These are allegations surrounding a cluster of procurement contracts that involve a number of different parties. Information gathered here may still be developing. Please keep this in mind.
Like in any system of government, there will always be corruption. A system of government that attempts to ensure the involvement of the broadest sections of the population in the distribution of wealth would normally incentivize “democracy”. But, politicians are always incentivized to change their goal posts to ensure their re-election, and to ensure the continuity of their power. Hence there is a competing conflict of interest where the politician will always prefer to create and satisfy a lower number of power “gatekeepers”.
By simply sharing awareness of this corruption, its duality, and its balance, you too are engaging in democracy. Canadians must bring these people into account to protect the balance of power in favour of the people of this country. Was Sam Mraiche a story of personal greed? Sure. And, at the same time, one might fashion him as someone designed for even more dangerous stages if permitted. As noted below, during the Tylenot Arc, Jitendra Prasad supervised the procurement of Turkish Tylenol at quantities 10 times over the expected need.
Mraiche by this time had some how pivoted an Oil and Gas service management type company into Healthcare Procurement, and was potentially positioned to meet a shortage of children’s pain medication across Canada. But, as hindsight provides, none of this unfolded as planned. Had Mraiche succeeded, then the UCP would have fostered and mothered an incredibly lucrative private Healthcare Procurement company with deep ties with its own political party membership. But, such a birthing would have been the result of a parasitic relationship with AHS, where the Mraiche family of businesses arguably drew all of its wealth from.
Such a story would raise alarms when Canadians consider the developments in the United States of America. In the US, the billionaires have effectively taken over the country. There’s little that remains of US rule of law, rather, in its place, is rule of money. Canadians must bear with the disturbing possibility that the UCP of Alberta tried to birth their own billionaire, beholden to itself, in a series of questionable and unethical business transactions.
But, as the Wyant Report suggested, another view to take is that people were doing their best in the face of an unprecedented challenge in the COVID Pandemic. People were dying at alarming rates, and to this writing in 2026, the scientific community continues to study how exactly COVID damages the human body. So, while you continue to review and learn of the Corrupt Care scandal, I encourage you not to simply look at this as a personal interest story, but to keep some questions and points in mind.
While Sam Mraiche features prominently throughout the Corrupt Care cluster of procurement contracts that span from COVID Test Kits to Recovery Centre Construction, there were still many people within and outside of Sam Mraiche’s orbit who honestly did their utmost to save as many lives as possible. Canadians will always honour their service, and the many sacrifices that continue to be made in 2026 to meet the evolving challenges of Healthcare and COVID.
Yet, there remain actors within Corrupt Care that had “mixed motives” that included personal profit and perhaps greater national ambitions. Some questions to keep in mind: First and foremost, why Sam Mraiche at all? For those who already conclude that Mraiche must have been the “fence” between the UCP and AHS, to drain the Healthcare system’s coffers for gain, this seems like a trite question. But, for one to understand the real gaps of logic here, I suggest that the balance of power mentioned above is a tool and a guide. I think this question above all else should surface: Why Sam Mraiche? Why this one person among all others?

Next up we have Jitendra Prasad.
These are allegations surrounding a cluster of procurement contracts that involve a number of different parties. Information gathered here may still be developing. Please keep this in mind.
Jitendra Prasad is alleged as the Chief Procurement Officer for Alberta Health Services, and is a central figure who oversaw a number of procurement contracts that fell to disrepute. In summary, Prasad may have had additional involvement over the course of over $600 M worth of business between AHS and Sam Mraiche. Prasad is a prominent character for the procurement of [1] COVID test kits, who then returned to AHS from retirement to oversee the [2] Tylenot procurement, was involved with the [3] Chartered Surgical Facility contracts, and is referred to during the [4] Melewka Homes Arc.
Remarkably, Prasad’s procurement procedures do not appear to provide any reasoning behind why Sam Mraiche’s family of businesses or associates should be the primary go-between or beneficiary to any of the contracts entered on behalf of AHS. There’s no explanation for this during the COVID Test Kits Arc, nor the Tylenot Arc. Canadians should also be alarmed with the knowledge provided by Peter Guthrie that the original maker of Tylenol, Johnson and Johnson, made a bid at a discount to provide children’s pain medication to meet a severe need. Why Turkish Tylenol?
While Prasad may argue that he did his job, he also may have allowed himself to become a rubber stamp in favour of a very specific set of characters, and at the expense of Canadians.

