And why is the UCP government so “allegedly” beholden to Sam Mraiche?

submitted 4 hours ago • 0 comments

Danielle Smith went to the Vancouver game with tickets gifted to her by an Invest Alberta board member. Somehow, Sam Mraiche and another executive from MHCare ended up there, too. Not in the photo: AHS executives. #ableg #abpoli

This is astounding. It shows Albertans paid double - sometimes triple! - for surgeries at private surgical facilities connected to friends of the UCP than through AHS. And the Premier’s staff & Health Minister allegedly pressured & then fired the CEO of AHS when she asked questions about them.

Another “allegedly” we can cross of the list. ASG’s contract for services was much higher than other contracts. It pays to play, right? #ableg #abpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

A day after the premier accused AHS of "footdragging"on privatization of surgical services, AHS fires back with proof that MHCare was the one delaying -- taking money for nothing. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

SCOOP: AHS in December asked MHCare to prove it was working to fulfill its contract tied to importing medicine, accusing it of doing very little work after receiving millions of dollars. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w/ @alannasmith.bsky.social

Dec 20: AHS writes to MHCare asking for “a detailed status update" on contract commitments by Jan 8. Jan 7: MHCare responds that they'll need an extension. Jan 8: AHS CEO is fired. Current status of the request: "It is unclear if any information or documentation was provided to AHS." #ableg

After reading Carrie Tait's latest, I emailed my MLA, cc'd the Premier, leader of the opposition, and included the press secretary of Minister of Infrastructure, since he's the only one willing to ask the Premier to do reasonable things we should expect be done right now. #ableg #abpoli

“That company, MHCare Medical Corp., is a key figure in allegations from a former CEO of AHS that government officials interfered in contract negotiations on behalf of private companies.” And now AHS is being “overseen” by one of them. #ableg Gift article www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/8c224ca...

“As Premier, I was not involved in any wrongdoing,” she said on February 8, via a social media post. Doesn't matter. As premier, she was RESPONSIBLE for any wrongdoing. Resign, Dani.

"Ms. Smith has apparently decided that she doesn’t want to be known as the Premier who knew nothing. Now, she just wants to be a liar. “Danielle Smith lies”; it’s old news. It’s bland; it has no bite." #ableg #abpoli

They’re probably just peeved Nate didn’t have to spend tens of thousands on UCP Ministers, the Premier, and her staff to get it. #ableg #abpoli

I feel pretty strongly that if you're warming up to the idea of forcibly annexing an ally because you think it'll net your party more seats in congress, you should be barred from ever talking about American politics again

If I were a Canadian MP, I'd create a list of every American politician and media personality who's joking approvingly about or otherwise encouraging the idea of the US annexing Canada and ban them from Canada forever. They won't care, but it would show how seriously we're taking this.

They're more concerned about not offending the "MAGA right" than defending their own country. Conservatives have suddenly cornered the market on self-loathing Canadians. Enjoy the fruits of your labours.

I think it’s time for the CBC to serve it’s taxpayer funded higher purpose & start creating specials on the organizing techniques of the French Resistance & the Underground Railroad, & the resistance strategies of MLK Jr, Gandhi, Thic Nhat Hanh & the Chilean Mother’s Movement. #cdnpoli

When Danielle Smith triples-down on bad decisions, I can’t help but be reminded that she’s replaceable, and so are the MLAs who propped her up. #ableg #abpoli
