🧵37.5% increase in corporate tax, UCP? This is the hill you want to die on? Let's see.

8% of $1,000 is $80
37.5% of $80 is $30 extra for every $1,000

Meanwhile, corporations have been raking in huge profits.

Yeah, corporations will be fine. (1/)
#ableg #abpoli #FiretheUCP The UCP wants you to think businesses will end up paying some sort of exorbitant amount, so they use a bigger percentage number because that suits their interests.

But if you break down the math and you look at it logically, it's not all that bad. (2/)

🧵Here's how @jasonluan88 is lying to his constituents: He goes to bat saying that a K-9 school in Nolan Hill was approved. Okay, cool. But he never specified CCSD or CBE. Because students attend both divisions. ⬇️ (1/)
#ableg #abpoli #FiretheUCP Image Now, Jason was right that a school did get fully funded in Nolan Hill. But Jason wasn't clear as to whether the school would be a CCSD school or a CBE school. So I did a simple Google search and found this ⬇️. This matters because there are parents that send kids to CBE too. (2/) Image

🧵Put yourself in the position of someone who was forced to evacuate yesterday. Your life was just turned upside down, you're sitting in the passenger seat of your car, and you check social media. (1/8)
#ableg #abpoli #FiretheUCP You figure, you're driving to an evacuation center, might as well let people know you're okay while you're on your way. First thing you see though is Dani on the podium at a Calgary UCP fundraiser. Then you scroll further to see the buffet and UCP branded ice sculpture. (2/8)
