FOIP Preview!

Ok, remember when Smith's office claimed to the globe & mail that her Skybox Sojourn to Vancouver was on personal time and all people paid their own way?

We've already demonstrated that was a lie, but it turns out it was a bigger lie!

As we've already demonstrated, the statement about the staff paying their own way was a lie.

The statement was issued on May 13.

The request to have Becca Polak and Marshall SMith pay didn't come until May 15.

In fact, in our recent FOIP, it's clear that the official planning for this trip went all the way back to May 3, and it's also clear that government resources were used to plan and execute the trip.

Well damn.

Let’s start this absolute train wreck of a thread by saying that a government should be responsible about who it chooses to elevate to justify their policies.

Public scrutiny is an inevitable effect from public exposure.

It is exploitive to put forward individuals and use their stories of trauma and abuse as shields when advancing polices that will cause trauma and are, by many interpretations abusive.

This didn’t have to happen this way.

But Danielle Smith has set her stage.

/2
The first speaker in Smiths presser today was Kellie-Lynn Pirie.

Her story is absolutely tragic.

But she should have never been on that stage, and it was irresponsible for Smith to put her there.

She literally denies science.

In the past 12 hours, @LukaszukAB has posted two emails sent out from 2 Islamic schools in #YEG.

Strap in!

(This thread is gonna get wild because it does have direct connections to the Skybox scandal by the way)

One of the posts is from the Al Mustafa Acadamy.

Their secretary treasurer appeared with Demetrios Nicolaides on April 26th of this year endorsing the new UCP curriculum.

That secretary Treasurer is also the Vice President and COO of an organization called Hasco Development Corporation.

Hasco Development bought the site for the Al Mustafa School in 2010 from the Catholic School District.

The president and founder of Hasco is also the founder and board chair of Al Mustafa.

His name is Syed Hasan.

The official UCP policy proposals that membership will be voting on are out!

And yes!

They're exactly as bad as you might think!

Let's get started with a Mega thread of "Wait, what?!?'

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

First up we have in True MAGA fashion the banning of all Diversity, Equity and Inclusion principles in hiring for any public body!

So if a white man has a more extensive academic history, he could be the person to address the experiences of women and girls in residential schools!

Fun!

/2Image
Doesn't take very long to get to the anti-trans bigory though!

Policy #3 wants to ensure that gender is assigned at conception and that you're only allowed into the spaces that fit that!

From the DM’s…

Danielle Smith has brought Jennifer “poop cookies” Johnson into the UCP caucus.

But that’s not the only thing that Smith has validated.

It’s also apparently conspiracy theories about cat litter, abortion & the belief there should be NO sex Ed in schools.

The entire audio was recently made available to us.

We have not edited it in any way from what was sent to us.

It may also be worth highlighting that former TBA organizer Zane Novak can be heard speaking throughout the entire 1:11:06 file.

/2
In other segments of the audio, Johnson advocates for increased home school funding and claims that well in advance of the election she had a long standing relationship with Smith and prior to the scandal was tasked by Smith to look at education funding.

New episode & new FOIP!

We continue to unpack Smith's Skybox Scandal, and it keeps getting worse!

Back in July, the Globe & Mail referenced a statement from Smith's office saying the trip was personal, on personal time & everyone paid their own way...

/1


#abpoli #cdnpoli Image
We filed a FOIP wanting to confirm that.

Especially given that accepting the tickets for Smith's staffers Rebecca Polak and Marshall Smith seemed to be a clear violation of ethics rules.

/2 Image
And boy did we get a response!

Not only were the rooms for Becca and Marshall booked by the government, they were initially paid for by the government using taxpayer dollars!
