Nenshi - Didn't you learn anything from that time you were found to have broken the law trying to interfere in the legal process?

Dani - I control the police now!

So uh...

Remember yesterday when the NDP revealed yet another sus real estate deal involving Mraiche?

Today they brought it up again, and they brought up Marshall Smith too...

Reporter - Is it becoming common practice to use Legislative powers to override the courts?

Amery -Not common practice. We just do it all the time now when we want our way or we want to limit free speech. The courts can still issue rulings. Whatevs.

Reporter - Isn't the UCP all about free speech? How do you justify banning words that political parties can use in their name?

Amery - Look, we're big business now and we intend to keep our monopoly. You'll get one Conservative Party and like it!

Ok..

So...

Multiple referendum questions asking varying versions of the same question are allowed and we can't tell if Alberta's Justice Minister who just made himself immune from law society consequences knows what "piggybacking" means.

This day...

🚨BREAKING!🚨

The NDP revealed yet another real estate deal involving Sam Mraiche and seemed to raise concerns he was might have been given the heads up to buy the building by someone in government!

If you watch 2 minutes today, make this it!

Reporter - If you used the notwithstanding clause top avoid increasing funding, aren't you admitting education is underfunded?

Nicolaides - Whoawhoawhoa, I only brought 1 talking point today...uh... we're awesome and the NDP suck! Woooo!

Nicolaides doubled down on the reason for using the notwithstanding clause today...

"Look, if we had let someone come in and objectively look at how underfunded education is in Alberta, it could have cost the government BILLIONS!"

Nicolaides when asked about the leaked email from UCP Martin Long stating that part of the reasons for invoking the notwithstanding clause was financial...

Well yeah, it's super about the money but also we don't want to be accountable to anyone who isn't elected.

Pancholi - Cool you're cancelling the contracts, but Marshall Smith's fingerprints are all over so much of this, including his pressuring to have the new contracts signed!

Lagrange - What... what day is this? Where was I? Why won't people talk to me?

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
December 3, 2025 at 1:42 AM
Nenshi - So are you messing with recall or what's the deal?

Smith - Yeah, we're making some changes on Thursday, but what I really want to talk about is how much the NDP hurt the coal companies.

For real. That was her pivot.

Nenshi - So why were you cool with hiring 5 relatives of Mraiche (and Amery)... Didn't that raise any concerns for you?

Smith - I met with Mr Mraiche and I listened to him!

(That's kinda the concern tho)

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
December 3, 2025 at 1:22 AM
Smith today - Sam Mraiche never wanted to talk about anything to do with business with me, he only wanted to talk about racism, encampments and business!

For real, watch the clip.

In yet another consolidation of power...

Today Mickey Amery announced that using the fear of home invasions as cover, he was giving himself control over what criminal prosecutions go ahead.

The elected politician with no prosecution experience...

From the DM's...

UCP MLA says via email that the decision to use the notwithstanding clause was not just about getting students into classrooms...

The UCP were worried that arbitration would cost them "hundreds of millions, potentially billions".

In another almost certainly unrelated turn of events...

It was Marshall Smith who lived in a luxury home owned by Sam Mraiche's sister!

December 2, 2025 at 4:11 AM
Huh.

Marshall's name came up in the other Globe story as being the source of the tickets offered to the chief of staff of Vancouvers mayor on behalf of Mraiche...

That's a wild coincidence!

No pictures of Rob in any of the game pictures yet.

WOW!

Danielle Smith looks like she's getting ready to throw someone under the bus!

When the Globe asked how Sam Mraiche ended up in an elite advisors suite on election night, she punted it to her advisors...

Among them Rob Anderson & Marshall Smith

As the UCP vote to adopt an anti-fluoride policy as a party...

It's a good time to remember that this is the official government position on fluoride as of...

A whole 2.5 years ago.

WOW!

In March, Danielle Smith justified not calling for a public inquiry in part because her new right hand man...

(former #YEG Police Chief, Dale Mcfee)

had looked into the corrupt care scandal

The same one who the Globe showed was partying with Sam Mraiche!

Here's what the Judge himself said he was allowed to investigate...

You would think that Lagrange would have been made aware of the investigation that was going on in her own ministry...
December 1, 2025 at 12:24 AM
Did Adriana Lagrange lie to cover up connections with the "Corrupt Care" scandal and recovery Alberta?

Because back in March she was asked if Judge Wyants report would look into those concerns, and she said he would.

But he said he wasn't allowed to...
