The Alberta government will pay $95 million to Evolve Power, an Australian coal company, as part of a legal settlement over changes to the province's coal policy. This comes after $143-million settlement with another company, Atrum Coal, earlier this year. Several other lawsuits are still ongoing.

Premier Danielle Smith’s claims about the Wyant report into the Alberta Health Services contract scandal are contradicted by the report itself. #abpoli thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

“We don't have any answer to the central question which is, were surgical procedures and medical equipment, was there overpayment for those things?” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Danielle Smith declares herself vindicated by Wyant report on dodgy contracts scandal. albertapolitics.ca/2025/10/dani...

Smith… Whose office hired nephews of Mraiche… - when she got elite tickets from his accountant (who she appointed to the board of invest Alberta) - when her chief of staff moved into a mansion owned by Mraiches sister Refuses to call a public inquiry Because she did nothing wrong.

Not interviewed by Judge Wyant in a report that’s supposed to probe political interference into AHS -Health Minister Lagrange -her chief of staff -anyone on political side other than Marshall Smith, who left premier’s office last fall

Rakhi Pancholi came out swinging on the Wyant Report and highlighted all of its flaws and shortcomings… It’s worth remembering she’s a lawyer as she takes Danielle Smith’s spin apart. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"Instead of negotiating with teachers in good faith to prevent a strike, Alberta’s government has opted to spend up to $55 million per week to pay parents affected by the strike..." #abpoli #ableg Inside the Right-Wing Attack on Alberta's Public Education via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

There are still investigations by the Auditor-General and the RCMP and the wrongful dismissal suit by former AHS CEO. But significant gaps in the Wyant report (ie., why were these conflicts of interest allowed to occur) strengthens my conviction that we need a full public inquiry.

The UCP wants to replace "Wild Rose Country" with "Strong and Free" on provincial license plates. The minister responsible said caucus, alone, decided on the change. And that the move was "clearly non-partisan". Here's the official party logo. You be the judge.

👀 Breaking the ATA and making membership in the union optional for teachers are actual official UCP policies that were enthusiastically passed by delegates at the party’s convention last year in Red Deer. daveberta.substack.com/p/teachers-o...

Honey, wake up, new potential Alberta referendum on ending private school funding just dropped.

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away. They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

An adult driver angry at a child they hit with their car. Our car culture summed up in one video.

Dear NDP. Now is when you say that if elected, you will cap class sizes at 25 over an 3 year period to allow for the required capacity buildout. That’s all you have to do here. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abed

Nobody has ever claimed AHS was perfect... But Smith's approach to healthcare has been to take a slightly injured patient (AHS) & dismember it. We asked ER physician Dr. Paul Parks (@PfParks) if that's accurate. Turns out it is, and some folks are getting very well paid! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

From the DM’s… As Danielle Smith spends $14 million of taxpayers money on a pipeline with no business case… The healthcare system is apparently cutting back on water. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith posted a photo of a child in a crowd holding up a sign saying "My Sober Parents" on social media platforms this week. The caption said his parents were "lost to addiction." The kid's mom says the post was "completely false" and the premier "used my son for clicks":

And the UCP just made Albertans cost of living even more expensive! Vehicle registration just quietly got ratcheted up. And this is with the UCP’s minimum 7.5% increase to insurance rates as well. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Worksheets aren't classrooms. Danielle Smith will spend millions of public dollars on everything but offering teachers a fair deal. youtube.com/shorts/lzFsB...

Utter contempt and disrespect from Bruce McAllister. Cutting off the kid's mic and limiting his freedom of expression is one thing, but saying he should be spanked is a fireable offense from a supposedly neutral moderator. Bruce needs to be removed immediately.

MLA @marlinschmidt.bsky.social sums up the Alberta covid booster shitshow perfectly:

An absolute embarrassment. Danielle Smith is a fucking menace. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/prairies_bc/...

“Enyinnah Okere, a deputy minister of communications, also said in an email the interim report won’t be made public, citing no requirement to do so in the terms of the investigation set by the government.” So no interim report for public eyes. #abpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

The link previously alleged between Marshall Smith and Jitendra Prasad, star of this story, isn’t mentioned here but worth reiterating: (From @jonnywakefield.bsky.social)

“Prasad, a former procurement official with Alberta Health Services, represented Alberta Surgical Group in negotiations with the health authority in the summer of 2022, while he was paid by AHS to advise it about contracting with such private providers” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

SCOOP: A consultant advising Alberta Health Services on private surgical facilities simultaneously negotiated with AHS on behalf of a company vying to open such a clinic, according to a confidential report obtained by The Globe. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Alberta is leading the nation once again! The UCP will continue working hard to keep distracting and rage farming Albertans so they stay laser-focused on blaming Ottawa while we kill jobs and investment through wasteful spending.

Literally every credible medical expert - "Puberty blockers do not sterilize patients" Danielle Smith - "Puberty blockers sterilize children!" Danielle Smith lies. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

For the first time in Alberta history, Danielle Smith will use the notwithstanding clause preemptively to shield her bills targeting vulnerable trans children from legal scrutiny. Her actions are simply cruel and wrong. Read my full statement below:

Wherein Danielle Smith responds to the Alberta Teachers Association by saying that public comments should be accurate and truthful. Yup. Danielle Smith said that. Out loud and everything. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Invest Alberta is a crown corporation created by the UCP. It reports directly to Danielle Smith & is funded by taxpayers. How much taxpayers cash did they spend on food ALONE during their retreat last year? $10,949.83 And that's literally not even the half of the event cost. #abpoli #cdnpoli

First posted by Andrew Scheer, a sitting member of parliament, reposted by the wife of the leader of the opposition, Ana Poilievre, & now Pierre Poilievre's Maple MAGA are threatening Rachel Gilmore. This is wrong & Scheer should resign. #cdnpoli

D Smith is trying to vilify teachers. "Those selfish teachers, prioritizing wage increases over improving classroom conditions..." Teachers shouldn't HAVE TO bargain to improve learning conditions. That's not what bargaining is for. The gov't is responsible for providing quality education. #ABEd

No one could have predicted this. #ableg

Invest Alberta is a crown corporation created by the UCP. It reports directly to Danielle Smith and is funded by taxpayers. Want to see something scary? At their retreat last Halloween, a breakfast buffet for 20 cost taxpayers almost $1000. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
