This has all the feels of something that, in normal times, would bring down a government.

SCOOP: Danielle Smith's government fired the head of Alberta Health Services two days before she was to meet with the Auditor-General to discuss her internal investigation into procurement contracts and deals for private surgical facilities. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... #abpoli #ableg

Exactly. Reminds me of Nixon firing the Special Prosecutor in 1974.

Didn't the previous Conservative govt in Alberta gag then fire the elections commissioner as she was about to give a report on election weirdness in Alberta?

Strange. I perused the rag, aka the Edmonton Journal, for any mention of this story. Crickets. Did it break too late? Did I miss it? Or is Postmedia once again putting its finger on the scale? I did, however, see a deeply unfunny editorial cartoon attacking Trudeau by the untalented Malcom Mayes.

CBC Radio is also not including it in their provincial newscasts. My working theory is it's because they are complicit cowards.

Ms. Tait's scoop is seismic. The early silence is perplexing. It's not mentioned in either online site, as of a little while ago. I get that you need to do some fact checking and get some confirmation. But you can put out a placeholder blurb with a notice about it being a developing story.
