Minister @AdrianaLaGrange, Atabay + MHCare Medical have not delivered $49.4 million of the $70m paid up front for children's meds.

Increasingly unlikely.

Please get that back. We need the money for healthcare. @alanna_smithh @Jantafrench @shoffmanAB
theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…"The provincial government has said it is working with the Turkish manufacturer to “explore options” to fulfill the remainder of the contract, but has repeatedly declined to provide additional details. However, in the e-mail from Mr. Van Dyne to Ms. Williams, he said they are hoping to fulfill the remainder of the contract – equivalent to $49.4-million – through the purchase of intravenous, or IV, acetaminophen."
You stated that GoA "bought the medicine with the best of intentions."

Only 13,700 of 1.5m bottles received were even distributed. AHS will NOT use them. We have 3-4 yrs of national demand in stock.

With good intentions now, please get the $49.4m back.

Minister @AdrianaLaGrange, you rightly stated that you're "very much in favour" of companies getting contracts competitively through RFP.

MHCare Medical and Atabay got this business via sole-source. Not competitive.

So can we get the $49.4m back now?

@AdrianaLaGrange Minister @AdrianaLaGrange you did not renew Accuristix contract to deliver vaccines to physician clinics for "quality and safety issues".

MHCare Medical's performance on Atabay import is atrocious. $80m boondoggle, unless..

..you get $49.4m of it back.

@threadreaderapp please unroll my request to Minister LaGrange to recover the undelivered $49.4 million of $70m paid up front to MHCare Medical + Atabay.

MHCare Medical
Supplies to Alberta Health Services 🧵

For those investigating this, especially HCW representatives like @UnitedNurses @HSAAlberta @gilmcgowan @Albertadoctors...

Health Canada's Medical Device Incident Database confirms some suspicions.

1. Danielle Smith ordered EVERY shipment of the $80m MHCare Medical/Atabay children's acetaminophen boondoggle to be AIRLIFTED at taxpayer expense.

2. It's likely these airlifts were handled by MHCare Medical too, with their usual profiteering off the Gov of Alberta.

🧵
How do I know Item 1 above? Well, for starters, Smith told us in her opening PR stunt.

Stupid, wasteful decision. Even if you truly believed you were solving a shortage, you might airlift the first 1-2 shipments, while bringing the rest by ocean freight.

alberta.ca/release.cfm?xI…"Alberta’s government and Alberta Health Services are working with Health Canada on completing the drug establishment licensing approval process. Once the approval is granted, the medication will be delivered to Alberta over 10 air shipments. As soon as the medication arrives in the province, it will be distributed to community and retail pharmacies so that parents and caregivers can purchase it for their children. Because Alberta’s government has secured so many bottles of the pain and fever medication, it is expected that Albertans will be able to find it on pharmacy shelves in the s...
Why do I suspect Item 2 above? MHCare Medical was already the middleman between Atabay, Alberta Health, and Health Canada.

They tout their international logistics experience on their website.

Why would they give GoA's corrupt, lucrative business away?

When I finally got my hands on $80m Danielle Smith/MHCare Medical boondoggle children's acetaminophen, I weighed & measured it.

Thanks to glass bottle: 291 grams

250,000 bottles = 73 tons!

Smith's decision to airlift that to Alberta in Jan 2023 is case study in bad ethics.

🧵 Image
@TheBreakdownAB @LukaszukAB @JMeddings @PfParks The whole boondoggle is enough to kick out a gov and bring in Auditor General.

But Smith's decision to manufacture AND airlift these 250,000 bottles – without a child safety cap (!) – shows the worst of it in one incident.

Shameless Smith made an expensive PR stunt about it.
GoA admitted that the package design they + MHCare submitted for Health Canada approval did not have child resistant cap required by law since at least 2006.

But Smith decided to:
• manufacture 250,000 deficient bottles anyway
• AIRLIFT them here

🧵Unboxing videos of $80m boondoggle by Danielle Smith + MHCare Medical to [incompetently] import children's acetaminophen from Atabay in Turkey.

Excuse the shaky hand - I don't have a tripod and missed lunch to get ahead of much-anticipated @TheBreakdownAB tonight.
@TheBreakdownAB Here's the link to the Blue Cross warning from the first video.

I guess me trying to hold a cellphone while doing this is like a parent trying to hold a sick child trying to figure out the package and instructions.

ab.bluecross.ca/pdfs/pharmacy-…
@TheBreakdownAB In this video, I show that the UCP gov claimed from the start that this product would be available on the same pharmacy shelves as the brand name products, at retailers so parents would not have go to hospital to get the meds.

I believe Danielle Smith + UCP erred when they changed Conflict of Interest Act to allow gifts of unlimited value – without changing underlying ethical requirement. I'm encouraging Opposition to complain to Ethics Commissioner about this.

@MLAIrfanSabir @KathleenGanley @nenshi
IMO, the error by Smith and the UCP makes all the luxury suite Oilers playoff tickets they smugly accepted, and similar gifts, a breach of the Conflict of Interest Act.

Even after the December 2023 amendment.

@DuaneBratt @TheBreakdownAB @LukaszukAB @JLisaYoung
I'm also encouraging ethics experts like @NdbYyc1305 @JenniferKoshan @molszyns at @ABlawg to look over my reasoning as I am not a lawyer.

It comes down to the changes made, and did not make, to Section 7(3) of the Act.

But the City doesn't tell you the $17m/yr is a mortgage payment, of which only the interest portion is operating revenue.

The City lies to you these are all Lease Payments.

On this mortgage, at best the City is getting a breakeven. The City is showing no Interest Income on it. Table 1: Summary of the Fin...Screenshot of excerpt from ...
Let's pretend this is a lease:
• payments starting at $17m/yr
• rising at ridiculously low 1%/yr
• as if CSEC is an affordable housing client needing a rent cap.

CSEC gets ALL the revenues of $1.2b of taxpayer dollars, custom-built, for only $17m/yr.

You see this mortgage better in the FAQ posted by the City sometime after 25 April announcement.

Wading through the deception, after $40m downpayment:

$392.3m interest paid
