kenney will appear on a 1-hour, screened call, weekly radio show

Kenney’s spokesperson claimed the show was not "paid programming" taxpayers are still paying for ads to promote the show, and won’t say how much it will cost!

Critics say its “highly unusual”
#Ableg News 🧵

Yikes!!

12. A new survey shows that only 5% of Alberta’s teachers agree that Kenney’s new K-6 curriculum will be positive for students,

It also shows only 3% of teachers say they have the resources & support to successfully implement the new curriculums!
#Ableg News 🧵

13. Due to Kenney’s cuts to post secondary education, the U of A was forced to make SIGNIFICANT increases for the 2022-23 school year.

Increased include a 29% jump for a law degree, 71% for an MBA, and a 200% jump for a master’s in counselling psychology!
#Anleg News 🧵

DISGUSTING!!!

14. As leaked by @YYCCowboy, Kenney’s UCP are STILL moving ahead and attacking Alberta’s front line health care workers, including speech pathologists and social workers!!

He is currently threatening to reduce salaries by as much as 11%
#Anleg News 🧵

Perhaps some good news?

15. A new poll suggests Kenney will be out of a job if all Albertans are given the chance to vote.

A new survey suggests a HUGE majority (61%) of Albertans think the UCP should seek a new leader before the next provincial election!

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
