Alberta Law Foundation sees 2 directors removed, mass resignation in wake of new government powers

Justice Minister Mickey Amery is attacking the foundations upon which the Justice System is built upon with a series of power grabs on behalf of the same UCP members responsible for bringing Albertans CorruptCare.

Albertans will recall that Justice Minister Mickey Amery has close ties with the infamous Sam Mraiche, and the CorruptCare Scandal. I would note that the Scandal, and its subsequent damage to the Alberta Healthcare system, continues to rock Albertans to this very day. Worse, those implicated in the Scandal continue in key roles of government.

The Minister may now be seen grabbing for power from within the Alberta Law Foundation, an organization that notably handles the funding for many Justice system adjacent services that include Women’s Shelters, Pro Bono legal advice, and other support systems that are intended to help the vulnerable seek further help.

What is troubling here is this statement:

Jenkins’s statement said the Law Society of Alberta made its decision to replace their foundation board representatives “entirely independent of the government.” She added that the ministry believes the foundation will provide an update in the coming days about the steps it’s recently taken.

Now remember earlier in Nov 2025 when two senior Crown prosecutors were also suddenly sacked without notice. I suggest that Minister Amery carried out the same attack:

“The recent actions of the government highlight the need for our members to have employment protections that insulate them from losing their employment without articulated cause,” the statement says.

“Without this protection, Crown prosecutors are susceptible to being dismissed from their employment for improper reasons.”

At the legislature on Thursday, Justice Minister Mickey Amery said there was “no government involvement whatsoever” in the senior Crowns’ departures. He said Dale McFee, the former Edmonton police chief who is now head of the Alberta Public Service, also “had absolutely nothing to do” with it.

Dale McFee, of course, was also tied to Sam Mraiche.

American Horror Story: Un visage emblématique parle enfin de la saison 13

Après plusieurs années d’absence, Evan Peters annonce son retour dans l’univers d’American Horror Story. La saison 13 promet de réunir un casting exceptionnel, mêlant anciens favoris et nouvelles stars, pour un « greatest-hits » terrifiant qui devrait ravir les fans. La production débutera bientôt pour une diffusion prévue le 31 octobre sur FX.

Un retour très attendu pour Evan Peters

La star retrouve Ryan Murphy

Evan Peters, figure emblématique de la série d’anthologie créée par Ryan Murphy et Brad Falchuk, s’apprête à reprendre son rôle dans la treizième saison d’American Horror Story. L’acteur, qui a participé à la première saison Murder House en 2011 et à plusieurs saisons jusqu’à Double Feature en 2021, explique que son retour est motivé par l’opportunité de retravailler avec Ryan Murphy et de retrouver ses collègues des saisons précédentes.

Un casting réuni pour une saison « greatest hits »

Peters souligne que cette saison 13 réunit un véritable « alumni » : Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe et Leslie Grossman seront tous de la partie. L’Emmy winner confie son enthousiasme à l’idée de découvrir les scènes écrites par Murphy et d’explorer les interactions entre tous ces visages emblématiques de la série.

Jessica Lange de retour : une surprise pour tous

Une apparition inattendue

Jessica Lange, qui n’avait plus participé à la série depuis 2015 — hormis un bref passage dans la saison 8 Apocalypse — fait un retour spectaculaire. Son personnage Constance, la mère du rôle de Tate interprété par Peters, avait marqué les esprits dès la première saison. Lange avait à plusieurs reprises nié tout retour, estimant avoir donné le meilleur d’elle-même dans ses premières saisons.

Un casting renforcé par Ariana Grande

À ce casting d’anciens se joint Ariana Grande, qui jouera pour la première fois dans la série. La star de la musique est une fan de longue date d’AHS et a déjà collaboré avec Evan Peters dans le clip We Can’t Be Friends sorti en 2024. Son intégration promet d’apporter une dimension nouvelle et inattendue à la saison, mêlant horreur et notoriété musicale.

La production et les attentes des fans

Début du tournage imminent

Les rumeurs indiquent que le tournage de la saison 13 débutera dès le mois prochain, pour une diffusion programmée à l’occasion d’Halloween, le 31 octobre, sur FX. Les fans de longue date de la série sont particulièrement impatients de voir comment les personnages emblématiques interagiront dans ce contexte « greatest hits ».

Une saison entre nostalgie et nouveautés

Cette saison 13 ne se contente pas de ressusciter d’anciens personnages : elle entend créer de nouvelles intrigues et dynamiser la série avec l’arrivée de visages contemporains comme Ariana Grande. Les spectateurs peuvent s’attendre à des rebondissements, de l’horreur classique et des moments de tension, tout en profitant de la nostalgie des saisons passées.

