Breakenridge: Judge's report on AHS highlights need for more clarity The government is claiming some vindication, but there are enough unanswered questions here that this can’t be the final word on the matter.

calgaryherald.com/opinion/brea...

“Instead, the report from retired Judge Raymond Wyant has strengthened the case for a public inquiry. Whether the government can be convinced of that, however, is another story.”

Judge Wyant’s report on Danielle Smith’s #CorruptCare scandal does not exonerate her govt despite the extreme limitations placed on his investigation.

ABs, read the report for yourself ~ esp. p.4 that clearly outlines the limitations of Judge Wyant's investigation. If the Premier & the gang have nothing to hide, why set limitations? Smoke & mirrors. DON'T by fooled by "this clears us of any wrongdoing" spin. #publicinquirynow #ableg #abpoli

AHS lays off about 100 employees in corporate services AHS says it has started the “elimination” of approximately 100 filled and 300 vacant positions, mainly impacting corporate services.

Amazing!

After firing not one, but two, AHS boards and replacing many senior staff with UCP members, we have been able to root out the staff who are standing in the way of our procurement contract and privatization processes.

I think Albertans who have any clear thinking skills must conclude that Danielle Smith is empty of even the slightest modicum of integrity or conscience.
She is a liar who works only to benefit her donors & associates. No ethics. No morals.
She is just a wretched bag of shit.

Thank you to ALL the wonderful people who keep the spirit of better government and progressive values alive and strong.

This is a masterclass in bad faith. The UCP forecasted a $5B deficit to justify cuts. Then, they magically found an $8B surplus. Now, on the day of teacher negotiations, they're back to a $6.5B "deficit". Their numbers are a political tool, not a fiscal plan.

This from #ABNDP Sharif Haji, Shadow Minister, Affordability & Utilities:

Alt cont: Yesterday, my counsel was able to determine that an employee in your office had recently sent requests for me to meet with Judge Wyant. They were sent to someone who is not currently in the office and no attempts were made to contact anyone else.

A red emergency-style wall box modeled after a fire alarm, with bold white text reading: “PULL FOR PUBLIC INQUIRY.” Below this in a recessed black panel it says, “PULL DOWN” with a downward arrow. The design evokes urgency, suggesting a crisis that warrants immediate action through a public inquiry.

A large roadside billboard stands against a dramatic Alberta sunset. The billboard is bright yellow with bold black text that reads: “PREMIER SMITH CALL A PUBLIC INQUIRY NOW! — Alberta.” Above the sign, a red light bar glows with the words “EMERGENCY ALERT.” The billboard is elevated beside a highway, with cars passing below on a wide open prairie landscape.

A beige background frames a red rotary telephone. Above the phone, a black box contains cream-colored text that reads: “Alberta needs a PUBLIC INQUIRY. Danielle Smith continues with distractions.” Below the phone, black text states: “Pick it up. Speak up. Demand a public inquiry.” The image conveys a vintage aesthetic, using the phone as a metaphor for civic engagement and action.

UCPayToPlay: The Six Investigations 1. AHS Internal Review What It’s Doing: Checked if procurement rules were followed inside Alberta Health Services. Why It’s Not Enough: Internal. No public access. Findings went straight to government. 2. Auditor General What It’s Doing: Investigates financial mismanagement in contract awarding. Why It’s Not Enough: Can’t look at ethics or political interference or democratic failures. 3. Third-Party Judge Review What It’s Doing: Independent review. Report will be public. Reviewing procurement. Why It’s Not Enough: Scope limited by UCP. Ignores broader scandal and political interference. 4. Mentzelopoulos Lawsuit What It’s Doing: Former health leader is suing for wrongful dismissal tied to scandal. Why It’s Not Enough: A private legal matter. Could settle out of court. Doesn’t expose systemic failures. 5. Ethics Commissioner What It’s Doing: Investigating conflicts of interest or violations of ethics rules. Why It’s Not Enough: Narrow focus. GOV changed the rules midst wrongdoing. 6. RCMP Investigation What It’s Doing: Investigating whether criminal laws were broken. Why It’s Not Enough: Only covers crimes—misses ethics, politics, and public trust. WHAT THESE INVESTIGATIONS CAN’T DO— and why a public inquiry is necessary Each of these investigations serves a function, but they are piecemeal, fragmented, and limited in scope. Without a public inquiry, Albertans will never get: A full account of the scandal including how deep and broad the problems go. A public forum where key players are forced to testify under oath about who knew what and when. A comprehensive set of reforms to prevent future abuse. These six investigations are fragmented and limited. ➤ Only a public inquiry can connect the dots and uncover the full truth. Adapted in part from Jared Wesley’s “UCPayToPlay: The Case for a Public Inquiry,” Decoding Politics (Substack), March 6, 2025.

