We caught the UCP red-handed.
We asked Public Safety & Emergency Services for any correspondence between Min. Ellis & the Edmonton Police Commission.
They told us - twice - there was none.
We asked the Commission & got 130 pages including 5 letters signed by Ellis. #abpoli

Alberta has collected more than $1 billion in cannabis revenue.
That's the most, per capita, of all provinces and territories.
By far.
It's nearly quadruple what Quebec has collected, per person.