Une relation privilégiée entre Peters et Murphy

Une collaboration fructueuse

Evan Peters explique que sa collaboration avec Ryan Murphy a toujours été l’une des principales raisons de son engagement dans la série. Le duo a déjà travaillé sur de nombreux projets à succès, et leur complicité artistique semble renforcer l’anticipation des fans autour de cette saison 13.

Un casting exceptionnel et un enjeu créatif

Réunir autant d’anciens acteurs d’AHS représente un défi créatif mais aussi un enjeu majeur pour Murphy et Falchuk. L’alchimie entre les personnages historiques et les nouveaux venus promet de créer un mélange unique d’émotion, de frisson et d’humour noir, signature d’American Horror Story.

Le retour d’Evan Peters et de Jessica Lange, associé à l’arrivée d’Ariana Grande, promet une saison 13 d’American Horror Story hors norme. Les fans retrouveront des personnages emblématiques tout en découvrant de nouvelles intrigues palpitantes. Cette saison, prévue pour le 31 octobre sur FX, s’annonce comme un rendez-vous incontournable pour les amateurs d’horreur et de suspense.

Who is Sam Mraiche? Inside Alberta’s health care controversy

https://archive.is/i5cR3

The Globe and Mail’s Tom Cardoso, Carrie Tait, Mark Mackinnon, and Stephanie Chambers have the deep dive on Sam Mraiche. I’ll include some highlights, but this deserves a good read because it provides an overview with additional information about some of the relationships between Sam Mraiche, Danielle Smith, Jitendra Prasad, and Mickey Amery.

Her former chief of staff, Marshall Smith, hired multiple relatives of Mr. Mraiche at the same time as he was living in a home owned by one of Mr. Mraiche’s sisters.

“All of my family is in Canada now,” said Jamil Omairi, a pharmacist in the nearby town of Lala, another springboard for people destined for Alberta. Mr. Omairi is related to Mickey Amery, Alberta’s justice minister, himself a long-time friend and relative of Mr. Mraiche.

“All the young people here, people between 16 and 20, they have two ways to go,” he said. “If they find work, they stay. If there’s no work, they travel, and Brazil and Canada are the first destinations.”

Mraiche may be a capable import/exporter, but his world view could be mercenary. An exchange between Mraiche and BTNX, a supplier of COVID rapid tests, highlights this view.

The following week, Mr. Mraiche proposed a solution: He did “a lot of business” in Turkey, he explained, and suggested the BTNX executive use those contacts to obtain additional tests.

Mr. Mraiche also returned to the idea of diverting tests, this time from the federal government. “They’re really going to notice that a million is missing?” he asked.

“They will, yes,” responded Mr. Sunderani.

As deliveries fell further and further behind, Mr. Mraiche, who told Mr. Sunderani he was under intense pressure from Mr. Prasad, became increasingly frustrated.

“Do you know what you’re doing to me, Iqbal?” Mr. Mraiche said in an early February call. “I don’t only sell rapid test kits. I’m one of the biggest constructors here, too. Do you know what you’ve done to me? I’ve had so much mud thrown on my face, it’s not even funny.”

“You better hope there’s another wave that needs rapid tests,” he continued later in the call.

“Sam, that’s – that’s a bad thing to hope for,” Mr. Sunderani said.

“Is it? Me and you are in the business.”

“Sam, you know what? At the end of the day I don’t know about you, but I’ve made enough money. I don’t want to wish –”

“Has Jeff Bezos made enough money yet?”

“I don’t care who Jeff Bezos is,” Mr. Sunderani replied. “He has – I mean, I don’t want to wish –”

“No one’s wishing anything. It’s just going with the flow,” Mr. Mraiche said.

A month after that call, BTNX sued MHCare for $7.5-million, alleging Mr. Mraiche’s business failed to pay for more than 200,000 test kits and refused to pay for a truckload it received in error. MHCare countersued for $62.5-million, alleging BTNX overcharged, caused the company to lose money and tarnished its reputation. The two companies remain locked in litigation, and neither party’s allegations have been proven in court.

By the spring of 2022, the government’s response to the pandemic left Premier Jason Kenney battered. A scant majority of United Conservative Party members supported him in a leadership review in May, 2022, and he agreed to step down after the party selected a replacement.

Danielle Smith, then a party leadership hopeful, campaigned on COVID-19 grievances, railing against mask mandates and vaccine passports. Within a few months, she’d established herself as a front-runner.

A copy of Ms. Smith’s private calendar obtained by The Globe shows she took meetings during the campaign with everyone from physicians to executives – including Sam Mraiche.

