Environment Minister Sonya Savage has admitted the UCP’s $20-billion royalty giveaway is a bad idea that violates the polluter-pay principle. 🧵

#cdnpoli #ableg #ucp
On Monday, Savage was asked about a letter Danielle Smith wrote during her time as a corporate lobbyist advocating for the RStar program. In response, Savage said the program “didn’t align with Alberta’s polluter-pay principle and the royalty framework.”
“Alberta’s system has always been based on a core principle: when you make a mess, you clean it up. Danielle Smith wants to violate this basic principle to give away billions of dollars to her friends that helped get her elected.” NDP Energy Critic @KathleenGanley

An Edmonton woman’s name was added to the list of thousands of Albertans who can’t find a family doctor after she was notified she lost hers through a lottery. 🧵

#ableg #abhealth #cdnhealth #yeg
Mona Koch has had the same family doctor for eight years, but in November she received an email informing her that due to changes in her practice, Koch’s doctor would no longer be able to continue providing medical care to her.
Koch, 62, learned that because other doctors left the clinic, her doctor would be taking on some of their patients, forcing her to drop some of her own patients.

A new report shows the UCP government’s plan to withdraw Albertans from the Canada Pension Plan will cost Albertans more in the long term while increasing the risk to their retirement savings. 🧵

#ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg #yql #ymm
According to documents acquired by Postmedia from Employment and Social Development Canada, the federal government anticipates that any provincial withdrawal from the CPP will lead to “duplicate administration, limited risk pooling, and greater risk on investment returns”.
UCP leadership candidates including presumed frontrunner Danielle Smith and former finance minister Travis Toews continue to support the idea despite widespread public backlash.

Alberta’s Auditor General will not be allowed to present six performance audits of the UCP’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, after UCP MLAs voted down his request to bring his findings to a committee of the legislature.

#ableg #abpoli #abhealth #covid19ab
“After two years of deadly COVID mismanagement and secrecy, the UCP are trying to bury the findings of the Auditor General.” - NDP MLA Marlin Schmidt
Denying the Auditor’s request to present his work, and effectively banning him from testifying on his COVID-19 audits, is an unprecedented attempt to hide the truth from Albertans.

Alberta could have had 25 million more rapid tests for public distribution during the current Omicron-driven fifth wave had the UCP responded to federal procurement offers last fall. 🧵

#ableg #abhealth #covid19ab #cdnhealth
When Ottawa offered provinces a chance to purchase additional rapid tests last fall—when COVID-19 rapid-antigen tests were readily available—no additional tests were ordered for Albertans.
Saskatchewan, meanwhile, leveraged the federal offer, securing a provincial stockpile of 10 million tests before the New Year despite having a population of only one million people.

A new study by the Alberta Teachers’ Association confirms what many Albertans have been hearing anecdotally for some time - teachers are exhausted, burned out and many of them are planning to leave.
🧵

#abed #ableg
In its sixth pandemic pulse study, conducted at the end of November by ATA researcher Dr. Philip McRae, more than 37 per cent of respondents reported they probably won’t be teaching in Alberta next year.
“The results of this survey can absolutely be attributed to the UCP government’s gross mismanagement of the pandemic and its failure to ensure that Alberta schools are as safe as possible during this challenging public health crisis.” - @shoffmanAB, NDP Education Critic
