"Dangerous" Danielle Smith. A history of her bad takes, and how her bad judgement will hurt Alberta.

Thread: A bad budget from a bad government.

Alberta’s 22-23 budget is a master class of deception & gaslighting. It pretends to have a lot of good news, but page after page signals hardship for the province.

#alberta #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg #edmonton #calgary #yql 2. The UCP are claiming this is a good news budget because it forecasts a small surplus for the coming fiscal year. The surplus is 100% based on high gas & oil prices, which are not in the control of any government.

#CUPE Alberta President Rory Gill addresses convention. Watch this feed for highlights. #ableg #ablabour #abpoli Gill: The theme of this year’s virtual convention is ‘Resilience, Solidarity and Power’ and I think that’s very appropriate. Now in #CUPE we always strive for clear language so when I hear those words I think “Never stop fighting, stick together, and win.” #abpoli #ablabour

1. SHORT THREAD

A lot of effort is being made to downplay recent #Alberta political polling.

It's important to look at a range of polls. Recent big leads for the NDP are not an isolated event.

#ableg #abpoli Image 2) The NDP lead is higher in polls with larger samples.

Few pollsters are prompting for Wildrose Independence Party, even though they are no doubt gaining traction.

1. Be VERY clear, Jason Kenney is lying through his teeth about this.

Withdrawing from the Canada Pension Plan would cost Alberta $133 Billion.

#ableg #abpoli #alberta #calgary #edmonton #yyc #yeg #yql 2. That’s TRIPLE the current provincial debt. Alberta would go from having the lowest debt to among the highest.

Why so much? Because doing so requires approval of 2/3 of the provinces. #ableg #abpoli #alberta #calgary #edmonton #yyc #yeg #yql

THREAD.

In a recent tweet, Jason Kenney claims he is not cutting education funding. This thread is to quantify each school district's cuts, in real dollars, as they face increased enrollment.
