I'd encourage everyone to read the whole Statement Meanwhile here is my PERSONAL interpretation of the allegations in SoC and the events around it: 1-Athana aggressively recruited to CEO role by govt: they know she's highly competent and can be trusted https://buff.ly/3QmG6ie

I think I need to support @thebreakdownab.bsky.social with this revelation. Seriously, these people should be governing rather than trying to go after critics

With all going on in Alberta politics regarding the healthcare system right now… … your reminder that the care you receive is directly thanks to the amazing humans who work on the frontlines: the nurses, the doctors, the clerical staff, allied health, support workers 💖🧑‍⚕️

There are good people still in government. How do we know? After our episode on the skybox network, we received a number of documents. Today’s Globe & Mail report is prompting us to release one. If authentic, they show direct govt intervention on behalf of ASG. #abpoli /1

SCOOP: AB Health Minister Adriana LaGrange stripped Alberta Health Services of power to negotiate after its then-CEO allegedly refused to sign pricey deals www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... #abpoli #ableg

The UCP did the same with AIMCO. They fired the CEO, replaced him with Stephen Harper and appointed the DM of Treasury as a permanent member of the Board, ending, as they did with AHS, any arm's length governance. Notice a pattern yet?

Premier Smith's abdication of responsibility is galling as it is predictable. The UCP had seized full control of the body when the alleged wrongdoings took place. It's been their beast for years. I raised red flags about this peril of populism three years ago. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...
