The United Conservative Party is accusing three labour unions of promoting the Alberta NDP without disclosing donors, violating the Election Finances and Contributions Disclosure Act.
“These two union organizations are spending tremendous amounts of money to promote Rachel Notley and the NDP without disclosing their donors, and the leadership of these unions holds dual roles with the unions they work for and the NDP, which we believe is an egregious conflict of interest that violates the law.”
“This is simply an attempt from Danielle Smith and the UCP to distract from Smith comparing 75 per cent of the province’s population to Nazi sympathizers, and Albertans aren’t buying it.”In an email to QR Calgary, Elections Alberta said it is unable to comment on allegations it has received nor on the investigations due to restrictions in the Elections Act and the EFCDA.
“I also want to stress that it is the job of the Alberta Federation of Labour to stand up for the working Albertans we represent. That is exactly what we’re doing.”Decision Alberta: UCP Leader Danielle Smith joins Global News Morning
