LOL didn't Smith just appoint Allison Redford to the board of Invest Alberta? What a coincidence.
Edmonton Journal: Alberta premier defends ministers accepting Oilers playoff tickets from Parol importer
Quote:
Smith made the comments Friday in response to a story published late Thursday by the Globe and Mail, that described how Smith attended a playoff game in Vancouver alongside B.C. Premier David Eby courtesy of a board member of Invest Alberta, the Crown corporation tasked with drawing investment to the province.
The story also states that multiple cabinet ministers attended playoff games in the box of MHCare, the company that imported Parol in late 2022 and early 2023.

I would need to be really committed to grifting to accept tickets to a Canucks-Oilers playoff game. I can't think of anything worse than watching those two teams with a bunch of politicians and lobbyists.

“As I understand it, all of the rules have been followed,” Smith said at a news conference Friday.
“I have an expectation that every elected person is going to be able to do their disclosures appropriately.”
She added that she was seeking advice from the ethics commissioner about if any rules around disclosure need changed.

LOL. Are there any rules we may still be getting caught up in? Let me know and we'll get rid of those, too.
Go ahead UCP voters, please justify this.

The Breakdown says this Smith scandal appears to be much, much worse and more could come to light by October (see the thread of tweets) ...

The Breakdown says that the turd should hit the turbine by late October. UCP leadership review is November 2. That’s a long time to wait, but I’ll be patient if it means that the UCP gets shattered to pieces.

Alberta conservatives falling apart midway through their term? I'm just completely shocked! It only happens every single time for the last two decades

Unfortunately they seem to have a limitless supply of leaders who are just as bad or worse than the last one,

Come on guys, the next replacement might actually be totally reasonable this time. It will be unfair to judge them based on how they clean up this mess. They definitely deserve to have their own full term. It's only fair.

Time to join the UCP and vote for the least worst candidate.

Kind of fishy if they want to wait 3 months to release.

If you read the rest of the thread it sounds like he's turned it over to real journalists, recognizing it's not really his specialty. He's given them until October to report on it, and if not, feels the public should know anyway. Seems pretty responsible of him, actually.
Unlike Smith, who reads half a tweet about something Trudeau might maybe do, and issues a whiny sniveling press release from the GoA within 30 minutes.

Honestly, I believe her.
Not that she didn't do anything wrong, just that she doesn't have any idea why it IS wrong.
I mean, what are the chances THIS is the part of governing that she does understand properly?
