Now that post was very quickly deleted and this was posted after.
Which is, in all honesty, a pretty bold choice.

And then this morning, that post was deleted and this was posted in it's place...

But here's where it get's even more wild.
The person who wrote the first 2 posts is allegedly the director of communications & membership for that CA.
And she's also an organizer for Take Back Alberta according to their telegram group.
(We did a bit on that a while back)
/4
But apparently in that telegram group, Bonnie also gives big props to the facebook group "Holding MLA's Accountable".
They're...
Fun.
/5
But here's where it gets even more...
Berta.
Because if you take a look at the admin list of "Holding MLA's accountable" (which is publicly available BTW) from just recently, Bonnie is an admin there.
But so are...
Some other folks apparently.
So...
There's that?
/6
Again, this information was publicly available utilizing the facebook transparency feature that exists in any facebook page or group.
But it's certainly an interesting look into who is running the show behind the scenes...

This Tylenot™️, UCP Travel, Vanche Masks, Ministers, Invest Alberta, Chiefs of Staff and staffers travel thing is so so much worse than we’re prepared to handle at our little pod.
Like, this is so unbelievably corrupt and bad.

This is well beyond our capabilities as a webseries.
Today has been absolutely off the hook.
We want to thank everyone who has reached out to us with tips (please keep them coming!)
But we know our limitations, and as always, we’re not journalists.
/2
With that in mind, we’re handing off what we have, and what receive in the future in regards to this story to those who have the actual chops and resources to see this thing through.
(It’s so bad)
We’re assured that they’ll be chasing this absolute dumpster fire down.

Today Smith claimed that conservatives have been the targets of dangerous rhetoric and that she’s never engaged in that sort of thing…
So yeah, thread…

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
As Smith tries to make the argument that dangerous rhetoric pushes people to action and she would never ever engage in that kind of language…
Let’s turn back the clock just a few months ago.
To Tucker fest.
Course, there’s also the point in time where she claimed that Justin Trudeau was “coming for your speech”, completely misrepresenting the actual situation before saying it was “dangerous to Canadian democracy”
We don’t know most of the actual journalists who cover Alberta politics, but we’re sure they’re really, really nice.
We have a Prime Minister and a premier (god help us), not a president or a governor.

We have two official languages, and we have a few folks on the team who can speak both!
And you can say it “About” or “aboot” because we believe in tolerance!

Despite the efforts of extremists, the Canadian flag is not something to be embarrassed of!
We believe that policing has A LOT of work to do to build trust with people, we believe in DIVERSITY and that trans kids (all kids, to be clear) deserve to be safe from bigotry!

A short thread on Billy Makis, the “keynote” member of the all star “cast” of the UCP’s anti-vax festival…
/1
Makis posted this to his own social media, where he claims to be a physician based in Edmonton and provides his registration number in response to an inquiry by CBC.
/2
Except, when you go to the College of physicians and Surgeons and look him up, he’s inactive.
Unifor local 4001 has come out condemning Nenshi’s 2019 letter to the UCP.
“Independent” of any campaign tho… right?
Cause that would be kinda…
Questionable, right?
Thread!
/1
#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
So the president of local 4001 is Ricky Brar. We double checked the unifor website and everything!
/2
Now of course, any reasonable person would probably assume that there would be no connection to any campaign, cause that would probably look bad for both Unifor and that campaign, right?
So about that "Contrarian" doc heading up Danielle Smith's other $2 million dollar COVID panel...
(Not the Preston Manning one)
The potential conflict goes a LOT deeper than just...
"He's contrarian"
Thread!

The good doctor got himself into hot water in the early days of COVID when he made some blatantly false claims at an event caught on video that the govt was timing "lockdowns" (we never had lockdowns) for they knew admissions were dropping to make it looked like they worked.
/2
The thing is...
AHS stepped up with data proving his allegations were completely fake and he was also condemned by the college of Physicians and Surgeons.
