Did you know that @jkenney has 19 political staffers who make over $100,000 a year? The highest makes over $224,000, which works out to nearly $20,000 a month. The lowest paid of those 19 makes over $114,000; that’s nearly $10,000 a month.https://t.co/EAc58HYfN1#ableg #abpoli pic.twitter.com/h7fi2V3g7g

People don’t like the use of “settler” because it centres their identity around indigeneity instead of their whiteness. It threatens the rhetoric around eurocentric culture and possession of land. It delegitimizes capitalism as a natural evolution of society.

Finally tracked down @RachelNotley’s staff salary list for her first year. Her list has 1 more than @jkenney’s, but she included assistants and receptionists.

Notley spent $821K less on *all her staff* per year than Kenney is on his 19 most expensive.#ableg #abpoli https://t.co/YaacOiqT0e

This is a 28.3% increase. @jkenney is increasing Alberta’s debt by nearly 30% in just 2 years, and @Alberta_UCP voters are still blaming @RachelNotley for our debt. #ableg #abpoli https://t.co/omIG1oFXaZ
