"Documents obtained by The Globe show some of those prices were more than double what a competitor was charging for the same procedures." Alberta surgical companies with contracts under scrutiny linked to firm that imported children’s pain meds theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Alberta NDP once again calling for a full public inquiry into the health care scandal after Infrastructure Minister Peter Guthrie confirmed an independent audit has been launched into a land deal between the province and one of the people at the heart of the other investigation.

Smith’s story makes no sense and it’s important to point out her press conference didn’t address any of the allegations launched at her by the former AHS CEO. Instead, she confuses people by talking about contracts and procurement. Albertans want real answers. #ableg #abpoli

Why is the Premier so scared of getting to the truth and calling a public inquiry to this CorruptCare scandal? youtube.com/shorts/muYF5...

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the maple leaf as Canada's flag! 🍁 I'm proud to be a Canadian & I love the people, the places, and the values that make up our nation. I shot this photo in Jasper, a great place for your next Canadian vacation. ❤️ www.canada.ca/en/canadian-...

Minister Peter Guthrie had the courage to put in writing what Albertans already know: Adriana LaGrange has lost public trust. She needs to be fired. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If the allegations in Athana Mentzelopoulos’ statement of claim are true, this is the worst scandal and biggest cover-up in Alberta’s history. Danielle Smith must fire the Health Minister, step aside, and allow a full public inquiry. Sign the petition. 👇 www.albertasfuture.ca/take-action/...

Why has the UCP Cabinet been silent on allegations of corruption in their government? I’m calling on Minister of Justice Mickey Amery to speak out against corruption. You should too! Contact [email protected] or [email protected].

There are new allegations that the Minister of Health, Adriana LaGrange, was involved in dictating the price that AHS was to pay for multi-million-dollar contracts and ordered AHS to shut down and cover up its internal investigations. 🔽🧵 www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

AHS's former CEO sues AHS and Health Minister Adriana LaGrange, takes issue with govt statements that it asked her for info on alleged wrongdoing for 8 months and heard nothing back. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w @alannasmith.bsky.social

The explosive allegations of corruption and inflated contracts at Alberta Health Services led to the firing of the CEO and the AHS Board as those individuals tried to get to the bottom of what’s going on. Albertans deserve answers.

Here’s a quick explainer on the explosive allegations against the UCP that came out this week. Because if it’s true, this is big.

Naheed Nenshi’s response to Danielle Smith: “It took her 4 days to say anything. And then she says she will do nothing beyond what’s already happening. This is simply not good enough. Her own office is implicated. The investigation can’t be handed over to the people being investigated.”

No AB govt has played a more heavy-handed role in AHS than Danielle Smith’s. They’ve replaced the CEO 5 times, the Board twice, reorganized, decentralized, allegedly messed with contracts. Nobody’s believing Danielle Smith’s fiction that AHS is somehow separate from her. She made sure it wasn’t.

Four days it took her to say anything. And then she says … she will do nothing.  Not good enough. Her own office is implicated. The investigation can’t be delivered to the people being investigated. How dumb does she think Albertans are? /1

If it’s true, the UCP used over half a BILLION of your tax dollars to pay their friends and fired people to cover it up. The same friends paid for the UCP's luxury skybox hockey tickets and made money off Turkish "Tylenol." Albertans just want to know... is it true? youtube.com/shorts/4ruVD...

It's hard to overstate the serousness of health care contract allegations. This needs a full airing and we won't get it from a government that fires the whistleblower. Column calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #abhealth #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg

Every single UCP MLA and Cabinet Minister needs to take a hard look in the mirror and ask themselves if these shocking allegations are what they had in mind when they signed up to serve our province. Albertans deserve better than this.

There must be a full RCMP investigation, an Auditor-General investigation, and a public inquiry into these extremely troubling allegations. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

The Alberta NDP is saddened by the passing of Dr. Raj Pannu. A compassionate and dedicated leader, Raj served as the MLA for Edmonton-Strathcona from 1997 until his retirement in 2008. He led our party in 2000 with his memorable "Raj against the Machine" campaign, leaving a lasting impact.

A huge congratulations to @robmiyashiro.bsky.social on being sworn in today as an MLA! The Alberta NDP caucus is so fortunate to have you, and the people of Lethbridge-West are in excellent hands with such a committed advocate representing them in the legislature. Couldn’t be happier for you, Rob!

It all starts with a strong public education system---without it, we have nothing. To every educational support worker and ally on the picket lines, thank you for standing up and fighting back.

Educational Support Workers are striking throughout our province demanding fair wages. The UCP is failing our education system, funding education at the lowest level per student in the country. Our government needs to properly fund our schools and students.

It's happening! Come join us for the MLA Christina Gray #MillWoods Resource Fair, on now until 2pm @ the Mill Woods Town Centre mall. Meet with many different helpful #yeg organizations & learn about the services they provide!

We need a provincial government that will stand up for Canada and for our sovereignty and our economy. We have to take a Team Canada approach that looks out for the best interest of every Albertan. It’s time for us to fight for Canada! Danielle Smith, are you listening? youtube.com/shorts/NHB-b...

UCP gave themselves a raise & another $1 million of taxpayer money into their caucus, I stood w/ real heroes—school support staff in Ft Mac. They are on strike, fighting for dignity & respect after yrs of being ignored. #WorkersRights #SupportOurSchools #ABPoli #AbEd #ABEducation #ableg #ablabour

As thousands of education workers prepare to go on strike, don’t let the UCP distract from how we got here. Over 4000 students in Edmonton Public Schools are unfunded by the UCP. Alberta has the lowest per-student funding in the country. The UCP will blame school boards. But this is on the UCP.

Alberta: home of the highest auto insurance rates, fastest-growing rents, highest inflation, lowest minimum wage, lowest education funding. And home to a UCP government that’s just hiked their own salaries and budgets. Instead of helping you, the UCP helped themselves. Please don’t forget this.

The UCP promised to fix healthcare in 90 days. 3 CEO’s later, our healthcare system is worse off than ever before. Better is possible.

EAs & support staff are the backbone of schools, yet many haven’t seen a wage increase in yrs. The UCP’s underfunding of schools has left them no choice but to strike. It’s time to stand up for fair wages and proper funding for students in our schools. #AbEd #AbEducation #AbLabour #AbLeg #AbPoli

Must read thread! 👇👇👇👇 While you're struggling to pay your bills in the face of rising costs, the UCP are focused on using your $$ to help themselves. #abpoli #anythingbutaffordability

As of Feb 1st the UCP are decreasing payments and delisting certain eye exam services for children and seniors, meaning more costs are being heaped onto vulnerable Albertans. Hey UCP: When we’re in the middle of an affordability crisis, maybe don’t roll back health care services?
