And now the 🧵 of 🧵s (Mega 🧵Parts 1-5). If you can make it through all of these threads and still vote UCP, I don't know what to say. Go out and vote like the future of Alberta is dependent on it because indeed it is. #Ableg#Abpoli#VoteNDP#FiretheUCP
Mega 🧵Part 5: This thread serves as a reminder of some of the opportunistic ideologues that aligned themselves under the UCP banner & their disastrous, often embarrassing actions over the past 4 years. Many of these dud MLAs are seeking re-election. #Ableg#Abpoli 1/x
This is Devin “Shields Up” Dreeshen. This spoiled privileged brat treated the Legislature like a frat party ultimately resigning his cabinet post after allegations of harassment & drunken binges. Reinstated by Smith as she though he was ministerial material. #Ableg#Abpoli
BTW did he get away with travelling during Covid restrictions? Did the Kenney and the UCP cover for him while others took the fall? Doesn't look like St. Barts to me at all. #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 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
