The office for Dale Nally, the minister of red tape reduction, says the husband of his chief of staff paid his own expenses. But documents obtained by the Opposition NDP indicate Gary Davidson didn’t reimburse his share of group transportation costs. edmonton.citynews.ca/2026/11…

The UCP falsely claims no expenses paid for the husband (and failed UCP candidate) of a chief of staff. They've now admitted he was on the "mission". Why, then, did they fold the tour cost into three, when it was four? westernstandard.news/alberta…

Why would so-called 'fiscal conservatives' sit on the sidelines while friends and spouses of a Minister get an 11-distillery bourbon booze cruise for free? It was more than $2000. oops! Taxpayers picked up the tab. Industry had to pay their way - why not this guy?

39M to plan to plan future maybe UCC’s? They pulled CEOs out to announce they’re going to get some planning started? UCP will probably just cancel this “planning” in the future, like they did w Edmonton’s desperately needed hospital! Cancelled it w no reprieve in sight!

We're investing $250 million to build and renew continuing care spaces and modernize seniors lodges across Alberta. That includes $200 million through the Continuing Care Capital Program and $50 million through the Seniors Lodge Modernization Program. Alberta's senior population continues to grow & local partners know best what their communities need. These investments will help turn that knowledge into new and improved spaces so seniors can stay close to their families, friends, and communities.

I’d be so embarrassed to make an announcement like this without a copy of the supposedly perfect report card already created and available to all stakeholders. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Why did Minister Dale Nally take his chief of staff's husband on the Kentucky booze cruise? What reason was the spouse of a staffer in official government photos other than this whole trip was a vacation and booze cruise?

Dan Williams, Evan Romanow, Mraiche, Prasad and Marshall Smith Dan Williams and Evan Romanow Their ties are strictly political, administrative, and heavily centered around the high-profile healthcare procurement scandal. Their roles and connections became public through the wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed by ousted AHS CEO, Athana Mentzelopoulos: Dan Williams: Minister of Mental Health and Addiction Dan Williams is a UCP Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) and the Minister of Mental Health and Addiction. The "Concerned" Call: According to sworn court documents filed by Mentzelopoulos, Minister Williams became intensely worried when AHS launched an internal forensic audit into the multi-million dollar contracts awarded to private clinics. The Alleged Link: Mentzelopoulos's lawsuit claims Williams was deeply concerned that the AHS investigation would uncover DIRECT, IMPROPER CONNECTIONS between various government officials, Mraiche and his company, MHCare Medical, regarding public purchasing. Williams has publicly denied these allegations, stating his only concern was ensuring public funds were managed properly. The Recovery Centre Contracts: Under Williams's ministry, over $100 million in provincial funding has been routed toward building addiction treatment facilities, such as the Tsuut'ina Nation and Enoch Cree recovery centres. Construction and supply networks tied directly to Mraiche's businesses have secured a dominant role in building these private properties and LEASING THEM BACK TO THE PROVINCE. Evan Romanow: Deputy Minister / Civil Servant Evan Romanow is a long-time senior provincial bureaucrat who SERVES as the Deputy Minister of Mental Health and Addiction UNDER Minister Williams. He is the grandson of former Saskatchewan NDP Premier Roy Romanow, but has worked within Alberta's conservative civil service since 2011. The Messenger: Romanow is the administrative bridge between the politicians and the health authority. On January 2, 2025, Romanow held a pivotal phone call with the AHS CEO. According to the lawsuit, Romanow was the person who EXPLICITLY warned Mentzelopoulos that Minister Williams was anxious about her forensic audit exposing "our good friend JP," procurement chief Jitendra Prasad, and Mraiche. The Paper Trail: Internal ministry emails reveal that Romanow DIRECTLY COORDINATED the transition of private real estate assets into provincial detox centres alongside contractors, frequently copying Eric Engler, the Chief of Staff who lived in the luxury house owned by Mraiche's sister, on the communications. Romanow later issued a statement confirming the phone call took place but claimed his only intent was to verify the timeline of the AHS review...1/

You are the justice minister. This is a political post. This is inappropriate. Stop politicizing your office and resign.

