Mega Thread Part 2: The quality of candidates that the UCP attract has always been suspect. Here is a trip down memory lane of some of the more heinous UCP candidates including racists, Nazis, and bigots (of various forms). #Ableg #Abpoli
Meet Myles Mcdougall. Myles stated that Black People Don’t Want Education And Live in “Ghetto Culture”. Myles is the current candidate for Calgary-Fish Creek. #Ableg #Abpoli #YYC timesofasia.ca/breaking-news/… Image
Meet Mark Mantei. Mark claimed that Muslims are the only group that engages in extremism and violence. pressprogress.ca/another-candid… Image
Meet Todd Beasley. Todd was dropped as the candidate for Brooks-Medicine Hat after calling Islam an "evil cult". #Ableg #Abpoli calgaryherald.com/news/politics/… Image
Meet Del Shupenia. Del was dropped as a UCP Candidate for being, well, being Del Shupenia. #Ableg #Abpoli Image
Meet Philip Shuman. Philip was dropped as the UCP Candidate in Calgary-Glenmore when it was revealed that he shared Nazi memes and anti-Isreal conent on an Alt-Right Instagram account. #Ableg #Abpoli pressprogress.ca/alberta-ucp-no…
More recently UCP Candidate Jennifer Johnson compared a small number of transgender students in the school system to mixing a teaspoon of feces into food. She remains a candidate in the current election but not a UCP Candidate (for now). #Ableg #Abpoli globalnews.ca/news/9708932/u…
Many other candidates with vile views can be found in this summary produced by Press Progress. Unfortunately, many of those named are current UCP candidates and/or were elected MLAs. #Ableg #Abpoli pressprogress.ca/meet-30-candid…
The question this all brings up is if the UCP isn't racist and bigoted, why does it attract racists and bigots? Why is it #1 with racists and bigots? This election, choose wisely Alberta. #Ableg #Abpoli Image
I should note that Myles appears to have gotten a pass as all the focus seemed to be placed on Jennifer Johnson and took the heat off of him. He must have been thankful that there was someone even grosser than him as a UCP candidate. #Ableg #Abpoli

Mega 🧵Part 4: This thread serves as a reminder of just some of the reasons as to why racialized Albertans should consider not voting for the UCP this election. #Ableg #Abpoli 1/x Image
Remember when during the height of Covid Kenney went on radio to blame the South Asian Community in Calgary for spreading Covid? #YYC #Ableg #Abpoli calgary.ctvnews.ca/calgary-s-sout…
Remember the lack of supports after the devastating hail storm in Calgary in 2020 and how systematic racism was blamed for these lack of supports? #YYC #Ableg #Abpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Mega 🧵Part 3: This thread serves as a reminder of some of the flubs, missteps, & gaffs that characterized the “Rehn of Error” of the last 4 years under UCP rule. Many of these same duds are still around & running again under the UCP banner. #Ableg #Abpoli 1/x Image
Remember during the height of the pandemic with health restrictions in place that a number of entitled UCP MLAs ignored those restrictions and travelled anyway while you dutifully missed your holiday with loved ones? #Ableg #Abpoli ImageImage
Remember designated apologizer Rick McIver begging for forgiveness and saying that it is up to the people of Alberta to judge? Well, people of Alberta, now is the time. Fir, Stephen, & Jeremy Nixon are all running again. Time for them and the UCP to be judged. #Ableg #Abpoli

Mega 🧵 Part 1: The UCP have been in power the past 4 years. A reminder of the disaster that has been the past 4 years. 1st & foremost, their handling of Covid, the worst-rated response in the country, should be immediately disqualifying. #Ableg #Abpoli 1/x Image
Indeed, the worst-rated Covid response in the country. #Ableg #Abpoli Image
Remember when the UCP lied about rescinding the coal policy and only backtracked after a massive groundswell of opposition? Those coal projects are still on the books. #Ableg #Abpoli Image

UCP MLA's Peter Guthrie on the RVS. Link below to detailed article concerning the compalints from the RVS. I think we all know who is lying here and it's not the RVS. Choose wisely Airdrie-Cochrane. Vote ABNDP. 1/2 #Abpoli #Ableg #Abed Image

For all you international journalists out there, here's the Premier of Alberta hanging out with the MAGA hat wearing, twenty-something "journalist" that harassed teenaged Greta Thunberg in a hotel yesterday #Elxn43 #Climatestrike #fridaysforfuture #GretaThunberg #Cdnpoli #Canpoli
Here's the same "journalist" who harassed Greta Thunberg in a hotel hallway yesterday when he was invited to cover the election night victory for Jason Kenney and the UCP in Alberta. #Cdnpoli #GretaThunberg #Fridaysforfuture #Cdnpoli #elxn43
Lots of examples out there of the Albertan "journalist" who harassed Greta Thunberg in a hallway in Alberta harassing young females in a similar manner. #GretaThunberg #FridaysForFuture #Ableg

Thread: Noticed a pattern in the recent spate of parachuted Conservative candidates for the upcoming Federal Election. It seems that they all share strong pro-life views. Just a coincidence? Decide for yourself. #Ableg #Cdnpoli #Canpoli #Onpoli #BCpoli #Mbpoli #Saskpoli 1/5
George Canyon – Parachuted to Central Nova Scotia. Strong Religious background. Has performed at many churches and pro-life events. 2/5 #Cdnpoli #Canpoli
