#Ableg News 🧵

It was a wild week in Alberta; and a HORRIBLE one for the @UCPCaucus:

👮‍♂️- New info on the UCP Election Fraud Investigation (Story #1)

🔥- UCP MLA’s Demand Kenney Resign (#3)

🙄- is “Leaked” Audio of a Kenney Rant Staged? (#14)

Here’s 14 bad news UCP stories:
#Ableg News 🧵

😮

1. @carolyndunncbc reveals INCREDIBLE evidence from Alberta’s largest electoral investigation: The sham 2017 UCP Leadership Election which led to $200,000 in fines

Despite Kenney saying otherwise Witnesses say he was there to discuss illegal money transfers!
#Ableg News 🧵

2. Several UCP members sound the alarm over Kenney’s last minute change to the UCP leadership review

Members suggest his substantial changes are against UCP Bylaws and illegal.

One member said “it’s the worst division I’ve ever seen and it has to be stopped.”
#Ableg News 🧵

3. Two of Kenney’s backbenchers have broken ranks, calling the UCP’s revamped leadership review “a sham” and Kenney ‘needs to resign.

UCP MLA’s Guthrie and Stephen say the party’s late changes are designed to “ensure Kenney wins a vote he was destined to lose”
#Ableg News 🧵

4. An arbitrator ruled Kenney’s secretive Canadian Energy Centre is immune from FOIP requests, and the public has no access to it

Experts say the $30M taxpayer funded project is just “propagandizing by the UCP for O&G [and] voters need to know about it”#Ab
#Ableg News 🧵

5. The UCP broke a promise that 100% of the “Kananaskis Conservation Pass” would be reinvested into the area.

Alberta’s using pass funds for 19 new conservation officers but only 6 are dedicated to K-Country. Critics say “the fee is based on a false pretense.”
#Ableg News 🧵

😬

6. Wastewater readings in Alberta are trending up, indicating new COVID-19 infections are rising significantly amid the Omicron subvariant BA.2 becoming the dominant strain.

Experts warn that better tracking is required….but on that note (see next story)
#Ableg News 🧵

7. Despite COVID-19 cases potentially rising, a positivity rate of 23%, hospital outbreaks, and that Albertans reported covid cases are much higher due to testing limits…

Health Minister Copping is stepping down public reporting, moving them to weekly updates
#Ableg News 🧵

8. 2 new studies show a record number of young people are leaving Alberta for places such as Vancouver and Toronto.

Experts suggest the current negative political climate, which steers away from diversity and inclusion, is seen as a major reason.
#Ableg News 🧵

Shocking!

9. Another reports showed that In 2021 we saw a 300% jump in doctors leaving Alberta! 2 Cited Reasons:

✅ Kenney scrapping the physician compensation agreement (2019)
✅ Shandro & the UCP denigrating doctors in public

This is a Kenney-made crisis
#Ableg News 🧵

10. Since Kenney removed the cap, Alberta‘s seen power bulls jumped 200%

Now 1,000+ Albertan families may be disconnected from power next month when the restriction stopping services is lifted:

The NDP asked for an extension, Kenney blocked the request.
#Ableg News 🧵

11. Another NDP bill asking the UCP to block ALL coal mining in our Rocky Mountains died after the UCP voted against it.

The bill attempted to address a large hole left on Kenney’s temporary moratorium, which could allow coal mines to continue without notice.
#Ableg News 🧵

12. In one of his most bizarre rants yet. Kenney actually said in #Ableg that “the Liberal-NDP agreement was bad…especially since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine…the world knows that we need to increase and produce more Alberta energy to displace ‘dictator oil,'”
#Ableg News 🧵

13. A new AG Report revealed Kenney’s mishandling of over $1,000,000,000 in federally funds to clear up orphaned wells.

Funds MUST be allocated by March 31 - yet only 55% has been used.

Any money not spent or allocated must be returned to the government
#Ableg News 🧵

14. In a suspicious “Leaked” audio from a UCP party caucus meeting, Kenney said he was close to quitting ahead of the upcoming leadership review. 

During the rant Kenney said “I don't need this job. I could go to the private sector”.

Many suggest it was staged.
