1 - We’ve taken another look at @PugetSoundPSR, who published the original internet post that we were DM’d yesterday from an individual who has proven to be quite reliable.
PSR appears to be a quite a far right leaning organization, and that forces some questions...
2 - First of all, how does a small, apparently independent organization out of BC get leaked info on an Alberta based radio host?
Secondly, why does PSR have a ready to go theory for RJ’s departure, particularly one so inflammatory?
3 - @ryanjespersen has been a fixture in Alberta Talk Radio for quite some time. Why has his removal been so quietly done up until today?
4 - It’s no secret that the @UCPCaucus has held Mr. Jespersen in some contempt for quite some time, and with the recent UCP fundraising email that implied the media was an enemy we can’t help but wonder...
5 - What happened here?
It can’t be easy to push a high ratings host out the door, and yet that’s what happened.
We may never know, but with the seeming purge of progressive MSM folks who will use their massive platforms to question the govt...
6 - And with this leak coming from an independent far right media org that has a small audience, the question remains, who gave them the leak and why?

After our episode on the skybox network, we received a number of documents.
Today’s Globe & Mail report is prompting us to release one.
If authentic, they show direct govt intervention on behalf of ASG.

If authentic, this is the first page of a ministerial order signed by Adriana Lagrange declaring that because of the disintegration of AHS, government would be mandating Chartered Surgical Facilities.

The second page further clarifies, defines and mandates that AHS will follow government direction on the contracting of Chartered Surgical Facilities.
A few months ago on an unplanned visit to the Counter Signal, we noticed something weird and oddly familiar.
Banner ads advertising for the Government of Alberta.
Not dissimilar from the ones that the Western Standard runs...
/1
You might remember that we FOIP'ed the Western Standard ads and while we didn't get how much money the Alberta Government sent to the Western Standard, we did get a list of the campaigns.
/2
So we were pretty sure that the Counter Signal was also getting some money sent their way.
Smith is having a presser to announce a $29 million spend on a new unit for the Sheriff’s.
She’s getting new vehicles, drones and creating a 2 KM buffer on the border, invoking the critical infrastructure defense act, & putting the sheriff’s in charge.

Mike Ellis - We’ve gotta get control the 298 km because drug traffickers and gun drealers are crossing the border!
Ellis - I’ve tried to do everything I can to get the border under control. That’s why we’re strategically deploying Sherrifs, K-9, 10 drones to set up our own inspection stations.
