We are calling on Jason Kenney to reverse his decision to take federal relief money, abandon his hypocrisy, and pay back hard hit Canadian taxpayers after we& #39;ve all learned the UCP is applying for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy. #ableg #cdnpoli THREAD
It& #39;s more than a little rich for Jason Kenney to apply for fed relief to avoid laying off his own party staff while at the same time laying off tens of thousands of public-sector workers during the pandemic.

It& #39;s not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.

The UCP government continues to refuse to fund paid sick leave, offer financial support to Alberta& #39;s small businesses and relief to everyday Albertans.

As the Premier warns of a fiscal reckoning publicly, we have come to learn he’s privately made an application to Justin Trudeau to become the United Conservative Party’s single, largest donor in UCP history — I never thought I would see the day.

What& #39;s more, the UCP is exploiting a loophole in order to qualify for the program. #ableg #cdnpoli 5/
According to the fed website, organizations must “see a drop of at least 15% of their qualifying revenue in March 2020 & 30% for the following April & May, when compared to their qualifying revenue for the same period in 2019” to meet eligibility requirements. #ableg #cdnpoli 6/
Let me be clear. During election months, political parties exceed normal fundraising totals & a record numbers of voters donate.

To be frank, it& #39;s dishonest for the UCP to use April & May 2019 to justify applying for the wage subsidy now. #ableg #cdnpoli 7/
It seems to me that Jason Kenney believes there& #39;s one set of rules for his party, and another, completely different set for the rest of us. #ableg #cdnpoli /end