Lewis Semashkewich and Mraiche: Mraiche's brother-in-law, Mohamed "Mike" Eldassouki, is senior executive at MHCare Medical Corporation. Eldassouki partnered with Semashkewich to form the development branch, Melewka Construction Management Services, that was used to secure the recovery centre contracts. Eldassouki is the owner and primary principal of Melewka. According to court filings, Semashkewich alleges that Mraiche operated as the "hidden, extortionist directing mind" behind the recovery centre projects. The Money Funnel: Semashkewich claims he was forced to funnel over $11 million in project funds to Mraiche and his associates. He alleges that Mraiche and his brother-in-law, Eldassouki, intentionally engineered delays and withheld contract draws to squeeze payments out of Melewka Homes. Influence Peddling: Semashkewich's claim states that during a heated call over withheld money, Mraiche boasted of his deep political ties and threatened to use his government connections to completely pull all of Melewka Homes' projects. The "OWNED Officials: Semashkewich also alleged in court documents that Mraiche claimed he "owned" Aaron Barner, senior executive officer with the Métis Nation, responsible for negotiating the recovery centre contracts, and he used that leverage to halt project meetings until Melewka complied with financial demands. Mraiche and Eldassouki’s Counter-Claims: Mraiche, Eldassouki, and their legal teams have strongly denied all of Semashkewich's accusations, painting a completely different picture of the breakdown. The Forgery Allegation: Eldassouki launched a lawsuit alleging that Semashkewich walked into a bank using a forged share sale agreement to unlawfully seize control of Eldassouki's corporate records and bank accounts, illicitly draining $8.4 million. An Attempt to Evade Debts: Mraiche's defence maintains that his involvement in the construction projects was strictly limited to providing "casual, unofficial and informal business advice." He and his associates argue that Semashkewich fabricated the elaborate conspiracy claims out of financial distress to force the discontinuance of legitimate lawsuits and evade massive construction debts. Semashkewich, maintains that Mraiche used his brother-in-law's business AS A FRONT to secretly direct the projects and control the money. Current status: Eldassouki and Mraiche have strongly denied all of Semashkewich's counter-allegations, dismissing them as a fictional commercial distraction designed to cover up the theft of the $8.4 million. None of these civil claims have been proven in court, but Eldassouki's financial records are a primary target for the active RCMP and Auditor General forensic investigations." Surprise, surprise. What a tangled web of corruption and dishonesty that is our provincial government. I have sent two letters to investigate involved actors. @ABDanielleSmith You can lie, cheat and steal, but birds of a feather locked in a cage together seems to be the fate for the lot of you. The upside is, you can share stories about who scammed the most with your pals Pat King, Parker, Barber, Leech, et al. We're watching and prepared.

NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi was aware of serious issues with Calgary’s water system during his time as mayor but chose not to fix them. Instead, he pursued vanity projects while keeping his council and Calgarians in the dark. Now, Calgarians are left dealing with the consequences. Rural Albertans know that roads and water systems are essential to our communities. If Nenshi couldn't get the basics right in Calgary, why should Albertans trust him to lead the province?

BOMBSHELL REPORT: NENSHI WAS WARNED ABOUT CALGARY'S WATER CRISIS YEARS BEFORE IT HAPPENED. In 2016, then-Mayor Naheed Nenshi received an advance briefing identifying serious problems with Calgary's water utility. Yet he failed to share the report with city council, and Calgarians are paying the price today with repeated water main breaks and substantially increased water rates. If Nenshi couldn’t be trusted to handle warnings about the most critical infrastructure in Alberta’s largest city, how can he be trusted to run a province?

A young dad, with his son, has significant health issues. Like, he's really trying. He was asked to do this plan by income support. And he states he did this and more. Sends an email that confirms this. But still they cut him off. He calls me, shaken and feeling hopeless. He states he was told not to bother with a supervisor, as it wouldn't help(IT DOES). I'm meeting him on Monday. Until then, sending him funds for his son's food. He's also now looking at an eviction notice. @neudorf_ab The Minister and this government are cruel and unusual in the way they cut vulnerable families off supports, in my personal opinion. #abpoli #yyc #Lethbridge #Yeg

What else is Nenshi hiding from Albertans? 🤔 He needs to clear the air on this scandal, right now 📢 Albertans deserve better. #NeverVoteNenshi #NeverVoteNDP #NenshiWaterPipeScandal

Dale Nally was able to soak up the Kentucky whiskey but poor guy was 'too busy' to face the media, SO @ABDanielleSmith sent the UCP bully, @ABJasonNixon out to discredit the NDP & offer a cover story for his co-worker. Can it get any more juvenile??

Naheed Nenshi neglected serious concerns regarding Calgary’s water infrastructure, and residents are paying the price with repeated water main failures and the prospect of higher utility bills. Calgarians deserved better then, and they deserve answers now.

Naheed Nenshi neglected critical infrastructure as mayor, and today Calgarians are paying the price. An independent inspection found that Mayor Nenshi was provided with a report in 2016 identifying serious problems with Calgary’s water utility. The recommendations were there, and he ignored them. Calgarians deserve answers.

Some serious revelations today by MLA Samir Kayande regarding Minister Dale Nally’s travel expenses. Nearly $5,000 associated with a Kentucky bourbon-tasting trip, reportedly recorded under taxi services. And apparently, there was more than one tour! Accountability shouldn’t have political boundaries. It doesn’t matter whether you’re Conservative, NDP or otherwise. We should all be concerned about how taxpayer dollars are being spent. Samir does a good job laying out the concerns in this member’s statement. Have a listen. #ableg #abpoli #ucp #alberta #transparency #abtory #cdnpoli

@SearleTurton Should Albertans have been concerned when as Child Welfare Minister, 60 children died in govt care in one year? Yes, we would have been if you & your govt had been transparent with us. You hid it. BTW, Nenshi was 4 yrs old when those pipes were put in.
