The Premier’s “exes” have had enough.

First, it was Guthrie demanding answers on the Premier’s husband’s “lobbying” activities.

Then yesterday, former UCP MLA Scott Sinclair unloaded all the cannons on Danielle Smith.

What. A. Moment.

Good facts here to combat the ridiculous alternate reality the separatists are cranking out. 👇

I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous.

But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...

I'm sharing this opinion piece every time I see it because the role of a CMOH is to be present and informative about health emergencies, or potential emergencies.

Hard not to think that Dr. Joffe wanted to say everything he outlines here weeks ago, but wasn't allowed. #AbLeg #AbPoli
Alberta's recently departed CMOH, Dr. Mark Joffe, on what the province needs to do to stop the spread of measles within our borders. Measles is not a mild disease, it is preventable with two doses of vaccine. #ableg calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...
Opinion: Former top doc Mark Joffe speaks out on why Albertans should care about measles
Measles is a highly infectious and serious disease, and entirely preventable. Alberta’s current outbreak of measles should concern us all.

Perhaps I'm too lost in this but I am shocked (and dismayed) by the lack of incredibly strong opposition to this.

There is a massive COI here. Nobody should be letting government get away with this.

It’s like they’re not even trying to take this seriously.
An undisclosed third party will deliver a confidential report to the premier about her own office's alleged involvement in a procurement scandal and cover-up.

That should clear the air.

Are you kidding me? She read about it in the Globe and Mail? And she couldn’t get information from AHS for 8 months from the the board she stacked with 4 UCP insiders, or her Chief of Staff?

I’m calling bullshit.
Speaking to reporters in Washington, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she first became aware of the allegations surrounding Alberta Health Services when she read it in the newspaper.
She added the government has been trying to get information from AHS for eight months.
