😳 New court documents show the UCP ignored key medical data (Story #1)

😢 Nobody wants LaGrange’s curriculum (#2)

😡 UCP MLA promotes Trudeau’s assassination (#4)

Here’s 14 Bad News Stories
#Ableg News 🧵

WTF! 😳

1. SHOCKING new court documents show the @ucpcacus dismissed critical data advising temporary mask mandates be left in Alberta schools to make students & staff safer from COVID-19 infections

They chose to lift them and “pander to anti-mask protesters”
#Ableg News 🧵

2. A new report from stakeholders & public survey feedback on the UCP’s draft K-6 curriculum shows a STUNNINGLY low level of support and high degree of dismay

In a survey of 34,000 Albertans, just 21% thought it was “positive” compared to 62% deemed “negative”
#Ableg News 🧵

3. Critics warn Albertans over secretive changes that gives Environmental Minister Jason Nixon MORE power despite the UCP claiming it helps“reduce red tape”

This move “threatens parks and protected areas” and “lead to commercial development without consultation”
#Ableg News 🧵

4. UCP MLA Shane Getson is facing backlash after making a veiled threat to Justin Trudeau

He posted a photo saying “Take Trudeau to the train station,” referring to TV show “Yellowstone” meaning to kill someone and hide their body

Getson claims he didn’t know🙄
#Ableg News 🧵

5. Kenney released new UCP staff conduct rules after an investigating claims by a former UCP staffer who was fired when she raised concerns of sexual harassment of an employee by a senior UCP staffer.

Kenney’s office still faces a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal.
#Ableg News 🧵

6. Unfortunately. the lawyer for the victim’s of Kenney’s office harassment suggests that his brand new policy is awful

It will do zero to “protect employees from harassment or retaliation” and “nothing to resolve the allegedly problematic culture within the UCP”
#Anleg News 🧵

7. Kenney offered no apologies to Albertans Tuesday as he stood for questions for the 1st time since quitting.

When asked if he’d have done things differently, he launched into an answer focused on COVID-19 fury; and refused to say sorry or take responsibility
#Ableg News 🧵

8. Many UCP politicians and activists were FURIOUS after Kenney blamed his forced exit on anti-vaccine militants

UCP critics say Kenney’s refuses to admit his own failings, which they consider a far larger factor in the party rebellion than anti-vaccine sentiment
#Ableg News 🧵

9. UCP MLA Jackie Armstrong-Honinuk was caught billing Albertans $100,981 since 2020 on “travel”

While she claimed it was to “attend events and work sittings” critics point out that many events and sittings were cancelled or done virtually due to Covid-19. 😬
#Ableg News 🧵

10.The University of Alberta continues seeing their World University Rank decline under the UCP

Global Rank: 126 (90 under NDP)
Graduate Employability: 99 (87 under NDP)

Several reasons caused this, including the UCP reducing funding by $222 million since 2020
#Ableg News 🧵

11. Due to lack of physician coverage the entire Bassano Health Centre emergency department will be closed overnight on weekends

The ER was already closed for 15 hours straight in May. Despite the warnings, the UCP have not provided any solutions to resolve this
#Ableg News 🧵

12. For the 1st time in its history, the Alberta Medical Association began public consultations to gather input on how the health system failed them under the UCP

Topics include lengthy wait times, lack of family GP’s or specialists, or any other key problems!
#Ableg News 🧵

13. The OAG’s audit of 6 programs under Alberta’s Indigenous Relations saw “foundational elements of the accountability model” were missing.

In fact, the UCP was called out for suspending funding for 3 specialized Aboriginal programs without any justification.
#Anleg News 🧵

Our first story this week involved Hinshaw…and it will end with Hinshaw!

14. Alberta's has confirmed its first case of monkeypox. Dr. Deena Hinshaw made the announcement on Thursday by Twitter.

There was no schedule follow-up or additional details provided.
#Ableg News 🧵

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

#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.

Rebecca promised to “protest our beautiful landscapes”…but let’s see what ACTUALLY happened…

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

UCP Environment & Protected Area Minister @rebeccakschulz is pretending there’s no conflict of interest as her husband is lobbying to change environmental laws and regulations.

Let’s look at 5 policies he’s looking to change and YOU decide if there’s a conflict….

../1
Image
#Ableg

1. Cole is lobbying to “cut administrative burdens” in Alberta’s “TEIR carbon pricing strategy” in order to help maximize O&G profits.

TIER (Regulation 133/2019) falls DIRECTLY under Rebecca’s portfolio as our Environmental and Protected Areas Minister

#Ableg

2. Cole Schulz is lobbying to change “Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS)”

This involves promoting incentive and support for CCUS projects to develop underground storage models for “acid gas disposal” 😳

This program is under ASO Rebecca’s Enviro Ministry
