CBC’s Jason Markusoff and Joel Dryden follow up on the Alberta CorruptCare scandal. Here, CorruptCare continues to broil as two podcasters return to court for allegations that they carried out a campaign of harassment and intimidation of former AHS CEO, Athana Mentzelopoulos, and former AHS board member, Sandy Edmonstone. The article discusses how Edmonstone noted the similarities between the harassment he experienced, and the allegations of harassment that Globe and Mail reporter, Carrie Tait, experienced.
Edmonstone learned that “the phone number that had been associated with the photos taken of him also was associated with an anonymous X account that had posted the photos of Tait.”
CorruptCare watchers will find interesting that Bryan Ward, a lawyer associated with Quixotic capitalist, Sam Mraiche, is the subject of a contempt application. Bryan Ward being another person of interest in the other court case involving the UCP Recovery Centres, the Semashkewiches, Sam Mraiche, Sam Jaber, Jitendra Prasad, Mike Eldassouki, and others.

Former AHS CEO wants podcasters held in contempt for ‘harassment’ campaign | CBC News

Bryan Ward being another person of interest in the other court case involving the UCP Recovery Centres, the Semashkewiches, Sam Mraiche, Sam Jaber, Jitendra Prasad, Mike Eldassouki, and others.
Edmonstone has also applied to cite lawyer Ward for contempt alongside Wallace and DiFiore. When the Anton Piller order was executed at the homes of both podcasters, each said that Ward was representing them, according to court records.
Ward told authorities executing the Piller order that “his firm had retained Wallace and DiFiore on behalf of a ‘third party’ client,” court records state, but that client is not identified.
It appears that Ward and Park Law are involved with “directing or facilitating the campaign directed at Mr. Edmonstone,” the contempt application against Ward alleges.
The application argues that intimidating a prospective witness, “whether carried out personally or through the direction, instruction, or facilitation of others,” amounts to contempt of court.
Ward did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.

The Tyee's Brett Mckay brings us “The UCP Tried to Kill a Health Story with Claims That Didn’t Stand Up”
The UCP and the AB GOV clearly captured the healthcare system, and have politicized the administration of healthcare in Alberta. If the Alberta Premier’s office or the UCP have a problem with a news story, they now write from multiple letterheads. If there’s fall out, they can hide behind multiple offices. When Albertans cannot trust the data about how healthcare is delivered, it’s called Propaganda.
Healthcare is a public good, and should not be subject to oppression or suppression from the government. Otherwise Canadians will have no reliable measure of how healthcare is delivered, the effectiveness of projects or initiatives, or whether we are in fact in the midst of a crisis. Rather than an emphasis on service, the UCP healthcare system seems to focus on obedience.

The UCP Tried to Kill a Health Story with Claims That Didn’t Stand Up | The Tyee
The Alberta government was quick to react when an Investigative Journalism Foundation investigation revealed that the amount of overtime worked by paramedics in Edmonton had increased by 81 per cent between 2021 and 2024.
The report was republished by several media outlets across Canada last summer through the Local Journalism Initiative.
Staff from Premier Danielle Smith’s office and the Ministry of Hospital and Surgical Health Services immediately began messaging reporters and editors, claiming that data had been omitted and asking that the story be rewritten or deleted. At least one news outlet complied with the government’s request.
But after filing multiple access to information requests, the IJF found that information cited in emails from the premier’s staff doesn’t line up with data from the province’s own health agencies.
That’s a serious problem, said Lorian Hardcastle, a professor in the faculties of law and medicine at the University of Calgary.
“In many cases, government is the only one with access to particular data,” she said. “And so it’s essential to government accountability to democracy for them to be honest and open and transparent with that data.”
“Where that data is false, or where that data is misleading or is manipulated in a way to make it seem more favourable, all of that is really problematic,” Hardcastle said. “And it takes away the ability of the public to hold the government’s feet to the fire to make improvements.” Inaccurate data also makes it harder for those working in the system to make needed changes, she said.

