Guthrie just resigned from cabinet, on the first day of session too. Wtf

His letter cites the reasoning as:

• He has repeatedly voiced concerns regarding GoA procurement practices
• Bill 13 (establishing a financial oversight committee) failed to pass, which he had proposed
• Inconsistences and inefficiencies in procurement processes

I would also flag that Paragraph 3, he wrote "Minister of Infrastruture", which is not a great thing to misspell.

The Breakdown has raised close to $200,000 for its Legal Defense Fund against this shameful disgusting SLAPP suit. Please throw them a few bucks!

Yeah... I feel like $200,000 is enough funds to raise a good defense. (Source: Not a lawyer, but used to be one!)

But he is fighting Mraiche -a person with deep pockets. Every dollar helps!

She said the treatment centres are to be located in Edmonton and Calgary and have 150 beds each. Their funding is to be included in the budget on Thursday.

No word on who is building or designing.

So Airdrie is not going to get its health centre

Not any time soon! Wowzers! Wonder how long before Guthrie is declared “missing?”

Just that it will open in 2029.

No, despite her best efforts to create distractions - bringing up treatment centers, attacks of Federal leadership candidates, this scandal keeps popping up.

Its unfortunate that the Minister who seemed to have more integrity here has been the first to resign, but that also says something about this government, doesn't it?

"Oh damn, we're contravening our own legislation!"

"Not to worry, we'll just retroactively change the legislation!"

A guy couldn't even make this sh!t up.
