Since @jkenney does nothing these days except complain and try to distract from his record, let's give him a reminder.

Before the pandemic, his disastrous policies were already seeing Alberta shed jobs by the tens of thousands. 1/16 #ableg #abpoli https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/alberta-loses-18000-jobs-in-november-statscan

When companies began to leave or refuse to relocate in Alberta because of @jkenney's destructive policies, he demonized them instead of changing course. Brilliant strategy, Premier. 2/16 #ableg #abpoli #UCPincompetence https://thelogic.co/news/alberta-government-slams-wattpad-for-concerns-about-wexit-and-tech-tax-policy/
He cancelled all the programs that were diversifying our economy: from film to clean energy, everything got cut.
It will take years to recover from this vandalism. 3/16 #ableg #abpoli https://www.taprootedmonton.ca/news/2019/11/01/alberta-budget-a-setback-for-diversification-says-tech-entrepreneur/

. @jkenney's policies raised income taxes, property taxes, insurance costs, registry fees, and tuition fees.
He's making life more expensive for Albertans so he can pay for his massive corporate tax giveaways. 4/16 #ableg https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-budget-2019-affect-finances-1.5334400

The UCP was one of the few provincial parties to take the federal wage subsidy, a program meant to help struggling Canadians. The Alberta NDP didn't take it.
Never forget that @jkenney made Justin Trudeau his party's biggest donor. 5/16 #ableg #abpoli https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-ucp-wage-subsidy-1.5587053

The UCP fired the election commissioner who was investigating @jkenney's kamikaze scandal.
While his party did this, Jason Kenney was hiding in Texas. 6/16 #ableg #UCPcorruption https://edmontonjournal.com/opinion/columnists/keith-gerein-brazen-firing-of-investigator-shows-ucp-believes-it-is-immune-to-political-fallout

After firing the election commissioner, the UCP limited the right to protest. 7/16 #ableg #UCPcorruption https://www.sprawlcalgary.com/ucp-bill1-indigenous-peoples
They then conducted another massive assault on democracy by effectively removing the cap on donations in local elections and scrapping the requirement for candidates to disclose their donors before election day.
So much for transparency. 8/16 #ableg https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/changes-to-alberta-local-elections-bill-29-damaging-to-democracy-mayor-claims-1.5661137

The UCP is conducting a war on doctors and driving them out of the province *in the middle of a pandemic*. 9/16 #ableg #abhealth https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/opinion-ucp-governments-war-against-doctors-is-all-about-control
And @jkenney said that the disgraced Health Minister @shandro, a man who screams at doctors in their driveways, was doing a "fantastic job."
Kenney refused to sack him, despite 98% of doctors losing confidence in him as Health Minister. 10/16 #abhealth https://calgaryherald.com/news/politics/bizarre-reckless-and-frankly-intimidating-ndp-calls-on-premier-to-fire-shandro-from-health-portfolio

To save $1.14 per Albertan, the UCP is closing or de-listing 184 of our parks, as well as halting trail grooming.
"Sites for which no manager can be found will lose park status and revert to general Crown land, which can be sold."

When the pandemic struck, many governments were focused on supporting their citizens.
@jkenney? He was focused on laying off 20,000+ education assistants and support staff. 12/16 #ableg #abed https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/braid-ucp-forces-as-many-as-20000-layoffs-in-canadas-biggest-pink-slip-binge

In fact, since the moment they came to office, the UCP has been conducting a relentless campaign against public education. Here's a thread on THAT disaster. 13/16 #ableg #abed https://twitter.com/joececiyyc/status/1296580276378677248

He made cruel cuts to AISH and has been threatening to further restrict access to the program.
He makes $16,000/month, but he thinks people who make $1,600 should get by on less. 15/16 #ableg https://calgaryherald.com/news/politics/why-kick-a-person-when-theyre-already-down-ucp-eyes-potential-cuts-to-aish-program

This is just a sample of @jkenney's disastrous record. Feel free to add more UCP failures in the comments.
