From the DM’s

Looks like the UCP has released their policy proposals for their AGM…

It’s…

Well, it’s probably exactly what most of you expect.

Including the start of defunding abortions.

*thread*

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Let’s start with the “not teaching kids anything that might make them aware of their privilege even if it’s anti-racist, intersectional or has anything to do with diversity or inclusion…

/2
From there, let’s go straight to a voucher system for all schooling, what could go wrong?

/3
How about making sure that no matter what, cities like #YYC and #YEG can’t ever get close to their own versions of “sovereignty”, cause that’s super bad for everyone…

/4
On the subject of energy, one of the proposals calls for the outright banning of wind & solar in any areas that could be used for agriculture…

/5
You know what we really need back in Alberta politics?

CORPORATE MONEY!

/6
You know what else we need? Patients making their own decisions about what meds and treatments they want to try despite evidence!

That’ll go well…

/7
Remember how the UCP said they would never go after abortion?

One of the policies?

Let’s defund some abortions!

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

/8
Sometimes you have to wonder if a policy is solving a perceived problem or just advancing an agenda…

Is the government currently forcing parents to acknowledge trans kids?

/9
Ooooo looks like maybe Team Smith contributed this one?

Pretty much says Sovereignty Act without saying it and ignores this is federal jurisdiction for approval…

/10


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
And they’re doubling down on conscience rights, even refining the wording…

So if you want medical treatment, there’s a “right to try”, unless you’re…

somehow disagreeable?

/11
That’s just what we’ve been sent so far…

We’re told these are all policies to be debated for acceptance at the October UCP AGM, they have been sent out to prioritize order of debate.

If the Socons really have showed up…

Dark days in ‘Berta.

As a postscript…

What does it cost to vote on this radioactive dumpster fire of policies?

(And yikes! They doubled the observer pass cost!)

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Another postscript…

So that was super well executed apparently…

The Candidate who wants to create her own police force that she directs…

is sensationalizing environmental enforcement?

It’s almost as if she’s actively trying to distance herself from her Net Zero policies that didn’t get support from the APP…

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

/1
Wonder what the job description is actually like…

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

/2
And here’s Smith claiming that she will use the Alberta Sovereignty Act to block lawful enforcement of federal laws.

There’s nothing unconstitutional about federal enforcement agencies enforcing federal laws. Especially in, say… National Parks?

Since the theme of #abpoli is saying the quiet part out loud tonight.

The 2 leading candidates in the UCP leadership race were clear they want to…

- control the courts
- disregard the ones they can’t

1/4

#ableg #cdnpoli
- choose what laws to follow have a police force that will do what they say
- place individual rights above all else
- Gut AHS
- purge if not eliminate the college of physicians and surgeons
- destroy the bureaucracy that protects Albertans from politicians

2/4
The front runner doubled down on…

- micro schools & vouchers
- private health care
- using Elon Musk to circumvent federal broadcasting regulations
- Consider separatism
- use public tax dollars to pay for unproven health treatments
- reiterated lies about ICU capacity

So the APP are live-streaming their forum on twitter spaces…

Betting that the folks who paid the $7 for the online ticket aren’t at all feeling ripped off…

Anyways, we’ll live tweet till they kick us off…

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Jean is speaking…

He’s going after the APP and their separation agenda. So far, he ain’t legitimizing them, he’s blowing holes in their entire plan.

But he gets people are angry.
Jean - We need to negotiate with confederation, and there’s a history of those negotiations being successful.

“Maybe I’m naive and wrong”.

The APP are discussing the number of live listeners, apparently not realizing they’re talking over Jean…

So what’s the deal with the fertilizer anyways?

UCP Leadership candidates are lighting their hair on fire about how the feds want to take away fertilizer from farmers.

But is that what’s actually happening?

(You already know the answer, but 🧵!)

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

/1
So what is happening is the feds have identified that there needs to be a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases by about 30% by 2030.

While that CAN mean just use 30% less fertilizer, there’s actually a whole lot of options available.

/2
There’s different methods, different fertilizers, etc.

And the feds have acknowledged that different strategies will be needed across the country for different environments and crops.

So what they’re doing, until the end of August is holding consultation.

So here’s a fun little thread…

So we got a DM about this gofundme campaign Smith set up about a year ago…

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Some cursory google searches don’t seem to show any major court actions going on despite the promises that’s what the gofundme was for…

But there is this little update…

/2
So $10,000 went to a law firm out of Airdrie.

Let’s take a closer look at that law firm!

Wait, that guy on the right looks kinda familiar…

So uh…

About that Mountainview Freedom Forum.

It uh.

It got pretty wild.

Here’s @ABDanielleSmith arguing that not only should pastors who monetized the health protections get amnesty, but they should also get “compensation”.

Including Artur.

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Not to be outdone, @BrianJeanAB stood up and pledged to never arrest a pastor if premier, and then went after the judiciary, yet again…

/2


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
So with Brian and Danielle both publicly pledging that they would never ever arrest a pastor, we only have one question…

Really?
