This is UCP MLA Garth Rowswell denying climate change in #ableg this afternoon.
It's 2020. The science on climate change is settled. This hurts Alberta's economy and our international reputation.
I call on @jkenney to immediately disavow these comments. #ableg
If you need motivation to distance, wear a mask, wash your hands, or stay home if you’re sick, remember who you are protecting. Think of loved ones who are older or at high risk of #COVID19AB. We are each other’s best defense – today, tomorrow & in the weeks & months ahead.
We don't do this lightly. But we are joining the voices calling for Minister Shandro to be removed from cabinet. Misjudgment and intimidation is the opposite of the measured leadership Alberta requires from its Health Minister during a pandemic. #abpoli https://t.co/Cq8vQwK6zo
It is unfathomable that @jkenney would keep @shandro in his role, given what has occurred. This Minister has become a giant distraction during a public health crisis. The Premier should reconsider this terrible decision immediately #ableg#abhealth
THREAD: Let's be clear on what happened. A Minister of the Crown went to the home of a doctor to yell, scream, insult, berate, and intimidate him. A private citizen. In front of his wife… his children… and his neighbours.
This is unacceptable. #ableg
This is an outright reversal of what they committed to last week. Albertans need their government to keep their promises and provide paid leave now. #ableg#COVID19AB
Last week, @jkenney stated Albertans would have access to 14 days PAID sick leave if they can’t work because of COVID-19. Turns out, he has no plan for it to be paid other than lobbying the feds (& then blame them, of course, if unsuccessful). That’s the govt’s plan. #ableg
I asked Premier @jkenney about paying teachers, custodians, bus drivers, educational assistants etc.... during this pandemic and he sat on his phone chatting with @JasonNixonAB
Premier Kenney has asked the Official Opposition to pass his budget now. We cannot — and will not — do that. The UCP budget that creates chaos in our health care system at the time we can least afford it, given the global coronavirus pandemic.

PUF is getting hit hard with funding cuts, and the eligibility criteria is being narrowed so that kids who should be eligible will not have access. 😢

1. My daughter & 30+ UofC students travelled to Edmonton yesterday to go to an agreed meeting with Calgary Bow MLA @demetriosnAB#UCP#AbLeg this morning who was a No Show! This was to discuss #Bill21 . He is the Minister of Advanced Education. This was very disrespectful.
Says the professional politician and lobbyist who thinks cutting AISH for severely disabled Albertans isn’t “onerous” for them. #ableg#outoftouch
Kenney: Opposition, unions treating budget cuts like ‘the apocalypse’ – Edmonton Journal https://t.co/5FCLuyo2ox
To Albertans who are angry, let this sink in: if we had voted @albertaNDP our deficit would be $2B less, no cuts to education, healthcare, no job losses in the public sector & economy would be diversifying.
