Well, currently we’re allowing the separatist UCP to run AB while facing multiple corruption, money laundering & fraud investigations. Guess your base is pretty stupid. You have no evidence Nenshi hid anything, you’re spinning a report to deflect from your failures

Divisiveness and reckless/shady spending of taxpayer money will be the UCP’s legacy.
This week, Americans sent a clear message in the midterms: they are exhausted by division, anger, and hatred. Good news? Albertans are too. Meanwhile, the UCP voted against a motion to denounce separatism as proud Canadians, and cut off debate on their gerrymandered maps. We also learned about Dale Nally’s ‘trade mission’ that expensed over $5000 for a Kentucky bourbon booze cruise as ‘taxi’ receipts. Week after week, one thing remains steady: the Alberta NDP is focused on the priorities that actually matter to you — fighting for the affordability, fairness, and democracy Albertans deserve.

$15M every month. That is what this govt is pulling in every month, by stealing the $200 federal disability benefit from AISH clients. Then they cut funding life saving cancer drugs. Yet we have MLAs travelling all over the world, and don’t forget $5400 Booze Cruise.

Dan Williams, Evan Romanow, Mraiche, Prasad and Marshall Smith Dan Williams and Evan Romanow Their ties are strictly political, administrative, and heavily centered around the high-profile healthcare procurement scandal. Their roles and connections became public through the wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed by ousted AHS CEO, Athana Mentzelopoulos: Dan Williams: Minister of Mental Health and Addiction Dan Williams is a UCP Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) and the Minister of Mental Health and Addiction. The "Concerned" Call: According to sworn court documents filed by Mentzelopoulos, Minister Williams became intensely worried when AHS launched an internal forensic audit into the multi-million dollar contracts awarded to private clinics. The Alleged Link: Mentzelopoulos's lawsuit claims Williams was deeply concerned that the AHS investigation would uncover DIRECT, IMPROPER CONNECTIONS between various government officials, Mraiche and his company, MHCare Medical, regarding public purchasing. Williams has publicly denied these allegations, stating his only concern was ensuring public funds were managed properly. The Recovery Centre Contracts: Under Williams's ministry, over $100 million in provincial funding has been routed toward building addiction treatment facilities, such as the Tsuut'ina Nation and Enoch Cree recovery centres. Construction and supply networks tied directly to Mraiche's businesses have secured a dominant role in building these private properties and LEASING THEM BACK TO THE PROVINCE. Evan Romanow: Deputy Minister / Civil Servant Evan Romanow is a long-time senior provincial bureaucrat who SERVES as the Deputy Minister of Mental Health and Addiction UNDER Minister Williams. He is the grandson of former Saskatchewan NDP Premier Roy Romanow, but has worked within Alberta's conservative civil service since 2011. The Messenger: Romanow is the administrative bridge between the politicians and the health authority. On January 2, 2025, Romanow held a pivotal phone call with the AHS CEO. According to the lawsuit, Romanow was the person who EXPLICITLY warned Mentzelopoulos that Minister Williams was anxious about her forensic audit exposing "our good friend JP," procurement chief Jitendra Prasad, and Mraiche. The Paper Trail: Internal ministry emails reveal that Romanow DIRECTLY COORDINATED the transition of private real estate assets into provincial detox centres alongside contractors, frequently copying Eric Engler, the Chief of Staff who lived in the luxury house owned by Mraiche's sister, on the communications. Romanow later issued a statement confirming the phone call took place but claimed his only intent was to verify the timeline of the AHS review...1/

And to read the whole report. Or…just go to page 54, that proves all these MLAs, adults in positions of power, are lying to their constituents…because they’re losing Calgary. Untrustworthy people. All of them. #BoozeCruise @UCPCaucus