Much like a Greek Epic, the Corrupt Care scandal has grown, with new characters and all kinds of details. So before the summer winds down (sadly!) I want to go over some highlights in a way that helps me keep track of things.
Please keep in mind that I just started this little exercise. But, I think I just finished with Marshall Smith, so I'm happy to start there. I'll leave a blurb here:
These are allegations surrounding a cluster of procurement contracts that involve a number of different parties. Information gathered here may still be developing. Please keep this in mind.
An American with a reputation for being a party boy, Marshall Smith made his way to Vancouver where he eventually entered the political scene. He pled guilty to Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking Methamphetamine and Cocaine, suggesting that he may have been a supplier to a very specific clientele. As part of the fallout from that incident, he was tucked away to Prince George to oversee the Baldy Hughes Facility. But, there are allegations that Marshall Smith ran the facility like a personal mom and pop, effectively cheaping out on everything and everyone to the point of disfunction.
Baldy Hughes apparently remains, and continues to struggle with all the same issues Marshall Smith left them with. Marshall Smith was then selected by the UCP to bring this Recovery Model, along with its dubious history, province-wide across Alberta. As noted below from the Tyee, Marshall Smith moved on from Baldy Hughes, stating that he essentially wanted to leave in good times. And, while the Corrupt Care Arcs have yet to fully play out, Marshall Smith almost has the appearance of a mythical “economic hit man”. A character who goes into another jurisdiction with the objective to destroy the economy and value of a target industry, and then exfiltrates himself.

Much like a Greek Epic, the Corrupt Care scandal has grown, with new characters and all kinds of details. So before the summer winds down (sadly!) I want to go over some highlights in a way that helps me keep track of things.
Please keep in mind that I just started this little exercise. But, I think I just finished with Marshall Smith, so I'm happy to start there. I'll leave a blurb here:
These are allegations surrounding a cluster of procurement contracts that involve a number of different parties. Information gathered here may still be developing. Please keep this in mind.
An American with a reputation for being a party boy, Marshall Smith made his way to Vancouver where he eventually entered the political scene. He pled guilty to Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking Methamphetamine and Cocaine, suggesting that he may have been a supplier to a very specific clientele. As part of the fallout from that incident, he was tucked away to Prince George to oversee the Baldy Hughes Facility. But, there are allegations that Marshall Smith ran the facility like a personal mom and pop, effectively cheaping out on everything and everyone to the point of disfunction.
Baldy Hughes apparently remains, and continues to struggle with all the same issues Marshall Smith left them with. Marshall Smith was then selected by the UCP to bring this Recovery Model, along with its dubious history, province-wide across Alberta. As noted below from the Tyee, Marshall Smith moved on from Baldy Hughes, stating that he essentially wanted to leave in good times. And, while the Corrupt Care Arcs have yet to fully play out, Marshall Smith almost has the appearance of a mythical “economic hit man”. A character who goes into another jurisdiction with the objective to destroy the economy and value of a target industry, and then exfiltrates himself.

A Warning For the West
The separatist petition is a farce, babied and nurtured every step of the way by the UCP. Now, the Europeans express concern that the US may interfere with their own elections. As Alberta endures its siege, let the world bear witness to how the US can indeed interfere with its allies.

