Seriously… We go away for two weeks and someone broke Camrose? H/t reddit #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The province has chosen Honourable Raymond E. Wyant, former Chief Judge of the Provincial Court of Manitoba to lead an investigation into the “Corrupt Care” scandal. Report due by June 30th, 2025 Extra wild stampede this year? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Hey folks! Looks like when we had to deactivate our youtube channel it also purged our subscriptions... So... Like and subscribe? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

UCP MLA Scott Sinclair has condemned Danielle Smith's new budget and condemns the funds being directed towards major sports teams. Including the Oilers. Who Smith is on record saying she accepted elite tickets from. Huh. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The UCP's forced treatment continues to receive criticism... The Canadian Public Health Association "urges the Alberta government to abandon this coercive and ineffective approach & instead adopt evidence-based harm reduction strategies & voluntary treatment options." #abpoli

So... A UCP Minister stepped down because of conerns on government procurement, a train wreck of a budget with at least 1 UCP MLA condemning it... What else did we miss? Also, see you at noon for a special episode/update! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

An update from the show… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli youtu.be/M37Ymm0b9QI?...

Hey folks. This account will be unmonitored until our show on Sunday night. Which you won’t want to miss. See you then. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"The payment is at odds with prior comments Premier Danielle Smith made to the Canadian Press in December indicating that the entire $70 million was paid upfront at the time of the initial contract." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

“UCP cabinet minister is urging the premier to remove Health Minister Adriana LaGrange from her post while investigations continue into serious allegations a fired Alberta Health Services CEO has made about major health contracts” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“AHS made $28-million prepayment for imported drugs two weeks after telling hospitals not to use them” So, Dani lied about this too? ##abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

“The premiers would have done better to have taken the public tour. They might have learned some valuable trivia, like how we burned the place down in 1814.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

“McFee appears several times in an MHCare promotional video about the conference, including one segment in which he talks about the opportunities for networking.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

Solid thread on the Statement of Claim! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Worst. Voltron. Ever. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Did Smith and the UCP guy social spending to deliver a tax cut only to have Trump destroy that prospect? Read this article! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

This is about as solid a thread on the ongoing UCP scandal and the new lawsuit against them that you're going to find! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Amidst growing concerns the UCP Govt is not aware of critical elements of critical files... Schulz was asked today about the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation refusing to attend a 30 minute zoom meeting as it's insufficient & disrespectful Her reply? "I was not aware of that" #abpoli

Day 2 of document drop! This has been identified to us as the Ministerial Directive from Jason Copping ordering AHS to procure the children’s meds. If authentic, It set not only the required dosing, but the cost centers and the health Canada requirements for resale. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

That’s… Dystopian. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“How you think your vacation photos turned out vs how they actually did” A special presentation in two pictures… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

On today’s episode of “a story in 2 pictures”… Adriana Lagrange would again like you to believe that the termination of a contract 3 years early was always the plan. Also, please ignore the part where the board would be part of recruiting a new CEO. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“I still refuse to acknowledge what everyone else has, that Trump wants Canada. Maybe appeasement will work THIS time!” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Huh Smith is on record that the entire children’s med purchase had to be paid for up front… But on July 26, more than 2 weeks after AHS pulled the product from their shelves, a “pre-payment” was made for years 3,4 & 5. So was it not all paid up front? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“Danielle Smith’s directives in response to allegations of massive alleged corruption within the province’s health-care procurement system fall far short of what is needed to ensure transparency and accountability, experts say.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

As promised here is Day 1 of “A Document a Day!” Or… When is “fully paid up front”… Not? Here, we have a recently completed FOIP we did where we asked for a list of everything AHS has ever purchased from MHCare! There’s a lot of stuff! /1 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Ok then. Let's revisit the purchase of the Atabay meds this week. From start to finish. A new alleged document every day? Sounds like fun! See you tomorrow morning! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“The White House said Tuesday that should all its trade actions take effect in March, it would indeed pile tariff on top of tariff, to reach the larger number of 50 per cent on some items.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/world/w...

It’s official! A former Manitoba RCMP Deputy commissioner, Kevin Brosseau has been named as Canada’s “fentanyl czar”! (Not a general) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

You would think if anyone in government would appreciate the importance of protecting the water supply of Southern Alberta from coal… It would be a finance minister who’s collected over $350,000 in “moisture deficiency payments” from a crown corporation… #abpoli #cdnpoli

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

With the news that Smith won’t be returning to Alberta until the 13th and so many unanswered questions around alleged corruption in her government… Many Albertans are wishing there was some way Smith could present herself to answer questions. If only… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

As rumors swirl about Lagrange being moved out of health “for the sake of the investigation”… It’s perhaps worth remembering that Smith is on the record saying she initiated the Tylenot™️ deal. The premiers office is the common denominator. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“The allegations being made in this case make the Redford affair look almost quaint by comparison. They will hang like the sword of Damocles over the Smith government until the matter is fully investigated by trusted third parties.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

New episode! It took Danielle Smith three days to respond to the staggering corruption allegations that appeared in the earth shattering story by the Globe & Mail. And what was her response? We take a look! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

From the DM’s… Hearing that back in October, Adriana Lagrange issued a ministerial order explicitly demanding that AHS not only re-up Alberta Surgical Groups contract… But also dictated what they got paid per procedure. Which seems… Problematic? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“Fewer than one-in-four Albertans support leaving the Canada Pension Plan and establishing a new Alberta pension plan, according to the results of a new poll from Leger” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

New episode! Fines aplenty! Tariffs and annexation! And the bombshell revalations about alleged corruption in the UCP government brings back the Skybox Scandal! All this and more! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...