How much did the Mraiche/Marshall network steal from us? "While authorities have not yet declared a specific, finalized dollar figure for the exact net profit pocketed by the network, forensic tracking by the Auditor General and the RCMP centers around hundreds of millions of dollars in public funds distributed through highly inflated, non-competitive pipelines. The specific contract values and individual profit margins currently under audit by authorities provide a clear roadmap of the massive financial scale: The Total Public Contract Value under Probe: Sworn evidence from Athana Mentzelopoulos's wrongful dismissal lawsuit reveals that the public health authority routed over $614 million in total supply, PPE, and service agreements to corporate entities owned by Sam Mraiche, including MHCare Medical and Carver PA Corp. Investigators are currently auditing what percentage of this $614-million pool constituted illegitimate or artificially inflated margins. The Outsized Surgical Multipliers: ASG Heritage Valley Internal AHS cost logs obtained by investigators show that ASG Heritage Valley was billing the government $8,300 per hip replacement procedure, while the baseline public hospital cost for the identical surgery sits at just over $4,000. Authorities believe that these double-rate contract structures allowed the private clinic to clear millions in excessive, taxpayer-funded profits per surgical block. The Turkish Pain Medication Margin: The Auditor General's review into the $70-million emergency contract for Turkish children's acetaminophen discovered a catastrophic loss of value: The province paid out tens of millions of dollars upfront. Out of the initial shipment, only a small fraction was safe or clinically viable for use. The vast majority of the medication sat completely unused and had to be incinerated as hazardous waste, meaning the contractor's massive payout yielded virtually zero public benefit. The 12-Week Land Flip Profit: A separate probe by the Auditor General focuses on direct real estate exploitation. Land titles show a numbered company controlled by Mraiche purchased an Edmonton commercial property for $1.7 million in mid-2024. Exactly 12 weeks later, the company flipped the same property to Alberta Infrastructure for $2 million, walking away with a swift $300,000 taxpayer-funded profit without conducting any upgrades or structural changes. Private Recovery Centre Lease-Back Pipelines: Authorities are tracking a network of decentralized addiction-recovery facilities, spearheaded by Marshall and funded under Minister Williams' multi-million dollar budget. These buildings were purchased by Mraiche-linked companies, like Melewka Homes Ltd, and leased back into the provincial network for as much as $480,000 per year per facility. This structure created a permanent, highly lucrative private rental income pipeline. Because the specialized RCMP anti-corruption unit has escalated its probe into potential money laundering and fraud, forensic accounting teams are actively mapping out shell company bank registries to determine exactly how many millions were siphoned out of these health contracts into the hands of private stakeholders...1/

“Danielle Smith is already trying to distance herself from Alberta’s failing far-right separatist movement. “Similarly, Jamil Jivani will eventually want people to forget that he’s good friends with J.D. Vance or that he’s influenced by Charlie Kirk.”
When the dust settles, every single MAGA collaborator, enabler and opportunist will pretend they were against it all along. You don’t get to peddle hate and disinformation, and then rewrite history when it becomes inconvenient. History keeps receipts. cultmtl.com/2026/11/one-day-…

Here is some fine prairie art. On a fence post. In the absolute middle of nowhere. At the junction of Highways 501 and 41 in far southeast Alberta. It was great to see. HTTPS://brokenpoplars.ca

Healthcare responsibility should entirely go to the Federal govt. Period. Provinces cannot be trusted with taxpayers’ money. Esp Alberta! People are/will die due to US-style private care model. It’s not Canadian values. It must be stopped! #Bill39AB #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
#ableg ALBERTA HEALTH CARE IS OFFICIALLY ON LIFE SUPPORT. 🚨💀 The UCP just dropped Bill 39, a BRUTAL omnibus bill designed to quietly TEAR DOWN what’s left of our public health system Here is EXACTLY how this corporate cash grab will bleed Albertans dry.👇🧵

So, an original commission member said that resoundingly, both urban and rural voters wanted to vote with their peers to ensure their needs and concerns were addressed. @ABDanielleSmith are you throwing away public input? Well, of course you are!
I just read your column in the print edition of the Globe, and think you've done a great job explaining the significance of what's going on right now. It looks like this government is once again calculating that the public won't care and that they can therefore get away with this latest cynical political manipulation. We really don't need American-style gerrymandering in Canada, and should be proud of our country's tradition of independent electoral boundary commissions. The bottom line is that this unnecessary politicization of the process is corrosive to good governance and to public confidence itself.

I’m so sick of these ignorant assholes.
The Bureau of Land Management is asking for the public’s help investigating two vandalism incidents involving prehistoric petroglyph panels in the Moab area. Names were carved into or near rock art in one incident along Highway 279 and another near Hell’s Revenge. These irreplaceable cultural resources are part of the region’s shared heritage. Once damaged, they can’t be restored. The BLM says vandalizing or disturbing archaeological resources is a serious federal offense under the Archaeological Resources Protection Act. It can result in significant fines, imprisonment and/or exclusion from public lands. Anyone with information that could help identify those responsible is asked to contact Moab BLM Law Enforcement at 435-259-2131.

When you see the speed the UCP acted on the water main investigation versus how little they've done on the MHCare procurement scandal while continually avoid the subject, it sure makes you wonder what a public inquiry would find 🤔 #ableg
