Last Thursday, I rose in the House to hold Danielle Smith accountable for misleading the Health Cabinet Committee and hiding key details leading to the firing of the AHS Board-her own appointees. She failed to mention: A 10-page letter from the former AHS CEO. Notification of the AG. An AHS report on Tylenol. A probe into surgical facilities. Withholding information from Cabinet is unacceptable and must not be normalized. #abpoli #ableg

Did Danielle Smith really say that she had already moved one hospital away from AHS and to Covenant and that she was considering moving more? Yes. Here’s the clip. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Premier Smith asked about why government gave MHCare so many chances to fulfill its outstanding contract, and if this is how it would work with all vendors. Smith says this was a case of AHS writing a sloppy contract, and why they've changed processes now.

Danielle Smith's government fired the AHS CEO and then fired the Board. The report alleges that the firing happened after the AHS CEO and Board started to look into the legality of contracts for private surgeries that could enrich companies with strong ties to the UCP government and staff. They did all of this with YOUR tax dollars.

Former AHS CEO speaks out! Today on an Alberta podcast, former AHS CEO Athena Mentzelopoulos went right to the heart of the Wyant report, clearly spelling out how it doesn't exonerate Smith and the government. At all. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Today.. Smith was asked about the taxpayer funded destruction of the Tylenot™️ that she mandated AHS purchase... And taxpayers outstanding $50 million. There's a lot to unpack in this clip, but can we start with "countries like Ukraine and Africa?" #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Smith, speaking at an event hosted by an avowed separatist, really went of the rails... Not only did she give her version of the events leading to the firing of the AHS CEO, she also claimed public surgeries cost up to 9X more than charters! And she plugged ASG! #abpoli

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.

AHS Misrepresented Two Nigerian Doctor Brothers to Rural Alberta In 2024, two-and-a-half-year-old Alita Gerbrandt was taken to Beaverlodge Hospital in northern Alberta with worsening pneumonia. The "doctor" who examined her, Ogochukwu Obed Anizoba, sent her home despite her family's unresolved concerns. Hours later, she died. 🔍 Our investigation found that this doctor had been suspended in South Africa since 2012, allegedly for misrepresentation and for not possessing a valid medical diploma. When first asked, he denied ever being suspended. That is the first brother. The second brother also practices medicine in Alberta. His name is Dr. Tochukwu Gideon Anizoba. Their records line up almost exactly: same roof, same department in South Africa, same exam date, same graduation date. Then both end up as doctors in northern Alberta. 📢 What Alberta Health Services told the public AHS introduced the Anizoba brothers as new Nigerian physicians who had simply completed their training in South Africa. ⚠️ That was not true. Both men had already been fully registered, practising physicians in South Africa. They were not new doctors finishing school. They were doctors who had already been inside another country’s medical system. In December 2024, AHS announced that Tochukwu Gideon Anizoba was a “newly recruited” family physician. North Zone medical director Dr. Jane Ojedokun, also a Nigerian foreign medical graduate, introduced Tochukwu to Edson, praised his family medicine and obstetrics skills. What is troubling is that the CPSA had already restricted Tochukwu from practising obstetrics. He was also not “newly recruited.” AHS had already recruited him in 2018 to work in Westlock. Dr. Ojedokun and AHS did not respond to a media inquiry seeking comment on the discrepancies between the record and their statements. Rural patients often cannot check a Nigerian or South African file themselves. They rely on AHS and the CPSA to tell them who that doctor is. 📁 What the court file shows Court records exclusively obtained by Media Bezirgan show that Tochukwu Anizoba had already been hired by AHS years earlier. Under another name: Dr. Tobby Anizoba. In 2016, a clinic in High Prairie tried to hire a Nigerian-trained doctor from South Africa who called himself Dr. Tobby Anizoba. The clinic asked AHS to sponsor his Practice Readiness Assessment. AHS said no. The clinic sued. In 2018, the court sided with AHS. Then the fight became pointless, because AHS sponsored him anyway — not in High Prairie, but in Westlock. The High Prairie court file settled it. Dr. Tobby Anizoba and Dr. Tochukwu Gideon Anizoba are the same person. That is why “newly recruited” in 2024 does not hold. Alberta had already had this man in the system. Here is the problem. ❌ There is no Tobby Anizoba on the CPSA register. ❌ CPSA records show Tochukwu only began working in 2024. This leaves a six-year regulatory gap unexplained. A legitimate doctor does not use two names. A legitimate doctor does not list three different years for the same degree. That is the problem we identified with Dr. Tochukwu, also known as Tobby — the brother of Ogochukwu, the doctor who sent Baby Alita home. Look at his graduation year for the University of Benin: His CV says 2001 CPSA records say 2002 His LinkedIn says 2000 ⚠️ AHS told rural Alberta it had recruited a new doctor from South Africa. The court file shows a man who had already been inside the Alberta system under another name, with a résumé that cannot agree on the year he became a doctor. One brother was suspended in South Africa and sent Alita home. The other was presented to Edson with a skill he was restricted from practicing. How many other doctors licensed in Alberta have been suspended in another country for serious reasons? How many have graduation years that do not match from one record to the next? And how many has AHS introduced to rural towns with skills the CPSA had already restricted them from practising?
