Today on "Danielle Smith lies a lot and very, very easily about unimportant details just to make a story sound better..."

Earlier today she tweeted out this picture, claiming that it was from the opening of a new recovery community...

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image It seems weird that you would have a crowd that big for a recovery community opening...

Especially when it appears to be in downtown Calgary.

Where they haven't opened any recovery communities.

But that's where this note gets to be important.

Today, the @albertandp had quite the get!

A briefing memo on the future of pharmacare for Albertans.

If you’re expecting Smith to deliver on her promises of “we’ll opt out of the federal program to make pharmacare better”…

This ain’t it.

Especially if you’re a senior.

/1 Image So what are the coles notes?

Basically, the UCP seem to be believing that seniors have access to meds that prevent health conditions from getting worse is just costing too darn much.

So what if, just like the did with AISH, they create a new program where seniors get less!

Since Smith and the UCP have announced a delayed deadline for the first “CorruptCare” investigation report…

We thought it might be fun to offer up a mini-report tonight!

So strap in, cause this gets wild!

/1 Image Today, the Globe & Mail dropped a story about two characters who have had their toes in both AHS MHCare waters.

Allegedly, Jitendra Prasad was working both sides of the fence when Alberta Surgical Group was trying to get new contracts after being turned down.

Scoop!

Danielle Smith says that she wants to bring a Provincial Police force because the RCMP can't keep boots on the ground.

But what about the Alberta Sherrifs?

We filed a FOIP and you can come along for the ride!

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Going back to 2024, the RCMP called out Smith for presenting inaccurate vacancy numbers.

Here's that story via CTV.

Ok then.

Let's take a look at the great "Ali" UCP scandal of 2025!

Yesterday a judge found 6 people in contempt for irregular donations to the UCP.

This touched off a bit of a firestorm.

Let's unpack it!

With a twist!

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image The issue is that there are 6 individuals who refused to cooperate into an elections Alberta investigation...

From Canlii, here's the Cole's notes.

It is a sad state in Alberta politics.

Just over a week ago, we asked our audience to ignore an account that was set up clearly to troll us and harass a journalist and private citizen.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Since that time there have been multiple coincidences that suggest some connection between an individual known to “fix” in politics, that account and another individual.

So remember the lawsuit launched by Danielle Smith's former chief of staff Marshall Smith?

Where's he's suing both former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopolous and the Globe and Mail?

The statements of defense have been filed!

Let's take a look!

Thread!

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image It's worth remembering that the defamation claims against Mentzelopoulos seem to hinge entirely on what was included in her statement of claim against the government in her wrongful dismissal case...

Which a few legal beagles have already said can't be ruled as defamatory.

The Jasper report has 9 key themes and 23 recommendations.

But Danielle Smith has taken issue with one of those themes, claiming the town of Jasper owes her an apology.

But again, the Streisand effect strikes and Dani has trouble truthing!

Let’s take a look!

/1 Image First, let’s establish some timelines!

Fortunately, the report does that very early on.

The report clearly demonstrates that the first fires inside the town of Jasper were reported on July 24th at roughly 6 PM.

The Alberta Prosperity Project (who Danielle Smith called her "Plan B") has released their "fully costed" (it's not) fiscal plan for a nation of Alberta.

There's a lot to unpack in this numerical train wreck, but today let's focus on just 1 piece...

Their immigration policy

/1 Image Because in the country of Alberta, individual value would be determined by points.

Want to move to Alberta?

You have to meet the prescribed number of points.

Danielle Smith claimed on June 24th, 2025 that she hadn’t seen Sam Mraiche of MHCare in “over a year”.

Strap in for a special Stampede Sneak a peak of “Danielle Smith can’t truth on demand!”

Last year, Last Door Recovery who have played an integral role in bringing Marshall Smith’s vision for “The Alberta Model” held a Sober Stampede!

Trooper was there!

Smith was confronted on the lack of lobbyist status for Sam Mraiche and MHCare at today's presser.

She seemed to claim that because he didn't have direct contracts with government that it was not a problem.

Let's go down that rabbit hole, shall we?

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli While neither Mraiche or MHCare are registered as lobbyists...

Alberta Surgical Group not only is, but they're using the finance ministers relative to lobby the finance minister and Smith among others...

From the sworn affidavit by the former AHS CEO…

One of the peculiar inclusions in the affidavit is the inclusion of corporate records for two companies…

Melewka Homes Ltd and Melewka Construction Management Services Ltd.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image

Melewka Construction Management Services appears to have utilized one of Sam Jaber’s accounting firms for their corporate records.

Sam Jaber was appointed by Danielle Smith to Invest Alberta & reportedly gifted her skybox tickets.

He has also been Sam Mraiches accountant.

So…

Remember how the Globe & Mail reported that the man in charge of the $80 million children’s medication procurement had an MhCare email address while working for AHS?

His name was Jitendra Prasad btw.

There’s potentially a LOT more to it.

Thread! This is from the AHS CEO’s affidavit that was filed just a few days ago.

If authentic, it appears to be that email chain.

Special FOIP Thread!

Remember how Free Market politician Danielle Smith promised that she would use the publicly funded ATB to make religious financial products available, even though they're already available through the free market?

Strap in!

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Given that the direction that was given to ATB means that a taxpayer funded crown corporation will be limiting return on investment to provide religious products, we wanted to know how this came to be!

So we filed a FOIP!

This is the second picture we recieved.

We have also confirmed it is from a Facebook post Sinclair posted today.

It appears to show Sinclair, his family…

(We redacted the kids faces)

And who is that in the middle?

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image Why that appears to be…

- Becca Polak, then comms director for Danielle Smith,
- Marshall Smith, then Chief of Staff to Danielle Smith
- Mickey Amery, then and still Alberta Justice Minister!

That’s kinda wild, right?

There’s some stunning info in the new @ParklandInst report on surgeries in Alberta…

And it seems pretty clear that private for profit surgeries are choking out the public system.

(Link will be in last post)

Thread!

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image To start with, procedures in privately owned, for profit but funded with taxpayer dollars have increased by 55%.

Sounds good right?

The payments of taxpayer dollars have gone up 179%!

179%!

And procedures are costing 79% more!

Strap in!

Because there’s a lot!

/1 Back in the early days of the pandemic, hundreds of millions of dollars of PPE and masks from a company that previously had worked in oilfield.

Allegedly, some of those masks gave healthcare workers rashes and made them sick…

As promised here is Day 1 of “A Document a Day!”

Or…

When is “fully paid up front”…

Not?

Here, we have a recently completed FOIP we did where we asked for a list of everything AHS has ever purchased from MHCare!

There’s a lot of stuff!

/1


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image Did you know about the millions of COVID tests? 

(We didn’t)

Maybe that explains why some tests were branded so much like the Parol?

There are good people still in government.

How do we know?

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.

#abpoli

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.

So…

Since we’re all living in the end times now…

And we know that media “outlets” and content creators are getting money from the UCP and the provincial government…

It feels like maybe it’s time to talk about Mark from Toronto.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image Because…

We have some questions.
