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

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.

#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.

#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.

#Ableg News 🧵

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

#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!
