I can't stand what the PC party has become. That being said, I'm not really seeing the huge issue here.
It appears that no laws have been broken, and the government's rationale for choosing this particular law firm seems sound. They specialize in this type of litigation, and in principle I like the idea of not hiring a firm that could potentially be tied up in issues for the other provinces, when the only province I care about as far as my tax dollars are concerned is Alberta.
The optics are bad, but I highly doubt even Redford would jeopardize her position to get more money for her (presumably) already wealthy ex-husband.
