It seems to me another attempt to distract #Albertans from fraud and corruption charges.
We should stop amplifying these distractions, and instead call them out as attempts to avoid being held to account for crimes committed in office.
Almost like people don't want to drive around with a literal bomb under their asses.

When I filed this column in early January, I was worried it might be stale by the time it ran on April 1. Now, it seems not just timely - but prophetic. I just wish events had proved me wrong. https://albertaviews.ca/quibbling-with-quislings/ #Ukraine #Trump #tariffs #Alberta #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli #appeasement #quislings

Also in this Day of Trans Visibility, my interview from April 2024 with trans activist Alex Marshall and queer social work professor and family counsellor Kristy Hatcourt, about protecting trans kids, especially in Alberta. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/alberta-unbound/id1511810939?i=1000653968385 #TransDayOfVisibility #AlbertaUnbound #ProtectTransKids #Ableg #abpoli
During a recent Question Period, MLA Christina Gray asks Premier Danielle Smith about Jitendra Prasad. Prasad was a prominent figure in the Corrupt Care allegations. From this clip, Danielle Smith maintains her delusional line of argument that she did not know of the Corrupt Care cluster of contracts, and that this “issue” will be investigated to uncover the truth.
What Netizens will also be aware of is that the Statement of Defence Premier Smith refers is not a response to the allegations of corruptions contained in the original Claim. The Statement of Defence is simply a next step court filing in response to the issue of wrongful dismissal of Mentzelopoulos.
So Premier Smith is essentially making jazz hands at Albertans, trying to suggest that the Statement of Defence, a tightly leashed, limited-scope inquiry by a third party lawyer, and a potentially years long investigation by the Auditor General is an actual answer to the reported corruption from within her office, some of her fellow UCP party members, and other private parties.
Newsflash: Premier Smith has either been raising any other issue under the sun to change the subject, avoid speaking of the subject, and/or serving up the equivalent to word salad. She's even run off to a bizarre, American right-wing fundraiser. Anything to possibly get away from the Corrupt Care scandal.
With UCP control over AHS so complete, as discussed Post 111 and 93, every step taken by the AHS may be politically calculated, and motivated.
In “AHS claims fired CEO kept confidential emails, seeking injunction”, by Jack Farrell, what AHS is basically saying here is they’ll toe the line with Premier Smith.
Who else had that same concern that the UCP and “they” have 100% control over everything? Oh right, Post 112, Mr Peter Guthrie.
But, besides this very concerning issue of corruption, the Alberta NDP itself may be getting the “jazz hands” by their own signal management. While entirely a speculation on my part, the mainstream media outlets are all held by strong American interests, and X is simply not generating the same access and reach to the public despite whatever stats are reported back. I grow concerned that if the NDP are not prepared to meet this challenge by boldly stepping into the Social Web and taking back the signal, they’re being suppressed.

An account of our premier Danielle Smith's speaking engagement in Florida the other night. Didn't she say that she was 'going into the lion's den' to fight and stand up for Alberta/Canada? What's quoted are NOT fighting words. And even Ben Shapiro's walk back from annexation comments are offensive!

"The Solidarity Pact could signal new ties among some Alberta labour unions. For example, the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees or AUPE, the province’s largest with nearly 100,000 members, is not a member of the AFL, although its president, Guy Smith, stood next to McGowan at Wednesday’s news conference."

For those in Edmonton-Centre, the Conservative candidate is notorious for intimidation.
He and his team staked out in front of advanced polling stations as he ran for the provincial UCP, trying to intimidate minorities to vote for him.
Election laws prohibit campaigning or signage at polling stations, both provincially and federally.

6' 8" man allegedly threatened by a 5' 7" woman claims he was inhibited in his duties because he felt threatened by her.
Don't forget this pylon of a man illegally killed horses and threatened to murder property owners when they told him to get off their property because they were trespassing and hunting illegally.
Big man scared shitless by a person over a foot less their size is laughable at best.
Grow a pair, Nixon.

I am bemused that the federal NDP look to be wiped out, according to polling predicitions. Except in Edmonton, calling for maybe 5 ridings!? We pinko lefties are still Albertan, so we're not going to vote Liberal. So we become the NDP power base? And my hope is that Rachel Notley returns to bring a New Labour shift (a la Tony Blair) to a more nationally palatable NDP.