The Globe’s Tom Cardoso and Carrie Tait bring the latest in the CorruptCare scandal, further confirming that Elections Alberta was disarmed from its role to protect the integrity of the electoral system of Alberta. But, with even more concern, Alberta’s Justice Minister appears unable to identify the conflicts of interest that arise where he is alleged to have an existing relationship with the central figure of the Corrupt Care contracts, Sam Mraiche.
Justice Minister Amery, a lawyer himself, claims he had no knowledge that Elections Alberta was investigating his “old friend”, Sam Mraiche. And, perhaps some grace can be afforded the Minister that no one from Elections Alberta sat with him to say there was such an investigation. But, given the Minister’s position, his networks within the UCP, his alleged relationship with Sam Mraiche, and Sam Mraiche’s own ties to other agents of government, Canadians are left wondering why credibility is so thin here.
The article goes on to share a time line of events for when the Elections Alberta investigation began, to when Justice Minister Amery introduced his amendments to further disarm Elections Alberta, and how these amendments coincidentally worked in Sam Mraiche’s favour.

The Globe’s Tom Cardoso and Carrie Tait bring the latest in the CorruptCare scandal, further confirming that Elections Alberta was disarmed from its role to protect the integrity of the electoral system of Alberta. But, with even more concern, Alberta’s Justice Minister appears unable to identify the conflicts of interest that arise where he is alleged to have an existing relationship with the central figure of the Corrupt Care contracts, Sam Mraiche.
Justice Minister Amery, a lawyer himself, claims he had no knowledge that Elections Alberta was investigating his “old friend”, Sam Mraiche. And, perhaps some grace can be afforded the Minister that no one from Elections Alberta sat with him to say there was such an investigation. But, given the Minister’s position, his networks within the UCP, his alleged relationship with Sam Mraiche, and Sam Mraiche’s own ties to other agents of government, Canadians are left wondering why credibility is so thin here.
The article goes on to share a time line of events for when the Elections Alberta investigation began, to when Justice Minister Amery introduced his amendments to further disarm Elections Alberta, and how these amendments coincidentally worked in Sam Mraiche’s favour.

Alberta Justice Minister curtailed election regulator when Sam Mraiche was under investigation
The Globe’s Tom Cardoso and Carrie Tait bring the latest in the CorruptCare scandal, further confirming that Elections Alberta was disarmed from its role to protect the integrity of the electoral system of Alberta. But, with even more concern, Alberta’s Justice Minister appears unable to identify the conflicts of interest that arise where he is alleged to have an existing relationship with the central figure of the Corrupt Care contracts, Sam Mraiche.
Justice Minister Amery, a lawyer himself, claims he had no knowledge that Elections Alberta was investigating his “old friend”, Sam Mraiche. And, perhaps some grace can be afforded the Minister that no one from Elections Alberta sat with him to say there was such an investigation. But, given the Minister’s position, his networks within the UCP, his alleged relationship with Sam Mraiche, and Sam Mraiche’s own ties to other agents of government, Canadians are left wondering why credibility is so thin here.
The article goes on to share a time line of events for when the Elections Alberta investigation began, to when Justice Minister Amery introduced his amendments to further disarm Elections Alberta, and how these amendments coincidentally worked in Sam Mraiche’s favour.
Of interest, there are 6 names that stood out for Elections Alberta due to their lack of cooperation. Elections Alberta then applied for these individuals, and Mraiche, to be held in contempt. The day after Justice Minister Mickey Amery’s amendments were introduced, their lawyer wrote to Elections Alberta that they considered the issue concluded. Canadians have to start wondering if these individuals were waiting the clock, and what exactly informed them of the time left?
Also, with how sophisticated some of the targets of investigation are for Elections Alberta, I ask why should they be restricted to 1 year? Here in Canada, people can be charged for crime with no time limit. When the Justice System itself acknowledges its racism, and actively tries to mitigate it, why then should White Collar criminals be treated with such privilege?
Six people whose names are listed – Ali Haymour, Houssam Ismail, Kamal Mansour, Khawla Al-Tamimi, Majida Kiki and Salim Kherbatly – were found in contempt by an Alberta court in July after Elections Alberta said they had not made themselves available for an interview related to an investigation. Court records for their and Mr. Mraiche’s contempt cases show that both matters concerned a straw-donor investigation launched on April 30, 2024, and shared the same internal Elections Alberta case file number.
Documents filed in the six individuals’ cases show that on May 16 – the day after Mr. Amery’s changes passed in the legislature – their lawyer, George Samia, wrote to Elections Alberta to point out the new time limit.
“Given that the events under investigation occurred more than one year ago, and considering the legislative intent to enforce a one-year limitation period, we submit that the window for investigation into this matter has closed and the investigation has been rendered moot,” he said. “Therefore, our Clients will not be submitting to any further questioning or investigations related to this case.” Mr. Samia did not respond to a request for comment.
The six individuals each agreed to pay the elections authority $1,445 in early January as part of their contempt cases, court records show. They have received no penalty related to the alleged illegal donations, according to Elections Alberta’s website. -

