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#YYCtimesofasia.ca/breaking-news/…
Meet Mark Mantei. Mark claimed that Muslims are the only group that engages in extremism and violence. pressprogress.ca/another-candid…
Meet Del Shupenia. Del was dropped as a UCP Candidate for being, well, being Del Shupenia. #Ableg#Abpoli
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#Abpolipressprogress.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#Abpoliglobalnews.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#Abpolipressprogress.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
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
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#Abpolicbc.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
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
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
Indeed, the worst-rated Covid response in the country. #Ableg#Abpoli
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
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
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