In August, 2022, she was scheduled to dine at his north Edmonton home, the calendar shows.

Five days later, she was booked for a 30-minute Zoom call with Mr. Mraiche and Mr. Prasad, who retired from Alberta Health Services in the spring but stayed on as a consultant.

Ms. Smith, Mr. Prasad and Mr. Mraiche did not respond to questions about the meetings.

Details of Premier’s ties to businessman underscore need for public probe, Alberta NDP says

https://archive.is/YP3IY

The Globe and Mail’s Carrie Tait, Tom Cardoso, and Matthew Scace, reveal that Sam Mraiche, an alleged central figure in the CorruptCare scandals, had deeper ties to Premier Smith than previously acknowledged. I’ll include the highlights from the article, but it’s worth a read.

The Globe’s investigation, published Saturday, revealed that Mr. Mraiche’s connections to the governing United Conservative Party are more extensive than previously reported.

Ms. Smith, speaking to reporters at the United Conservative Party’s annual meeting in Edmonton on Saturday, maintained that she treated Mr. Mraiche just as she would any other executive.

“I have always said that I have seen him socially a handful of times, as I have with many, many individuals who want to do business with our government.”

In a letter MHCare sent to the government in April, it said: “The unspectacular truth is that Mr. Mraiche’s interactions with government, those in elected office and senior staff fit entirely within the established parameters of typical government relations for the CEO of a commercial entity.”

The investigation, for example, found that Mr. Mraiche joined Ms. Smith’s inner circle in a hotel suite to watch the provincial election results in May, 2023.

“When you are waiting for the results to come in, especially in a close race like it was in 2023, you are surrounded only by [your] absolute closest advisers,” Mr. Nenshi said in an interview Sunday. Calgarians elected Mr. Nenshi as their mayor three times before he became leader of the NDP last year.

The Globe’s story on Saturday revealed that Ms. Smith’s schedule included a dinner at Mr. Mraiche’s home and a Zoom call with him and a former Alberta Health Services procurement official before she became Premier.

Further, newly obtained photos show Ms. Smith, five cabinet ministers, and senior political staff with Mr. Mraiche in a box suite during the Edmonton Oilers playoff run in 2024.

Licensed Practical Nurses at AHS are preparing for a Strike

AUPE, Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, announced that Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) couldn't reach an agreement with Alberta Health Services, and
served strike notice. Over 16,000 LPNs will be on strike, but 78% of LPNs will continue to work during the strike as per Essential Services Agreement.

Note: Strike does not include Registered Nurses (RNs). Decision to strike was due to mismatch between the pay, and the increasing responsibilities of Licensed Practical Nurses hired by Alberta Health Services.

"This would help close the gap that has grown between RNs and LPNs, which is increasingly important when you consider our expanding scope of practice." reads on AUPE's
strike notice page.

More information can be found at AUPE's
AHS Strike page.

Alberta's bid to privatize lab services wasted more than $100M: auditor general

The UCP continues its siege of Alberta’s systems. The Minister of Health is noted as restricting the Auditor’s access to information, and interfered with the Auditor’s ability to complete his investigation. The UCP has publicly disarmed the Office of the Auditor General.

From the CBC’s Taylor Lambert:

The report from Auditor General Doug Wylie highlights many issues faced during the investigation, including a lack of co-operation from key officials, obstruction of information by AHS and the province, and the destruction of evidence sought by the auditor general.

The provincial government said the DynaLife contract would save millions of dollars a year, but instead cancelled it less than a year later after numerous issues with service delivery and DynaLife’s own financial problems.

The province ultimately purchased DynaLife in 2023 for nearly $100 million and absorbed it into the public provider, Alberta Precision Laboratories (APL).

The auditor general’s report notes the many challenges faced during the investigation, particularly with lack of co-operation from key officials and difficulty accessing evidence.

“Our access to information was restricted by AHS and this restriction was supported” by the Ministry of Health, says the report.

AHS asserted privilege over many documents “without, in some instances, clear rationale or evidence,” and had a team of lawyers conduct a line-by-line review of the thousands of documents sought by the auditor general.

The report also says that “records were password protected and inaccessible, missing, or destroyed when key staff were terminated,” noting a particular instance when AHS destroyed notebooks belonging to a former CEO “despite our request to preserve evidence.”

Folks living in #Alberta who want the #covid and #flu #vaccines: they are free at #AHS clinics, but not @ #pharmacies.

There's a list of medical conditions that qualify to get the free vaccines, but if you don't qualify, book anyway. When the admitting nurse asks if you qualify, say yes. They can't look at your medical records to verify.

Stay #healthy, y'all.
