Nate Pike broke this story on The Breakdown over a month ago. It is entitled Encore Presentation, The Skybox Network Exposed. After this aired, Nate was sued for $6 million dollars by the owner of MHCARE. Just another day from the UCP Corruption Handbook.
She’s going to try to throw some nobody underling under the bus. Expecting her to take any kind of responsibility for her actions is simply not the UCP way.
A couple of comments. It will be interesting to see what role, if any, did this entire AHS and procurement malfeasance play in the departure of Marshall Smith from the Premiers office. Second, it does trouble me that the report mentioned is being delivered direct to the Premier, especially when she has, as Mr Bossenkool points out, staked out a position of non responsibility for the goings on.
Isn't it coming up past 800 odd days since Duh-Duh-Danielle promised to "fix" healthcare in Alberta in a scant 90 days of her tenure as Premier?
Its refreshing (in a stubbing-a-toe/crushing-a-finger-in-a-car-door/falling-across-the-crossbar-of-my-bicycle way) to see the UCP continue the the tradition of cluelessness, self-dealing and rank incompetence in healthcare management, administration and policy formulation/execution from their PC precedents.
All the PCs ever got done on the file was endlessly gavotte with centralize/decentralize re-org shuffles and experiment with healthcare executive compensation models. The only difference is the real time establishment of a UCP adjacent private health structures to be ready - the plan plainly is to fuck up so badly and break it into so-many dysfunctional components that she has no qualms declaring "See! It doesn't work! We have to privatize!" Then its a hasty signing over of public assets for fractions of penny to preselected insider private sector actors in a quick non-minuted meeting.
C'mon Albertans - Shake this UCP bullshit out of your heads and broom these UCP idiots to the curb in the next provincial election. Re-electing them and expecting competence is the height of self harm!
As I had initially planned to take Saturday off, I was not impressed with Ms. Smith (or her communications team via her lawyers) decision to post a statement on the weekend. I'm glad it wasn't lost on anyone :)
Am certain the ‘Realities as stated by Ms Mentzelopolous within Her Lawsuit with be quite ‘specific & damning & encourage Ms Smith to Settle Immediately ! It’s very rare that entire Boards of Directors & Ms Mentzelopolous herself would be Appointed by The Premier & Her Government - only to Quickly Form the Opinion - they should be Publicly Dismissed !
Presumably Ms Smith & her fellow Elected Public Servants have Secured All Documents that might Validate they had Albertan taxpayers & voters - Best Interests At Heart.. if ‘not in mind somehow ! This will become very ugly - very quickly as well .. 🦎🏴☠️🍁
Jason Kenney ‘Design/Built & ‘Baked In & Installed - ‘with malice & Aforthought ! Secrecy & Unaccountability & his ‘blunt Version / ‘Vision of Harper’s hallowed alberta firewall’ superior snark.. & Ms Tom Flanagan’s ‘teacher’s Pet is now trying out ‘her personal ‘firewalleyed separatism.. & Stephen Harper now ‘advising’ pro bono AIMCO .. & th beat goes on.. & on.. 🦎🏴☠️🍁
Typical for "refomers', it is always someone else's fault:" the immigrant, they did it to me, i did nothing wrong" etc.
Hypocrites the lot. Accountability for Libs/NDP but us, impossible! We are the saviours, the chosen politicians who are pure of virtues, even said so on my radio shows. The "true" Canadians, we have Christian values. The bigoted social credit KKK, convoy group reborn. Soon she heads south, the better.
Danielle Smith doesn't know how to spell accountability. She lives in a quasi-MAGA quagmire and spouts only what her UCP handlers allow. Like Poillievre, Smith hasn't had a genuine decent thought in years.

There’s a reason I included a lot of “allegedly” in there.
People like Smith never take accountability. Time to step down you Traitorous MAGA lover
"(or her lawyer via her communications team)"
Based on the word choices, I think we're at the point where it's her communications team via her lawyers.
Ffs
Done
She’ll make a fine Fox News host soon.
As has always been her goal…

We have so many questions and she isn’t taking any.

Every (or her Communications Team via her lawyers) made me snort laugh.
I expect D’s next article to contain a great many “allegedly”s

In any self-respecting province she'd already be out of a job at the very least, after her PR campaign live from Mordor.
She is lying as usual. Don't believe her.
I do not believe her.
She fired Dr. Hinshaw. Twice.
Her claims that she is not involved directly or indirectly sound mythical.
Deny all you want. They will get to the bottom of it and you will be forced to step down in disgrace. Fitting end to traitous behavor.
