Wow, she's doubling down. YouTube Link

She's taking one right from the Trump playbook even appointing her own DOGE. Even going to far as to somehow blame the NDP.

Update for additional information: This is officially a train wreck.

How long has the UCP been in power? So any inefficiency or problem with government operations they haven't found or dealt with yet is on them now.

On that note, how about a public inquiry into AHS contracts to private companies now? This might be somewhere to find a lot of wasted or misused public funds..

Alberta premier shuffles deputy ministers amid AHS controversy; requesting third-party investigation​

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is standing behind her health minister amid allegations of corruption in Alberta Health Services (AHS), announcing a shuffle of deputy ministers and a third-party investigation into the health authority’s procurement practices on Wednesday.


Maybe the UCP thinks people don't know the difference between ministers and deputy ministers?

I believe he was one of three mentioned by the former AHS CEO as trying to push for inflated private contracts. One already left previously (for reasons that we may not know), so that leaves the Minister of Health in the hot seat.

What’s $300,000 of taxpayers’ money among friends?

What is your point here? The representatives quoted include:

1 premier
1 minister
2 FNMI chiefs
1 mom
3 executive directors of social orgs.

Would you say the same thing if they didn't consult with indigenous groups?

Tailor made for Indigenous folks???

Do you mean the same Indigenous folks dealing with 200 years of trauma imposed by foreign and federal governments and their programs designed to "take the Indian out of the Indian" while they stole Indian land?

Do you mean the same Indigenous folks that includes residential school survivors and their descendants, entire nations deprived not only of their land but of adequate health care and education and legal status and clean water?

Do you mean the same Indigenous folks who stand to benefit the most if the centers are successful in helping them deal with the demons we have cursed them with?

Of course the centers will be open for all Albertans and not just Indigenous folks That sharing of the experience as equals (something that doesn't happen often enough to enough of us) will be good for everyone, Indigenous or not.

There certainly is "an elephant in the room" here but I don't think it's what you're thinking it is.
