So, the UCP Leadership Review's Returning Officer has resigned and been replaced by Rick Orman. I don't know Rick, so maybe he's a nice guy, but he's entirely unsuitable to fill what should be a neutral administrative role. Here's why... ๐งต #ableg#abpoli
Rick is a former PC MLA who is friends with key Kenney insiders and allies. He endorsed Kenney in the PC leadership race. And, unbelievably (even I can't believe they're this brazen... He's a registered, active lobbyist, lobbying the UCP. #ableg#abpoli
Rick and Surmont Energy (the company he's CEO of) have been holding regular lobbyist meetings with senior ministers in the UCP government, asking for Financial Benefits/Grants for their oilsands project. (Side note, what happened to free markets not handouts?) #ableg#abpoli
Kenney's allies literally just put someone who is actively lobbying Kenney for taxpayer money in charge of ensuring there is a fair vote on whether Kenney remains Premier or not. This entire process and vote is utterly corrupt and compromised to its core. #ableg#abpoli
