In the past 12 hours, @LukaszukAB has posted two emails sent out from 2 Islamic schools in #YEG.

Strap in!

(This thread is gonna get wild because it does have direct connections to the Skybox scandal by the way)

One of the posts is from the Al Mustafa Acadamy.

Their secretary treasurer appeared with Demetrios Nicolaides on April 26th of this year endorsing the new UCP curriculum.

That secretary Treasurer is also the Vice President and COO of an organization called Hasco Development Corporation.

/2Image
Image
Image
Hasco Development bought the site for the Al Mustafa School in 2010 from the Catholic School District.

The president and founder of Hasco is also the founder and board chair of Al Mustafa.

His name is Syed Hasan.

/3 Image
Hasco isn't done with the site though.

They have ambitions, big ones.

In fact, they want to flip the entire vacant school field to high density condos and are currently petitioning for a re-zoning.

/4 Image
Anyways, here's Syed at a recent UCP Town Hall event at Al Mustafa Academy.

Got to sit beside her, go onstage and everything!

/5 Image
Image
Back to the COO though.

His name is Advil Hasan.

He recently hosted Danielle Smith at that same leadership town hall event.

And he legit hosted it. He's the dude on stage.

So it's safe to say that there's interests here.

/6 Image
Image
The second school is the Edmonton Islamic Academy.

It didn't take our scrappy little team of upstarts to find this video.

Note the thanks on the description.

/7 Image
It seems that the Mraiche Family loaned the Edmonton Islamic Academy their Bentley for the opening sequence!

So it's safe to assume some connections...

Why is the Mraiche name Familiar?

By now, there should be a bunch of reasons!

Let's start with the obvious ones...

/8 Image
Sam Mraiche runs MHCare.

You know, the company that has been identified as importing the masks that have healthcare workers skin irritation and were identified at the start of the pandemic?

So much so docs wrote an open letter to Shandy?

/9 Image
Image
Sam Mraiche gained additional notoriety as the importer of the Turkish Tylenot that saw Albertan's pay upwards of $100,000,000 for off brand childrens meds that put newborns at risk and which Alberta only distributed 13,700 bottles despite paying up front.

/10 Image
Most recently, Sam Mraiche was famous for hosting MLA's, Ministers and Staffers in his Skybox during playoffs.

Oh, and travelling to Vancouver to hang out in Sam Jabber's Vancouver Skybox with Smith and staff, which Smith and Co have gone to great lengths to cover up.

/11 Image
Hey, does The Edmonton Islamic Academy have any any plans for schools in the future that might be able to access the funds that Smith recently announced?

According to their letter and their website, they sure do!

/12 Image
Image
Image
And yes, that school does plan on (appropriately) having a prayer hall.

This means that the if the Edmonton Islamic School does take part in the Smith's new infrastructure plan, the province would indeed own private places of worship.

/13 Image
So to wrap all of this up...

The two Muslim schools that are pushing parents to attend the UCP to support Smith have significant prior relationships with Smith. They have some deeply problematic connections to business deals that have cost Albertans a LOT of taxpayer money.

/14
In some capacity, both schools have business relationships that are both complex and problematic.

And someone appears to be offering to pay for a HUGE number of memberships, tickets to the AGM and transportation.

/15
How this is not a violation of multiple finance laws is certainly up for debate.

But this appears to be yet another chapter in the influence peddling that Danielle Smith has allowed to infiltrate the UCP and the Alberta Government.

/16
Postscript - The COO of Hasco and The Secretary Treasurer of Al Mustafa is ADIL HASAN.

Our apologies we missed the autocorrect to "Advil".

Can't edit threads.

Our bad there.

Long (and likely triggering for self harm/suicide) thread…

Earlier today we were provided a copy of the suicide note left by someone who had spent a lifetime struggling with mental health & physical disabilities.

We will not be sharing it.

We would like to explain why.

/1
To start with, it is irresponsible and harmful to speak in any way about Disabled Albertans as a monolithic and homogeneous group.

Every Disabled Albertan is unique and faces unique obstacles and challenges.

/2
While there is for sure all kinds of overlap of experiences, particularly when navigating a system that is increasingly not supportive but rather adversarial, each person is unique.

Fun fact...

One of the UCP's appointees to the Electoral Boundaries Commission submitted to the original commission with his recommendations.

Darwin Durnie.

He was...

Very invested in the process.

So much so, he actually did up his own report.

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image
Remember how Dani and Mickey were talking about a whole spoke and wheel approach.

Darwin nailed that in his Calgary map.

Big time.

/2 Image
Here's the Minority report map by way of reminder...

Darwin's map has more straight lines, but there's some striking similarities...

Most notably the reach of both maps into rural, which is what has had many experts rising the alarm on gerrymandering.

This is important.

Yesterday saw the UCP roll out this new order in council.

There's three things this order attempts to define.

1) What counts as a political party during a referendum
2) Who can appoint scrutineers
3) How quickly do we get results

/1 Image
The Order appears to lock down who gets to be considered a political party during a referendum.

If you don't have at least 4 seats in the legislature and your party didn't get at least 5% of the vote, you are not considered a party during a referendum.

/2 Image
This is further underscored by this section.

Because where do you find the requirements of what counts as a political party?

The EFCDA.

New separatism poll!

Angus Reid has released part 1 of a three parter, and there’s a lot to unpack, but it’s the next two tweets in the thread you REALLY want to read!

These are the most compelling arguments for staying in Canada that resonate with Albertans.

This is what everyone should be using to talk to their friends and family.

/2 Image
These are the arguments that resonate with the “leave” group.

Understanding these issues is key to being able to have conversations and address concerns effectively.

New Leger poll!

And it turns out the biggest loser in the teachers strike is the UCP!

Let’s take a look!

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image
To start with, how closely were Albertans paying attention to the strike?

A whopping 74%!

That’s a lot of Albertan eyeballs and ear… balls?

/2 Image
And what are the takeaways?

47% of Albertans opposed the government tabling legislation to force teachers back to work, of that 35% strongly opposed it.

Only 20% strongly supported this move by the UCP.

Today on "Danielle Smith lies a lot and very, very easily about unimportant details just to make a story sound better..."

Earlier today she tweeted out this picture, claiming that it was from the opening of a new recovery community...

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image
It seems weird that you would have a crowd that big for a recovery community opening...

Especially when it appears to be in downtown Calgary.

Where they haven't opened any recovery communities.

But that's where this note gets to be important.

/2 Image
Because it turns out that "Cameron" was a performer at a street festival held for "Recovery Day", who is kinda big deal in the country music community, having just been nominated for 6 awards at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards and winning 2.
