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”
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”
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
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
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.
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!
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%
1. Despite THOUSANDS of signatures, Kenney still allowed 3 major coal pit projects (Grassy Mountain, Tent Mountain, Vista Expansion) to proceed to the land use phase
Despite this - a LONG regulatory process remains ahead federally and they may not be approved 🤞
2. Physicians sounded the alarm on the potential backlog of surgeries caused by Kenney continuing to do nothing about covid. This will force surgical staff to be redeployed
Kenney’s mismanagement of Delta already resulted in postponing 81,000 surgeries
