Past Premier Smith explains how current Premier Smith is using AHS as a scapegoat from "the fallout of mistakes" and admits the truth that she had fired the board and was in direct control of AHS during the contracting. And if AHS didn't comply she would "chop off a...

Did you hear Danielle Smith wants to privatize your local hospital? She wants to take hospitals away from AHS and hand them over to other people to run. Maybe Covenant Health, maybe someone else. Nobody knows. Remember, the UCP privatized lab services in 2020 and it was a disaster. Endless waits to get an appointment, even longer waits to get results, and doctors sounding the alarm about mistakes in tests. Eventually the UCP had to reverse the whole thing at a massive cost. It was a dangerous and expensive failure, and that’s what Smith wants to try with hospitals. Let me tell you why I'm concerned. The Premier doesn’t understand healthcare, hospitals, or how competition works. She’s barely said a word about her plans for AHS since announcing that she's going to break it up. Instead, we hear these drips and drabs at members-only meetings in the lead-up to Smith’s UCP leadership review. Second, she said she wants a health care system that is ruled by “competition and fear.” This is bizarre, and it’s not going to work. Systems that are based on fear will inevitably collapse and those incentives don’t work in public service delivery. The folks at Covenant Health do amazing work right across the province every day, but we must recognize that Covenant facilities do not offer the full range of healthcare that Albertans expect, particularly in reproductive health and end of life issues. And despite what the Premier said, Covenant has been forced to shutter some of their emergency rooms, just as AHS has, because they have the same problem – a UCP government that is hostile to healthcare professionals. Changing the sign outside doesn’t create new doctors. Even if Tyler Shandro is on the board. Maybe Smith is just musing and saying the first thing that she thinks will please the person she’s talking to. Again. The problem is when you’re Premier, people work to turn your musings into reality. I’m concerned Smith is taking us down a path she hasn’t thought through at all. We need a government that is competent. That is not ideological, that does not make up its plans on the fly to save itself. We need better, and that’s what Alberta’s New Democrats promise.

Danielle Smith's Government Gave Over $70M in No-Bid Contracts to Justice Minister’s Relative Albertans are petitioning Premier Danielle Smith’s government to audit their municipalities over concerns of corruption and a serious lack of transparency. But how can the province investigate corruption at the municipal level when it is itself under investigation for serious allegations of corruption? In a lawsuit, former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos alleges that Premier Smith’s chief of staff, Marshall Smith, pressured her to favor companies tied to Sam Mraiche — a relative of Justice Minister Mickey Amery. Marshall Smith denies the claims as defamatory, but records show he lived in a $1.6-million home owned by Mraiche’s sister. The RCMP has launched an investigation following the lawsuit filed by the former AHS CEO. In 2022, during a medication shortage, the Smith government announced it had secured 5 million units of children’s pain medication from Turkish pharmaceutical company Atabay. But that wasn’t the full story. Behind the scenes, a middleman — Edmonton-based MHCare Medical owned by Sam Mraiche — was awarded a $70 million sole-sourced contract, paid upfront, to import the medication. Firms associated with Sam Mraiche have reportedly received approximately $614 million in contracts from the Alberta government, including a $228 million sole-sourced PPE contract awarded under Premier Jason Kenney’s government. What kind of an example does this set for municipalities?
