The UCP’s mis-management of the pandemic has been guided by ideology. They have ignored evidence and experts, they have hurt people and the economy.

Passed a Bill to limit workers’ right to a safe workplace, and limit their access to compensation if they do get hurt.
Including making it harder for health care workers to claim for PTSD. During a pandemic. The UCP claim this is “balance.”

Accelerated the corporate hand out. Because apparently it’s complete failure to create even one single job, and the cuts to education and health care it forced on Albertans, were not enough to cause the UCP to re-examine their ideology over evidence approach.

The UCP defended climate change denial by their MLAs as “free speech”. At a time when we know real action on climate change is a factor in attracting international investment.

There are so very many more - but for now, these are a few things everyone should be aware of.
We should fight the UCP’s inadequate response to the pandemic, but don’t forget all the things they are trying to push through hoping we are too busy to notice.
