Spoiler!

Buying a Pipeline that was DOA for $1.3B to try to pick economic winners and losers

Making cash payouts to doctors, to save face, for picking a losing a dumb fight during a pandemic.

Added several extra cabinet positions to bolster the average salary of UPC MLAs

Buying unusable medicine to make some pronouncement of doing something without actually having a plan to do anything functional

Buying ineffective PPE for medical professionals

Cutting tax rates for businesses hoping to bolster employment but not responding the the provinces employment numbers lagging behind the rest of the country in the wake of that, and causing an years of impending debt in Alberta, which will cause them to call for a reduction in government spending, which will cause an economic down turn, to which they will respond to by saying an economic down turn is no time to raise taxes to on the profits of businesses to below the level of all the other provinces, but at a level where we can better avoid deficits.

eliminating public health positions because the people who are educated in health that staffed them disagreed with the opinions of Marlainas facebook groups.

authorizing, then unauthorizing, then losing hundreds of millions in law suits for cancellations, then attempting to reauthorizing coal mining protected lands.

musing about using our pension money to prop up a specific industry (government picking winners and losers.)

knowing violating the public health restrictions you are responsible to enforce.

fomenting treason in bad faith, to "get a better deal"

lying about how equalization works

outsourcing critical medical functions like lab testing, without a proper implementation plan, blowing a punch of money re-nationalizing the services

paying your friends and donors twice as much to do work government employees could have done if you didn't spend so much time antagonizing them that you have a shortage.

Cutting back on education funding during a skilled labour shortage.

threatening private industry with government take over if you don't like their politics.

I ran out of ideas, but I am sure there are many many things more egregious than an outgoing MP taking a volunteer job to help advise an ally that has been invaded by an adversary

Over the past year, Minister Loewen has made several changes that affect Alberta’s wild species. He has increased the cougar quotas, authorized hunting of “problem” grizzly bears by members of the public, removed trapping limits on sensitive furbearer species and expanded the area in which cougars can be hunted. He has also allowed off-leash hunting dogs in provincial parks, expanded the species that can be hunted under a Minister’s Special License, lowered the minimum age of hunting, permitted wasting of meat or skins and allowed hound-hunting of black bears.

These changes heavily favour a small group of hunters, trappers and outfitters, a group that Minister Loewen maintains close personal connections with. Prior to his current role, Minister Loewen was the owner of Red Willow Outfitters, a guide outfitting business. The business currently lists his wife and son as the primary stakeholders and remains an active outfitting business. The Minister has been active in attending Safari Club International Convention Shows and the Wild Sheep Foundation Summit, both organizations that promote hunting of large predators. He also maintains associations with the Alberta Trappers Association and has passed his traplines to his sons.
