Sam Mraiche has won a quarter billion dollars in sole-source contracts from Albertans to supply medication that no other province wanted; and masks and other PPE that healthcare workers call problematic.
How is it that MHCare medical keeps getting contracts?

It's the first day of the Legislative Session, and the UCP Government is already falling apart.

They are so focused on saving their skin as they navigate this #CorruptCare scandal that they aren't equipped to deal with what everyday Albertans really need.

We deserve better.

Former Premier Peter Lougheed knew then what Albertans know now: These mountains are ours, not the UCP's, and certainly not for coal mines.

It is embarrassing to see the MLA elected for the riding named after him actively repealing Lougheed’s own policy to protect the Eastern Slopes.
