Actions speak louder than words and the UCP's actions are telling us that they just don't give a fuck.

& you know what? I give a lot of fucks. I give so many fucks that I am here on Twitter, demanding that Jason Kenney - with his 26.5% approval rating

1/16
during a society-altering worldwide health crisis - call an election right the fuck now. Jason, if you truly believe that you are the best person to lead us right now, you wouldn't be so fearful of doing this.

2/16
You cannot even hide behind the pandemic bc other jurisdictions all over the world have had successful elections during COVID-19.

It's because you know with absolute fucking certainty now that you would lose to Rachel at this point, isn't it?

3/16
And you hate that, don't you, Jason? You thought that Alberta would be "easy". That you could come here and just coast through years of premiership because of what you represent - the good old days of high oil prices, wealth, tax breaks for the rich for ✌🏻'job creation'✌🏻.

4/16
Well, here's your fucking wake up call, Jason - we've changed. What you don't realize is that Rachel Notley interrupted y'all's conservative dynasty in 2015 and you can't erase the past. We lived it. We had it for four years.

5/16
Milennials and Gen X are fed up this same old shit that has got our voices falling between the cracks. After 44 years, we had caught what now feels like too fleeting a glimpse of what it feels like when a government cares about its people over its profits.

6/16
When you were elected in 2019, I cried. Because I knew then what we all really know now and that is you don't care about us. Or our voices if they don't reflect yours. This much has been made very clear.

7/16
There are actual people behind these social media accounts y'all are blocking, Jason. There are stories behind every comment that you delete. There are healthcare workers, frontline workers in retail and food services, small business owners, AISH recipients,

8/16
students, teachers, university professors psychologists, psychologists, economic policy professionals, members of marginalized communities, the homeless community, the formerly conservative voters who now regret ever marking your name on their ballot almost two years ago.

9/16
There are more groups of people throughout every corner of Alberta who want you gone than there are people who support you.

And WE ARE ALBERTA.

Listen to us.

This is not want democracy looks like, Jason.

10/16
If you don't want to hear what we have to say, if you can't look at us as people but instead remove our humanity and dismiss us as "social media foot soldiers", if you're scared of the results of a democratically run election, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you:

11/16
you may very well be remembered as Alberta's First Autocrat. The first government to unabashedly not give a fuck about what their own citizens want.

Are you ready for that legacy, Jason? That's where you are headed right now.

12/16
It's time for you to show us who you are behind all the feigned bravado and snake oil. I may not personally believe in your God, Jason, but I was told about Him as a child stuck in Sunday School.

13/16
He seemed like a pretty cool guy from what they told me and I am absolutely fucking certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that the God as described in the book you follow would be deeply ashamed of you right now.
