The Act says Members MUST NOT participate in decisions that MAY benefit themselves, their partners, their associates, or their children.

UCP Environment & Protected Area Minister @rebeccakschulz is pretending there’s no conflict of interest as her husband is lobbying to change environmental laws and regulations.
Let’s look at 5 policies he’s looking to change and YOU decide if there’s a conflict….
1. Cole is lobbying to “cut administrative burdens” in Alberta’s “TEIR carbon pricing strategy” in order to help maximize O&G profits.
TIER (Regulation 133/2019) falls DIRECTLY under Rebecca’s portfolio as our Environmental and Protected Areas Minister

Danielle Smith broke a MAJOR promise announcing her intent to steal from the CPP and illegally create an APP.
This is part of her “Free Alberta Strategy”; a document focused on ushering in Alberta separation.
Let’s look at what her dangerous plan entails:
#Abpoli 1. The Alberta Sovereignty Act
This act attempted to illegally circumvent the Canadian Constitution by claiming Danielle had more power than the federal gov’t on taxation, pipeline approvals and environmental laws.
Danielle was forced to water this her original act.
2. Tyler Shandro used his MLA e-mail to THREATEN an Albertan after she messaged Shandro’s wife’s company, Vital Partners, concerning a perceived conflict of interest
Shandro threatened to use his powers to have her arrested!
1. The UCP DEFUNDED early intervention programs for children in need by $128,000,000
This resulted in:
- #YEG public schools closing 76% of early learning programs
- 68% cut for language programs
- Criteria changes to make it harder for parents to access key funds
1. In February 2020, UCP MLA Tyler Shandro met with Alberta physicians concerned with UCP health policies
When Shandro was given a copy of a new contract the province proposed for physicians, he tore the contract in half in front of physicians and other attendees
As @UCPCaucus “pray for rain” let’s look at what @drloewen and his UCP MLA’s did to help:
1. The UCP DECIMATED funding for Alberta's wildfire prevention and response programs by $15,000,000, reducing the total budget for the province's wildfire management programs
2. The budget cuts resulted in the CLOSURE of Alberta's wildfire training center
This provided CRITICAL training to wildfire crews and helped ensure Alberta firefighters were equipped with the skills and knowledge they needed to combat wildfires effectively
1. Shandro ILLEGALLY accessed confidential health care info to obtain phone numbers for doctors who publicly disagreed with Shandro
Shandro called and harassed MULTIPLE physicians at 9pm
He NEVER apologized or faced discipline 1/4 #Ableg Shandrogate
2. Tyler Shandro used his MLA e-mail to THREATEN an Albertan after she messaged Shandro’s wife’s company, Vital Partners, concerning a perceived conflict of interest
Shandro threatened to use his powers to have her arrested!
Tyler Shandro replaced @KayceeMaduYEG as Alberta’s Solicitor General AFTER Madu was guilty of attempting to politically interfere with the police
Who replaces Shandro when he is found guilty of 3-major conduct violations with the Alberta law society this week? #Abpoli
An #Ableg reminder of Shandro’s 3 charges
1. Shandro illegally accessed confidential health care information to obtain phone numbers for doctors who publicly disagreed with Shandro.
Shandro called and harassed physicians at 9pm at night.
1. 😬 Alberta’s Auditor General is asking the UCP to account for over $657,000,000 in Covid funding!
The UCP’s “Small & Medium Enterprise Relaunch Grant program ONLY put 1,055 of 101,762 (1%)
approved applicants through a post-payment verification process!
A former AHS board member called out Danielle Smith in a SCATHING letter!
He called out her messaging as “dangerous rhetoric that endangers lives” and that she’s a “pretend-leader of Albertans” representing “the bleakest of role models for women.”
1. Since Smith said “no” to masks in schools; over 75% of #YEG 213 schools hit an illness absenteeism rate triggering AHS to investigate infectious disease outbreaks.
Over 160 schools had 10% of students out of class; over 20,000 Edmonton students were absent!