Unpaid Subcontractors for Recovery Centres Say UCP Abandoned Them
The Tyee’s Charles Rusnell follows up on the fallout from CorruptCare’s expansion into the Recovery Centres.
Subcontractors, who have not been paid for months, are blaming the government of Premier Danielle Smith for first failing to provide oversight on more than $100 million of taxpayers’ money and then failing to help resolve the impasse as they struggle to survive.
“This will probably bankrupt us if I don’t get paid,” said one Edmonton subcontractor who hasn’t been paid in more than two months. “I’m about a million dollars out so that is a pretty heavy hit.”
Another Edmonton subcontractor told The Tyee she has been owed more than $500,000 since July 2025.
“This shows to me that the government doesn’t have our back, that we can’t trust the government.
“We can’t trust them with our taxpayers’ money. We can’t trust them on a government-funded project.”
…
“Nobody told us anything, and we were just told, ‘Don’t worry, you will get paid,’” said the Métis Nation subcontractor.
“So we kept working. The only reason we finally went off site is because we weren’t believing the bullshit anymore.”
She said it wasn’t until she read The Tyee story that she understood what was going on.
“When I read it, then it became crystal clear to me what the problems were. I was like, ‘OK that is why we haven’t been paid.’ And I was thinking, ‘That is why everyone has been stonewalling me and not telling the truth.’
“None of us subtrades would have known any of this unless we had read your article.”

Unpaid Subcontractors for Recovery Centres Say UCP Abandoned Them

Canadians may be witnessing one of the greatest corruption scandals to rock a province in generations. From the mind boggling dollar figures, to the depth of the group alleged behind the corruption, the scandal touches every man, woman, and child of Alberta.
CorruptCare originally referred to allegations of a cluster of procurement contracts involving AHS and a number of UCP members in relation to Tylenot, bad PPE, and some suspicious bids for chartered surgical facilities. And, now, the scandal continues to expand to construction contracts in relation to the recovery centres at the heart of the UCP’s forced treatment programming (that I dub Residential Schools 2.0).
The Tyee’s Charles Rusnell brings us the deep dive into the allegations between the Semashkewiches, Sam Mraiche, Sam Jaber, Jitendra Prasad, Mike Eldassouki, Aaron Barner, and others. As always, the article itself deserves a read, and I’ll leave some highlights below.

A marked RCMP vehicle was parked in front of Jaberson & Associates, a tax preparation and accounting firm owned by Sam Jaber. In November, 2023, Ms. Smith appointed him to the board of Invest Alberta, which focuses on attracting capital investment to the province.
Mr. Jaber has also served as the chief financial officer of MHCare Medical Corp., a private company owned by Sam Mraiche, a businessman at the centre of the province’s procurement controversy.

On Thursday, a Globe reporter spoke with a neighbour of Jitendra Prasad, one of the former Alberta Health Service procurement officials who was part of Ms. Mentzelopoulos’s probe.
The neighbour told The Globe that RCMP officers had attended at Mr. Prasad’s home throughout the day on Tuesday.
…
Mr. Jaber owns two tax and accounting businesses, corporate records show – Jaberson & Associates and Tax Pros, both based in Edmonton.
Corporate filings show that Mr. Jaber and his accounting businesses have acted as registering agents for several of Mr. Mraiche’s business ventures.
Mr. Jaber was appointed to Invest Alberta’s board at the behest of the Premier’s Office, according to records obtained by The Globe through an access to information request.
In a series of e-mails, government staff discuss Mr. Jaber’s potential appointment. In an e-mail dated Oct. 26, 2023, one official wrote that the Premier’s Office “has indicated this is a priority for immediate action.” Mr. Jaber was appointed to the board by an order-in-council signed by the Premier four weeks later. His term is set to expire next January.
Invest Alberta declined to comment.
The Premier in the summer of 2024 confirmed that Jaberson & Associates furnished her office with tickets to watch the Edmonton Oilers play the Vancouver Canucks in British Columbia during the NHL playoffs that year. Mr. Mraiche joined Ms. Smith in a box suite to watch the game, a photo taken by The Canadian Press shows.
