Page 21 of the UCP Platform clearly states that a Kenney led government would “return to allowing banked hours to be paid out at regular pay instead of time-and-a-half.”

The proposal would also make Alberta’s work sites less safe and slow job creation as paying time and a half encourages employers to hire more workers instead of making their current employees work dangerously long hours.

This is only the latest attack on working people in Alberta. Mr. Kenney has also proposed a pay cut for people under 18, cuts to holiday pay, and a new panel to implement lower wages in the hospitality sector.

Notwithstanding Mr Carpay’s histrionics, Mr Kenney says he supports
GSAs but (and it’s a big but) if he’s elected he’ll get rid of Bill 24
which prohibits schools from outing kids who join GSAs.

Bottom line, if Mr Kenney becomes premier, students who could benefit
from belonging to a GSA will be afraid to join one, lest their teachers
out them to their parents.  Mr Kenney effectively nipped GSAs in the
bud.  Cunning, eh?

The party revealed its platform Saturday in Calgary. It was filled with details on how it would intend to run Alberta’s government, if it wins enough seats in the April 16 provincial election.

UCP Leader Jason Kenney held a rally before his platform announcement at Spruce Meadows equestrian park in south Calgary. He then spoke to reporters, laying out his 117 page plan.#abpoli #ableg

Hard to believe, I know — but they all lie…

Social media has become a powerful tool for Alberta’s two leading political parties in the election campaign. CBC News examined the memes posted on the social media accounts of both the UCP and NDP in the last week and so far both parties have made misleading claims.
