#Ableg News 🧵

There’s no “Good News Weeks” in Alberta; only slightly less awful weeks under the @UCPCaucus:

🤦🏻‍♂️- Kenney’s expensive referendum was useless (Story #1)

👨‍⚖️- Provincial Lawyers Threaten To Strike (#5)

📉- More Bad UCP Polls! (#X)

Here’s XX Bad News UCP Stories!
#Ableg News 🧵

1. Despite spending $10,000,000 in taxpayer 💰, Kenney’s “Equalization Referendum” had 0 influence on Canadians' support for the program, revealed a new national survey

This 100% goes against Kenney’s claim his referendum sent a “powerful message” to Canadians🤦🏻‍♂️
#Ableg News 🧵

2. Dr. Verna Yiu was fired by Kenney’s AHS Board, shocking health workers who admired her calm, compassionate leadership

Critics say she stood in the way of Kenney privatizing health care + supported COVID-19 mandates. Multiple UCP MLA’s publicly attacked her
#Ableg News 🧵

3. Thousands of Albertans protested the UCP and LaGrange in #YEG & #YYC

The focus was against the UCP’s new curriculum, which remains a contentious issue.

Intense public pushback has followed the UCP government's education ideas since they were first unveiled!
#Ableg News 🧵

4. The Rural Municipalities of Alberta, an association representing counties and municipal districts, says it opposes Kenney’s proposal for a provincial police force

The association says Kenney failed to prove how it increases service levels in rural areas
#Ableg News 🧵

😳

5. For the first time in 50-years, The Alberta Crown Attorneys' Association (ACAA) are considering going on strike!

The ACAA demanded Kenney address "the crisis in the justice system" including a shortage of prosecutors, crushing workloads & high turnover!
#Ableg News 🧵

6. There are MAJOR questions for Shandro after a 20-year veteran prosecutor was passed over for a special “QC” distinction by a UCP backed panel.

There is concern her previous support for the Alberta NDP was the reason. Shandro failed to respond to questions.
#Ableg News 🧵

Devastating…

7. In a fantastic report by @alanna_smithh shows the chaos and panic after the UCP canceled The Virtual Overdose Response project, less than 24hrs before it was to launch.

The project would have saved lives: the UCP threw away $900,000 instead.
#Ableg News 🧵

8. For the first time in 20-years, the Bow Valley area is dealing with a physician shortage.

The Bow Valley Primary Care Network (PCN) released a statement Monday (telling residents that due to doctors leaving the area, no physicians are accepting new patients!
#Ableg News 🧵

More Medical Collapse:

9. Due to an unexpected gap in physician coverage, the Ponoka Hospital & Care Centre emergency department (ED) is temporarily without physician coverage.

Patients requiring emergency medical care during this time are asked to call 911.
#Ableg News 🧵

🚨BAD POLL ALERT 🚨

10. 😳 Only 12% of Alberta voters are likely to vote for the UCP with Kenney remaining as leader, compared to 45% who are less likely.

The UCP currently trails the NDP by 12% province wide with healthy margins in both major urban centres!

Garnett Genuis is among the most SECRETIVE MPs in Canada.

🤫 He has a LENGTHY track record of being a discreetly funded opponent of LGBTQ+ & women's rights

Here are FIVE incidents EXPOSING how @GarnettGenuis is a problematic MP and a threat to Canada’s democracy:
#Ableg

1. 🤐 Secret Trips ✈️

Genuis has participated in 10 foreign-funded trips to conferences with undisclosed funding sources, more than ANY MP in 🇨🇦

When asked, he REFUSED to provide an explanation

It has since emerged MANY of these trips are tied to anti-LGBTQ+ groups Image
#Ableg

2. Anti-LGQBT Videos

Genuis used taxpayer money & resources from his MP office to produce a HORRIFIC video defending abusive conversion therapies!

He claimed conversion therapy bans discriminated against LGBTQ people

He REFUSED to answer q’s about the money/resources🤫 Image

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

Image

#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.

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
