While it’s officially summer - it’s bad news season for the @UCPCaucus:

✈️ Critics Balk At Kenney’s Trip to DC (Story #1)

🪙 Kenney’s Crypto Bet Falls Flat (#2)

😳 3-Posts on Michelle Rempel’s failed UCP Leadership Run (9-11)

Here’s 12 Bad News UCP Stories!
#Ableg News 🧵

1. Kenney left on a trip to the US Congress to discuss energy

Multiple critics are questioning “what’s the point” since Kenney’s resigned as Premier

One critic observed he’s “not a decision-maker…he’s walking in with no credibility”

No costs were released 😳
#Ableg News 🧵

2. Since UCP MLA Doug Schweitzer announced Alberta will be “A Canadian Cryptoland” and part of the UCP “diversification strategy”, crypto market prices collapsed by ~60%.

Kenney tweeted his support for crypto on Sunday, suggesting he still remains Bullish 🤦🏻‍♂️
#Ableg News 🧵

3. A critical residential facility that provides safe 24-hour detox services was suddenly moved from an accessible downtown #YEG to a far outskirt

Despite UCP and AHS claims it’s “accessible”, critics proved it takes 3-4 hours and several public busses to reach
#Ableg News 🧵

4. During a press conference to announce 13 new deaths and 661 hospitalized Albertans from COVID19, Copping stated his weekly reports are over!

Despite many concerns over expiring vaccines, Copping had 0 plans for boosters to protect immunocompromised Albertans
#Ableg News 🧵

5. Emergency surgeries and services were diverted from several hospitals this week due to physical shortages, including the Rockyview General Hospital in #YYC.

Other closures impacted rural locations in Sylvan Lake and Two Hills

Good news though (see next story)
#Ableg News 🧵

6. When asked about the critical situation of Emergency Room Closures and a lack of physicians across Alberta, UCP MLA and Health Minister said it’s “Not So Bad!”

Copping claimed his work in physician compensation and international recruitment efforts will help
#Ableg News 🧵

7. After delays in contract negotiations between the UCP and Alberta’s Doctors broke down in 2020 & 2021…Health Minister Copping announced contract discussions are delayed again!

MD’s have been without a fee model since 2019 when Shandro tore up their contract
#Ableg News 🧵

8. An Alberta Union is sounding the alarm over a dangerous office GoA staff work in.

Incidents in 2022 include multiple floods and falling ceiling tiles on desks and meeting rooms

The UCP said they take it seriously and will move the 250 employees …in 2025 🤦🏻‍♂️
#Ableg News 🧵

9. Ms. Rempel Garner BARELY received a UCP caucus waiver exempting her from a 6-month membership requirement, allowing her to run for UCP Leadership.

Despite the waiver approval, 13 of 17 UCP MLAs spoke out AGAINST granting the LGQBT+ friendly Rempel a waiver.
#Ableg News 🧵

10. Despite a poll that showed her having a SIGNIFICANT lead over all other UCP Leadership candidates, Michelle Rempel bows out of the race.

In a SCATHING post, Rempel says while she could win, the @UCPCaucus is far too damaged to fix before the 2023 election!
#Ableg News 🧵

😳 YIKES…

11. Just hours after voicing her valid concerns over the vitriol and toxicity within Kenney’s UCP and the federal Conservative Party, several MP’s began organizing a campaign to see Michelle Rempel Garner expelled from the Conservative Party of Canada.
#Ableg News 🧵

12. Kenney silently announced a cabinet shuffle for Jason Nixon and 4 brand-new cabinet members

A bizarre appointment was UCP MLA Rutherford, who was named a “minister without portfolio”.

This comes with a hefty $20,000 bonus and an “honorary” title for life.

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

#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
