2.Kenney filed his defence in a defamation lawsuit. He’s being sued by environmental groups for falsely claiming they’re to blame for Alberta’s struggling oil sector
In his defence, Kenney actually blamed the groups for forcing countries to rely on Russian oil 🤦🏻♂️
3. Kenney said he’s now exploring Alberta buying the now dead KXL…or put BILLIONS into “a son, a successor, to KXL could be some kind of joint public participation” 🤦
This means more of Alberta’s money on a pipeline not currently supported by Canada or the USA
4. At a recent gathering of local leaders, Alberta Municipalities voted in opposition to the UCP’s “Provincial Police” proposal; a change that will cost $200,000,000 more per year and 6+ year’s to complete.
Kenney has never indicated how it would be funded.
5.Investor Executive, a national magazine for 120,000 financial advisors, sent a warning!
Despite Alberta’s balanced budget and ok economy, Kenney’s still under attack, unpopular, and creating a politically unstable environment for investors! 😅
6. After 2-years of helping Albertan’s through Covid-19, the UCP is demanding health care workers take a 10% wage cut, reducing benefits,and changing work rules.
Thousands of respiratory therapists, social workers and pharmacists are impacted.
8. Newly elected UCP MLA and anti-Kenney proponent Brian Jean received a loud applause from all sides of the house when introduced in #Abpoli on Thursday
Kenney and his good pal deputy premier Jason Nixon were notably absent when Jean was introduced.
9. In a bizarre series of attacks from Kenney, his dark-money PAC Unite Alberta, and UCP MLAs Nixon & Madu - claim Notley is now secretly working with Brian Jean
Notley said this was the “most tortured attack lines” and suggests “Premier Jason needs more sleep”
10. In advance of the leadership vote, Alberta’s taxpayer-paid political staffers received emails directing them to time off work and volunteer to call Kenney supporters!
Critics suggest Kenney pressuring employees to do this steps into an “ethical grey area”.
Respected Alberta Pollster Janet Brown says Kenney’s team is so “desperate for some good news," they secretly acquired and leaked her confidential polls after she refused to release it.
Brown says the data has been “stripped out the context”!
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”
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 🤞
