Dear Neighbours,
The spring session of the Alberta legislature ended in May just as it began in February, with the UCP government shrouded in a scandal that shockingly gets worse with every new development or revelation.
In April, UCP MLA Peter Guthrie, who called out his party over its handling of the investigation into allegations of corruption in multi-million-dollar private surgery contracts, was kicked out of the UCP caucus.
In the middle of May, the Globe and Mail reported that “Danielle Smith’s former chief of staff lived in a home owned by a sister of Sam Mraiche, a businessman whose dealings with Alberta Health Services are subject to multiple investigations.”
And in late May, the Globe and Mail revealed that Alberta handed over $70 million for Turkish Tylenol, “paying a price more than six times greater than what the provincial health authority would normally pay for the same volume of product”, in a deal that did not protect Albertans and cost taxpayers over $15,000 a bottle.
This summer, I’ve been talking to a lot of people at Stampede, dog parks, and in and around Marda Loop, and they’ve told me that Alberta is better off in Canada.
The majority of Albertans know as a country; we are stronger together.
That’s why this summer especially I am looking forward to celebrating everything about our province, our country, and the people who call it home; the things that makes me so proud to be an Albertan and a Canadian.
