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
Remember the entitled white linen patio party at the Sky Palace during Covid restrictions & all the disingenuous denials afterwards? We all saw with our eyes what had happened. Now is the time for Jason Nixon, Shandro, & the UCP to be judged. #ableg#Abpoli
Remember the performative disaster that was the "Best Summer Ever" when daily COVID-19 case counts were spiking and deaths and hospitalizations were on the rise? Tyler Shandro was the Health Minister. #Ableg#Abpoli
Remember finding out later that the UCP cabinet was making health decisions based on ideology not health care professionals and how that violated the Public Health Act? This alone should be immediately disqualifying. #Ableg#Abpolicbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
Remember the utter embarrassment of the disingenuous UCP Pride Breakfast & the performative raising and then almost immediate lowering of the Pride Flag at the Legislature? Now is the time to be judged. #Ableg#Abpoli
Remember when all of a sudden the UCP started talking about a Provincial Police Force. This was not in the UCP platform. Is it now? Who knows? Smith won’t even talk about it. Now is the time to judge. #Ableg#Abpoli
Remember the performative waste of time and money that was the election of "Senator" Barootes? How is that going anyway? The UCP were often more concerned with ideological games than governing. #Ableg#Abpoli
Remember the $1.3 Billion of taxpayer money wasted on a pipeline to nowhere? Well, we did get a couple of photo-ops out of it to be fair. #Ableg#Abpoli
Oh, and the UCP are the good fiscal managers right? #Ableg#Abpoli
There is so much more. More to come. The UCP are pretending that they have not been in power the last 4 years but they only changed their leader. The gang is all still there and the song remains the same. #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 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…
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