Wow. Today’s police force stunt was quite the distraction. Must be one hell of a public inquiry waiting to happen—if they’re trying this hard to keep us off the trail. We see it. We want it. We’re not letting it go. #abpoli #PublicInquiryNow #UCPayToPlay #CorruptCare #UCPCorruption #ABleg

We see the smoke. The alarm is pulled.
Now call the inquiry.
Albertans deserve the full truth—under oath, in public, with consequences.

Just like #JasonKenney, Smith & #UCP have only benefited their corporate supporters & donors while taking away any benefits from regular Albertans.

Below this line are two square photographs side by side. On the left: A weary, uniformed healthcare worker sits in a hallway, head in hand, visibly stressed and exhausted. On the right: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith stands smiling next to a well-dressed man at an event, appearing relaxed and composed. The bottom text states: “DANIELLE SMITH IS JUST PERFORMING” “She’s resting. They’re breaking.” The juxtaposition highlights the contrast between the overworked, under-supported frontline healthcare staff and the performative, media-facing posture of political leadership. The message implies a betrayal of public service workers, suggesting that those responsible for policy are insulated from the crisis they’ve helped create.

A side-by-side infographic comparing Alberta’s public and private healthcare sectors under Danielle Smith’s leadership. The heading reads: “ALBERTA’S HEALTHCARE SWITCHEROO” in bold red text. The left box (in red) is labeled “PUBLIC” and contains the following points with emojis: 🏥 Empty Operating Rooms 🩺 Staff shortages ⏳ Cancer waits 🔼 💵 Costs LESS but defunded The right box (in green) is labeled “PRIVATE” and lists: 💰 2X public cost $$$ 📉 Easy cases only 🚫 No emergencies 🔍 RCMP investigating Below the boxes is a summary line in black text: “Danielle Smith’s plan: Empty public hospitals 🔻 $$$ to private corps 🔻 YOU pay more” Followed by a red warning line: “Result: 9 out of 11 priority surgeries now wait LONGER ⏳📈 (including cancer).” The tone is sharply critical, suggesting that public hospitals are being underutilized and underfunded to justify outsourcing to more expensive private operators. The reference to RCMP involvement highlights legal or ethical concerns. The message accuses the government of worsening care and increasing costs through intentional policy shifts.

While hospitals drown in staff shortages, #DanielleSmith distracts with panels, branding, and blame games. Frontline workers are breaking—while she performs for cameras. This isn’t leadership. It’s evasion. 👩‍⚕️📉🎭

A surreal and striking image of a blue sky with a small yellow aircraft writing the words “CALL A PUBLIC INQUIRY” in large white letters made of skywriting smoke. The plane leaves a visible trail as it curves away from the final word. The clear blue sky and dramatic presentation suggest urgency and visibility—the kind of loud, public demand that cannot be ignored. The image uses the visual language of protest, aviation, and emergency messaging to demand accountability and transparency through a formal inquir

Stylized image of black-rimmed eyeglasses placed centrally on a sepia-toned background. Inside the left lens, the word “PUBLIC” is written in bold serif text, and in the right lens, “INQUIRY” appears. Faintly visible behind the lenses is the blurred text of official-looking documents, symbolizing scrutiny and transparency. Beneath the glasses, the caption reads in all caps: “WE SEE WHAT’S NEEDED.” The graphic suggests clarity, oversight, and the moral imperative of launching a public inquiry, possibly into government wrongdoing or mismanagement. The design evokes a sense of precision and watchfulness.

A photo-realistic green highway directional sign set along a rural Alberta highway under a bright blue sky. The sign displays the Alberta Highway 2 shield symbol and reads: “Public Inquiry” with an arrow pointing up and to the right, suggesting a turnoff or directional guidance. The message implies that a public inquiry is the correct and necessary path forward. The visual metaphor suggests this is the road Albertans should now take, with the inquiry being the next clear step toward truth, accountability, or justice.

An illustrated image of a large gold balance scale, heavily weighted to the left. On the left scale pan is a diverse crowd of Albertans—men, women, children, seniors—packed shoulder to shoulder, representing public demand. On the right pan sits a crumpled piece of paper labeled “UCP ANSWERS,” appearing feather-light by comparison. The title at the top reads: “ALBERTANS WEIGH IN — PUBLIC INQUIRY DEMANDED.” A subheading at the bottom reads: “The Dodgy Contracts Affair / CorruptCare Scandal.” The image satirizes the imbalance between public concern and inadequate government accountability, advocating for a formal public inquiry into alleged corruption or misuse of public healthcare contracts.

We see the Alberta Next Panel for what it is: a distraction from a real public inquiry and a dog whistle to separatists. No transparency. No accountability. Just vibes, deflection, and division. 👀🛑🐶📯

This isn’t transparency—it’s obstruction.
Only a full public inquiry can cut through the walls the UCP keeps building around the truth.
