Getting a little big for your britches there, Danielle. ####in' premiers. You elect them once and they think they run the country. You want to be PM? Go run for it(please don't though). Until then, stay in your lane.

What would Carney's response be?

"Eff off and give Shapiro the 2 finger salute for me!"

[Senator Clay Davis]

This Bus Tits + PP combo might permanently crush conservatism in Canada. Just move to Florida already.

It's almost breathtaking how effective grievance politics can be when your electorate has the critical thinking skills of a week-old tuna fish sandwich.

She is such a piece of s***. We’re facing an economic crisis here and she’s already trying to pick fights with Carney over the same old tired bull***? God I hate her so much. Just shut the f*** up Danielle, and stay in your goddamn lane.

Her damn lane is a one-lane highway to the U.S.

Maybe she should try diplomacy?

Diplomacy would be PM Carney not giving her a bitch slap when she read that to him.

At this point I consider Danielle Smith a foreign agent. She has done nothing but make lives worse for Albertans while catering to the whims of a hostile foreign power

What has Smith been promised by Trump and Putin to sell us out? Must be pretty big.

Meet Governor Smith of the great state of Canada.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Add ole Smitty to the list of Trump and Musk who can just die.

[Drak]

Btw it doesn’t matter who you are and what office you hold. Treason is treason. How did we used to deal with traitors? I know how the US dealt with the Rosenbergs.

Maybe citizenship without the regular $5-million fee.

Former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos has filed a response letter. We have received an alleged copy. To say that it has bombshell allegations is a wild understatement.

On January 2, 2025, Mentzelopoulos talked to Romanow. Romanow said the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Dan Williams, was "very concerned" about the AHS internal investigations and the forensic audit, including the investigation of "our good friend JP" (JP being a reference to Prasad). Romanow said that Minister Williams was concerned that the investigation could lead to potential connections between various government officials and Sam Mraiche and MHCare Medical around AHS procurement issues. Romanow told Mentzelopoulos that his Minister was: "freaked out about any potential connectivity or any exposure that there may be directly or indirectly to government through through [sic] AHS" Romanow then asked Mentzelopoulos in respect of Deputy Minister of Health Tremblay: "are they saying to back off and tamp stuff down on that front?" Mentzelopoulos confirmed to Romanow that she had received the December 23, 2024, letter from Assistant Deputy Minister of Health Nickerson instructing AHS to stop the investigation into CSFs and transfer all related files to Alberta Health. Romanow then discussed the development of recovery communities and the political involvement and direction around that part of the healthcare "refocusing". Romanow told Mentzelopoulos: "There's essentially now, I assume it's the minister who's hearing from his constituents, but he's freaked out because the connections with Metis Nation of Alberta, the builder that they've got building the recovery community with MNA, is the same builder with three others. And it's, it's connected to Sam as well. And with this Aaron Barner, who's with Metis Nation of Alberta, who's there in the pictures at the Oilers game and stuff." and "So this is the thing that freaks me out. I definitely know Marshall was involved on that side, which you know, then makes me wonder about his integrity, or standing on anything else. If, if I know he, he thought that was, it was almost his idea. Oh, my God. So it potentially does point over.
