So, the UCP Leadership Review's Returning Officer has resigned and been replaced by Rick Orman.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... ๐Ÿงต

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.

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.
