runsmooth<p>From “Alberta paid more than six times usual price for pain medications in $70-million import deal, according to government briefing note”, by Carrie Tait and Alanna Smith, Netizens learn that Alberta had options to order less of the infamous Tylenot.<br><br>To recap, Post 114 to 115 reveal that Alberta has stored the unwanted Tylenot and PPE to the tune of over $5 Million. At some point, Danielle Smith abjectly tried to offer the unwanted material to Ukraine. Albertans are also aware that Premier Smith’s government deposited $49 million dollars into an MHCare account, and the money’s been sitting there for over a year.<br><br>Albertans now find that Premier Smith maximized the boondoggle by choice. Worse, Danielle Smith has tried to change the focus off from her Corrupt Care scandals by giving Alberta Separatists a platform.<br><br>From JasonontheDrums, there’s a review of what Alberta may have been able to invest with the money squandered by Premier Smith in favour of MHCare and Mraiche.<br><br><a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/compassionatecareact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CompassionateCareAct</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/involuntarytreatment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InvoluntaryTreatment</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/forcedtreatment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ForcedTreatment</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/corruptcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorruptCare</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HealthCare</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Corruption</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/alberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alberta</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/albertaseparation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlbertaSeparation</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/railmasterplan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RailMasterPlan</span></a><br><br><a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/ethicalfading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EthicalFading</span></a><br><br><a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/comment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>comment</span></a><br><br>- <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/ableg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbLeg</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbPoli</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CdnPoli</span></a> 125<br><br><a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta/article-alberta-turkish-pain-medication-deal-prices/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta/article-alberta-turkish-pain-medication-deal-prices/</a><br><br><a href="https://archive.ph/fJ2d4#selection-2381.0-2381.131" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://archive.ph/fJ2d4#selection-2381.0-2381.131</a><br><br><a href="https://bird.makeup/users/jasononthedrums/statuses/1926370546964484331" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bird.makeup/users/jasononthedrums/statuses/1926370546964484331</a></p>
runsmooth<p>Netizens following the Corrupt Care scandals will already be aware of Marshall Smith’s lawsuit against Mentzelopoulos, the Globe and Mail, Carrie Tait, and an unnamed party. For many, Smith’s lawsuit appears to be a SLAPP or Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation.<br><br>Now, “Former chief of staff to Alberta Premier lived in home owned by Sam Mraiche’s sister”, by Carrie Tait, appears to raise further issues of Smith’s relationship with Sam Mraiche. Also, two other political staffers may have stayed at the same property:<br><br>&gt;Mr. Smith lived at the property with at least two other people.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Ethan Lecavalier-Kidney told The Globe he lived at the property under a sublease agreement from August, 2023 to April, 2024. He said he paid $1,118 a month, plus utilities. He did not answer questions about who collected his rent.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Eric Engler also confirmed he resided at the property but did not provide details about when he lived there or the amount of rent he paid.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Both said they were unaware of who owned the property. The two men worked in government as political staff.<br><br>Albertans will need real answers to what’s going on with Danielle Smith and the UCP. How deeply integrated is the UCP with Mraiche?<br><br>Netizens know that the UCP have not volunteered this information to the public. Albertans have little reason to believe any of the measures taken by Danielle Smith’s UCP are intended to address the corruption scandals in good faith.<br><br>Alberta must have a full Judicial Inquiry.<br><br><a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/compassionatecareact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CompassionateCareAct</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/involuntarytreatment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InvoluntaryTreatment</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/forcedtreatment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ForcedTreatment</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/corruptcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorruptCare</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HealthCare</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Corruption</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/alberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alberta</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/albertaseparation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlbertaSeparation</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/railmasterplan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RailMasterPlan</span></a><br><br><a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/ethicalfading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EthicalFading</span></a><br><br><a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/comment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>comment</span></a><br><br>- <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/ableg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbLeg</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbPoli</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CdnPoli</span></a> 124<br><br><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/marshall-smith-defamation-lawsuit-ahs-globe-1.7537552" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/marshall-smith-defamation-lawsuit-ahs-globe-1.7537552</a><br><br><a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta/article-ahs-investigations-danielle-smith-marshall-smith-home-sam-mraiche/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta/article-ahs-investigations-danielle-smith-marshall-smith-home-sam-mraiche/</a><br><br><a href="https://archive.ph/5dQBK" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://archive.ph/5dQBK</a></p>
runsmooth<p>Mr Guthrie gave notice to the Auditor General about a previous allegation of Ethical Fading, this time a multi-billion dollar Rail Master Plan that may have involved Premier Danielle Smith’s husband, David Moretta.<br><br>From “Why Was Premier Smith’s Husband in a Secret Megaproject Meeting?”, by Charles Rusnell, Mount Royal’s Lori Williams offered some foreshadowing of the years to come:<br><br>&gt;“In politics, we talk about not just doing things properly, but appearing to do things properly,” she said.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;“And if things are happening in a way that appear to evade documentation, or people are told that information isn’t available because it wasn’t a government meeting, it raises both questions of fairness and propriety.”<br><br>I think Williams’ comments are of particular force when Albertans have to go over the last few years of Danielle Smith and her cabinet’s activities. As NDP's Nenshi has stated time and again, Albertans deserve a full Judicial Inquiry into Corrupt Care, and the Auditor General needs to be able to do his job without restrictions.<br><br><a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/compassionatecareact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CompassionateCareAct</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/involuntarytreatment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InvoluntaryTreatment</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/forcedtreatment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ForcedTreatment</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/corruptcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorruptCare</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HealthCare</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Corruption</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/alberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alberta</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/albertaseparation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlbertaSeparation</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/railmasterplan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RailMasterPlan</span></a><br><br><a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/ethicalfading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EthicalFading</span></a><br><br><a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/comment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>comment</span></a><br><br>- <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/ableg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbLeg</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbPoli</span></a> <a href="https://coffee-time.org/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CdnPoli</span></a> 123<br><br><a href="https://youtu.be/-HIOk6Q_Bhg?si=NGl-Pfp30NGcA-8P&amp;utm_source=ZTQxO" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/-HIOk6Q_Bhg?si=NGl-Pfp30NGcA-8P&amp;utm_source=ZTQxO</a><br><br><a href="https://thetyee.ca/News/2024/08/28/David-Moretta-Secret-Rail-Megaproject-Meeting/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://thetyee.ca/News/2024/08/28/David-Moretta-Secret-Rail-Megaproject-Meeting/</a></p>
