“Glubish also said that the government gave McLeod “unprecedented access” to the development of the legislation, but in a statement Wednesday, McLeod said her office didn’t see the finished bills until they were introduced in the legislature.”

@MLAIrfanSabir @DuaneBratt
@MLAIrfanSabir @DuaneBratt Only in Alberta can the government gut the Access to Information Law, and lie about giving the Information Commissioner responsible for enforcing it access to its development.

More evidence AB Health Min LaGrange never intended ANY vaccination in physician's offices continue past April 2024.

Feb 2024: she "specifically asked" Alberta Pharmacists Association if they could do it, even if beyond their current scope of practice.

@drDavidKeegan @JMeddings @JenLeeCBC @TheBreakdownAB @TehseenLadha @Albertadoctors For the evidence she lobbied them, rather than the other way around, search Alberta Lobbyist Registry for "Alberta Pharmacists" to see their 9 Oct 2024 semi-annual filing.

Kudos @ABPharmacists for the transparency.

For background, see @JenLeeCBC excellent reporting, especially this tweet and my 4 replies to it, showing how Min LaGrange gamed Alberta Purchasing Connection to only put out an unprecedented RFEI for this, not an RFP as she falsely claimed.

ICYMI, my request Friday to Minister @AdrianaLaGrange to recoup $49.4m from MHCare Medical/Atabay boondoggle.

Sorry to openly copy AB reporters, but questions at her pressers are so restricted.
@alanna_smithh @Jantafrench @ByMatthewBlack @gthomsonink @MBellefontaine @JenLeeCBC
@AdrianaLaGrange @alanna_smithh @Jantafrench @ByMatthewBlack @gthomsonink @MBellefontaine @JenLeeCBC I wasn't aware that on 10 Aug 2020, then-Education Minister Lagrange had fired a pre-emptive deceptive strike at Alberta's Ethics Commissioner Trussler about the IFR chlorine masks purchased within the previous two (2) weeks from a company in her riding.

rdnewsnow.com/2020/08/10/lag…
@AdrianaLaGrange @alanna_smithh @Jantafrench @ByMatthewBlack @gthomsonink @MBellefontaine @JenLeeCBC Complaint alleged the Minister lied by claiming her political staff were NOT involved.

Justice Trussler cannot address "moral integrity" aka lying.

She concluded the Minister was protected by political staff claiming they interfered behind her back.

ethicscommissioner.ab.ca/media/2809/lag… On August 10, 2020, she wrote to the Ethics Commissioner to pre-empt an investigation, as the information about Mr. Radford, owner of IFR, being a donor and constituent in her riding surfaced. She denied having connections to Mr. Radford.   She lied saying IFR was chosen purely on POC’s technical advice. She lied and said she only learned of IFR’s contract on Aug 8, after the press conference. She then tried to mislead the Ethics Commissioner saying none of her political staff were involved.  I would like a full investigation conducted regarding this conflict of interest, in contravention o...

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.

hpr-rps.hres.ca/mdi_results.ph…Screenshot of Health Canada database showing 289 results for "mhcare"
There are, as expected, MANY reports like this of Vanch mask problems.

Some mistakenly filed as PRIMED, but all correctly identifying importer MHCare Medical and/or the Beifa Group Chinese exporter printed on the box.

@John1MD @RajBhardwajMD Example of many Vanch mask reports
Examples of PRIMED masks assumed, but box identifying MHCare Medical or the Beifa Group Chinese exporter on the box.
Examples of no name listed for masks, but Beifa Group and/or MHCare Medical identified

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.

edmonton.citynews.ca/2024/01/10/opp…
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?

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
