A brief history of the UCP government so far.🧵 #ableg
They came roaring out of the gates with a $4.7 billion corporate handout, followed by decisions to raise the cost of your income taxes, electricity, education property taxes, parks, insurance and more.
Corporations over people from day one. 🧵 #ableg calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

The UCP de-indexed AISH and income supports to make sure that vulnerable people and people with disabilities struggled during this inflation crisis.
(They still haven't re-indexed them, despite the royalty-driven surplus.) #ableg 🧵 cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

The UCP decided that economic diversification is a "long-term luxury." 🧵 #ableg ctvnews.ca/politics/alber…
The UCP fired the election commissioner who was investigating @jkenney's leadership race. Then they blocked him from presenting to the Democratic Accountability Committee.
Now they want to get rid of the RCMP, who are also investigating them. 🙃 #ableg 🧵 cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

The UCP brought in an anti-protest bill to target their political enemies.
What happened to this during the illegal Coutts blockade that caused hundreds of millions in economic damage? 🤷🏼♂️ #ableg 🧵 globalnews.ca/news/8590300/a…

The UCP chose the start of the pandemic as the moment to launch their war on doctors. The consequences have been predictably disastrous. 🧵 #ableg calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
And, by the way, the UCP's first act during the pandemic was to lay off 20,000+ education workers.
To add to all the stress and uncertainty, 20,000 people had to worry about paying the rent and putting food on the table for their kids. Heartless. 🧵#ableg calgaryherald.com/opinion/braid-…

While they were waging war on doctors and laying off education workers, the UCP hijacked teachers' pensions and began imposing a disastrous, backward curriculum. #ableg 🧵 albertaviews.ca/the-absurd-ucp…
Who can forget "Best Summer Ever"? #ableg 🧵 nytimes.com/2021/09/24/wor…
Then there's the UCP's $82,000/day "war room", which stole a logo, attacked Bigfoot, talked up their goal of "disproving true facts", called their spin doctors "reporters" and then stole another logo. MONEY WELL SPENT. 🧵 #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Not to mention the failed anti-Albertan activities inquiry, which cost millions, missed several deadlines, and finally came back with bizarre conspiracy theories, propaganda and junk climate-denial. 🧵 #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
The UCP also lost over a billion dollars of your money on a risky bet that Trump would be re-elected. 🧵 #ableg sprawlcalgary.com/how-alberta-th…
And the UCP tried to open the Eastern Slopes to open-pit coal mining by revoking long-standing protections. They didn't even bother to consult Albertans or think about the impact of coal mining on tourism or water.
So reckless. #ableg globalnews.ca/news/7872519/a…

Don't forget that the UCP were completely united when it came to the war on doctors, laying off healthcare and education workers, opening the Rockies to coal mining, selling off parks, raising your income taxes and parks fees, etc.
It's not just Jason Kenney. #FireTheUCP #ableg
