What is the "Corrupt Care" scandal?

Pete Guthrie, who left the UCP over their refusal to call a public inquiry, summed it up impressively today.

And he called out the UCP MLA's and ministers who remain silent on it.

Disappointing to see the Premier of Alberta travelling to the U. S. again while Canadians are encouraged to spend money elsewhere

It would appear, to me at least, that she is planting the seeds to build a career in media as opposed to doing what is best for the people of Alberta

Is it possible that Donald Trump watched Canadian Bacon and thought…”that seems like a good idea!”?

At this rate, it feels like the Premier will have spent more time in the US in 2025 than in Alberta.

She can’t even pretend this is one of her weak “diplomatic” trips. This is a promo tour for Trump MAGA types.

Sure doesn’t feel like she’s working for Canada’s interests.
Why is Danielle Smith participating in a PragerU event with Ben Shapiro?

I sure hope Alberta taxpayers aren't footing the bill to fly her down to Florida.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

We need anti-slap legislation in Alberta. It is beyond idiotic that the rich, who give skybox seats to our elected MLAs Ang get sweetheart deals from those same officials can sue a small content provider for revealing the truth.

It’s official. On Monday, when a whole lot was going on, the UCP quietly removed the ban on coal mining in the Eastern Slopes of the Rockies.

The same ban put in place because you, Albertans, spoke out.

We need you again.

Coal is a threat to us all.

A threat to our water.

And water is life.

Doesn’t she ever get tired of embarrassing Canada and Albertans specifically? How did she fool so many into thinking she is fit to be Premier?
While Danielle Smith is racking up air miles lobbying for oil and gas exemptions, she might also be undermining the biggest stick a future Canadian government in Ottawa has to retaliate against Trump’s tariffs - the oil and gas we export into the United States.
Being in Trump's orbit a double-edged sword for Danielle Smith

Just another example of the UCP government refusal to do anything meaningful to help Albertans.
"The province's reports showed that Alberta could bring consumers the biggest savings by adopting a fully public insurance system like Saskatchewan, British Columbia and others."

But, let's try lifting rate caps and see what happens.

We learn yet another reason Premier Smith replaced the ethics commissioner.

Trussler flagged issues with Stephen Harper being AIMCo's board chair.

No doubt Smith's new partisan ethics commissioner will clear Harper of any conflicts of interest.
