"Dangerous" Danielle Smith. A history of her bad takes, and how her bad judgement will hurt Alberta.
🧵

#AbLeg #abpoli #yyc #calgary #edmonton #alberta #yeg #yql #reddeer
After running on a platform of opposing the Alberta PC dynasty, she and seven other MLAs crossed the floor to join the party she had ferociously opposed for years before. What else did she lie to voters about?

The jist of this terrible column? "Dangerous" Danielle Smith used her platform to argue that light cigarette usage can be good for you, and we need to put our energy into making cigarettes healthier.

School kids don't need computers? Yes, they do. And they certainly did when this terrible article was written by "Dangerous" Danielle Smith. Thank god nobody listed to her then.

Defund public schools? "Dangerous" Danielle's idea to drain funding from schools will create a poorly educated province. Doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, investors and scientists will move to other provinces.

When the pandemic hit, Dangerous Danielle Smith promoted treatments and alternatives from all the dark corners of the web. From bleach to horse de-wormer, she flogged them all.

Dangerous Danielle Smith believes people being denied entrance to a restaurant because of a vaccine choice suffer worse than Indigenous children being taken from families and sent to schools where they were abused.

Nearly all Albertans were horrified when Russia invaded Ukraine. Not Dangerous Danielle Smith. She seems to think Ukraine deserved it, and even spread lies about Ukraine having nuclear weapons (they don't).

Medical issues might be where Danielle Smith is most dangerous. She confidently stated that until stage four, cancer could be beaten if the patient made the right choices.

Dangerous Danielle Smith refuses to call an election in Calgary Elbow because she is afraid she will lose.

Something she once opposed when she thought the PCs were doing it (before she crossed the floor to join them).

1. THREAD

CUPE Alberta President Rory Gill @RoryGillAB is speaking today to the annual CUPE AB convention. This thread will capture his comments in real time. #alberta #ableg #abpoli #canlab
@RoryGillAB 2. No matter what challenge the last two years have thrown at our members they overcome and so has our union. The proudest statement that I can make is that I am CUPE member.
3. At our last convention, I and many of you, believed that the vaccines that were beginning to be rolled out would provide an end to the pandemic and the public health protections.

Thread: A bad budget from a bad government.

Alberta’s 22-23 budget is a master class of deception & gaslighting. It pretends to have a lot of good news, but page after page signals hardship for the province.

#alberta #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg #edmonton #calgary #yql
2. The UCP are claiming this is a good news budget because it forecasts a small surplus for the coming fiscal year. The surplus is 100% based on high gas & oil prices, which are not in the control of any government.
#alberta #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg #edmonton #calgary #yql
3. ECONOMY
A balanced budget does not equal a healthy economy. Alberta has a 9% unemployment rate. Calgary has the highest unemployment rate among major cities.

#CUPE Alberta President Rory Gill addresses convention. Watch this feed for highlights. #ableg #ablabour #abpoli
Gill: The theme of this year’s virtual convention is ‘Resilience, Solidarity and Power’ and I think that’s very appropriate. Now in #CUPE we always strive for clear language so when I hear those words I think “Never stop fighting, stick together, and win.” #abpoli #ablabour
Gill: The more adversity we’ve faced, the stronger we’ve become, together and it's together that we will keep getting stronger and overcome the challenges of these times, no matter how daunting and tough they may be. #CUPE

1. SHORT THREAD

A lot of effort is being made to downplay recent #Alberta political polling.

It's important to look at a range of polls. Recent big leads for the NDP are not an isolated event.

#ableg #abpoli Image
2) The NDP lead is higher in polls with larger samples.

Few pollsters are prompting for Wildrose Independence Party, even though they are no doubt gaining traction.

#ableg #abpoli Image
3) The NDP lead continues even with distance from "travel gate" and even as the UCP vaccination effort picks up steam.
