I’m firmly of the opinion that the reason they’re so bad at this coverup is that they’re not worried about political consequences, they’re worried about criminal ones
If it was just political consequences they would have thrown a half dozen willing volunteers to the wolves months ago, and their scapegoats would already be enjoying their new jobs at various conservative think tanks and friendly corporations.
But they can’t do that because they’re all up to their necks in this. Even if someone was willing to take the legal fall, they can’t without disclosing so much evidence that it drags everyone else down anyways. Besides, I doubt Smith and LaGrange are the sorts to engender the sort of loyalty where someone would go to prison for them
So they shamble on, trying to make it go away because the consequences can’t get worse
... and the Plot thickens - with a number of sub-plots it seems. The intrigue! No wonder the Smith is droning on about tariffs & Trump and far-right podcasts & annexation and separation & yada, yada. Anything outrageous enough to distract from the dark side of her government corruption - 'allegedly'.
That article (April 2) was linked from Braid’s on Friday; Braid said it sounded like they were gearing up for another lawsuit so I clicked on it and was like “how did I miss this?”, and CBC wrote that they were sent the copy the week before, and who sent it to them. Which at least it made sense…
Anything to do with Danielle Smith is a huge fuck up. Called it on day one. I want to see them try to leave. Stop threatening they are going to do it. No one is asking them to stick around. Just go

I’m sure we’ll get to the bottom of it now that hardhitting investigative journalist David Staples is on the beat. He’s got awards don’t ya know.

Who the fuck voted for this crook! She is as corrupt and treasonous as they come. Get rid of this pile of trash.