Danielle Smith, in The Estranger.
Alberta remains under siege, presenting an unprecedented threat to Canada, and an attack pattern roadmap for countries around the world.
Alberta’s United Conservative Party introduced a Citizen Initiative Act in 2021, which claims to enable regular citizens to propose legislative and policy changes, and referendum questions. While this may appear to be a laudable motivation, the decades of Western democracy has revealed a severe flaw: the politician.
Specifically, Politicians who have been incentivized to seek re-election at the expense of all else - including the voters who they presumably should focus on. Politicians have increasingly become self-interested players with no meaningful regulation, and this self-interest allows them to focus entirely on changing the goal posts for their re-election. In the event of controversy or scandal, politicians have been expected to offer their resignations - immediately limiting any fallout damage from conflicts of interest. Such an action however, is a “convention”, or an expectation. There’s nothing that actually requires the Politician to take this action.
Danielle Smith
Such an event indeed unfolded before Canadians in the form of CorruptCare. Then AHS CEO, Athana Metzelopoulous, a whistleblower, turned the public spotlight to a cluster of healthcare related procurement contracts at a time when there was a brief shortage of children’s pain medication across Canada in and around 2021. During this time, the allegations suggest that political interference, from those in Premier Smith’s orbit, directed the AHS procurement process in favour of a local businessman, Sam Mraiche.
Such allegations were explosive, and normally should be career ending events. But Premier Danielle Smith has thrown the game, refusing to follow convention, and instead engaging in a campaign of lawfare against Canadians. She insists on the barest minimums in terms of accountability to run her term, and to impose a new set of policies that the UCP simply did not run an election for.
CorruptCare expanded to further revelations from the Melewka Homes litigation that Mraiche engaged in profiteering on building projects that are intended to one day become recovery centres. Recovery centres, by the way, that are part of the UCP’s Compassionate Intervention Act plans. I generally refer to these plans as Residential Schools 2.0.
In the wake of CorruptCare, the Auditor General, then Doug Wylie, was appointed in 2018 for an 8 year term. The UCP declined to extend Mr Wylie’s term to permit him to conclude his investigation into the CorruptCare cluster of contracts. But, perhaps alarmingly, the UCP were highlighted to essentially control all facets of any accountability that they could be subject to.
As noted by the CBC’s Michelle Bellefontaine, in “Alberta government ignores AG’s offer to stay on 2 more years, starts search for replacement”,
The motion to begin a search for an auditor general was passed by the five UCP MLAs who make up the majority on the standing committee on legislative offices that overseas the office of the auditor general, the chief electoral officer, the ombudsman and public interest commissioner, the ethics commissioner and the information and privacy commissioner.
Committee member Scott Cyr, who is the MLA for Bonnyville-Cold Lake-St. Paul, introduced the motion to set up an auditor general search committee near the end of a contentious meeting.
Cyr, and four of his UCP MLA colleagues — Nolan Dyck from Grande Prairie, Chelsae Petrovic from Livingstone-Macleod, Jackie Lovely from Camrose and Chantelle de Jonge from Chestermere-Strathmore — voted in favour of the motion.

Alberta’s main offices to hold the Politician accountable are essentially all disarmed on their face, leaving the administration of any kind of public justice in a state of disrepute. With an active RCMP investigation, a disrupted Auditor General investigation, a half-measured investigation carried out by the Wyant Investigation, and dubious intimidation tactics upon a journalist and other involved parties, one may imagine that the Justice Minister may have some concern.
But, as it turns out, Justice Minister Amery may have some conflicts of his own. By closing ranks, and refusing to follow the political convention of resigning in the face of scandal, the UCP has elevated the Politician to become more powerful than anyone in Canadian society ever intended.

“Let me be clear: this is no longer the party I helped build.”
Davies had also been a key player in the Wildrose Party before its members merged with members of the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta (PC) to form the UCP. He also spent time as co-campaign manager for Jeff Callaway in the 2017 UCP leadership race.
“(The party) is addicted to power and allergic to transparency,” Davies wrote on Thursday. “We are not witnessing leadership — we are witnessing damage control.

Danielle Smith - The Estranger
The Edmonton Journal’s Rob Breakenridge, who rightly raises the alarm that Premier Smith’s UCP, heavily conflicted with the above career ending scandals, has mothered and steered a petition for Alberta separation.
It would be quite a lurch for Danielle Smith to go from celebrating a major win-win for Alberta and Canada to then unleashing a referendum on breaking up the country.
It would be problematic, too, given the necessary consultations with First Nations if this new pipeline project is to proceed. Disregarding a court ruling aimed at protecting treaty rights could complicate those efforts, to say the least.
The premier previously said she did not intend to be the one to put separation on the ballot, since, as she put it, “My position is we should remain in Canada. That’s the position of our government.” And, in fairness, her pursuit of an energy agreement with Ottawa has helped to bolster that position.
Smith hasn’t necessarily changed her mind here, but she seems less unequivocal in the face of last week’s court ruling, which halts the separatist petition effort.
If the petition can’t be the spark for a referendum, it’s clear the separatists see the premier as their backup plan. And, so far, she’s not closing the door on that option.
That’s the wrong response. Whatever pressure Smith is facing to ensure a referendum proceeds, and whatever one thinks of this court ruling, she should not be the one to call such a vote. It undermines what she’s trying to accomplish, and she arguably lacks a mandate.
Smith, facing a scandal of enormous public and personal consequence in CorruptCare, has become the family estranger. She’s gone to the Canadian family, instigated emotional abuse, personality clashes, neglect, trauma, and selectively favours some over others.

Then AHS CEO, Athana Metzelopoulous, a whistleblower, turned the public spotlight to a cluster of healthcare related procurement contracts at a time when there was a brief shortage of children’s pain medication across Canada in and around 2021. During this time, the allegations suggest that political interference, from those in Premier Smith’s orbit, directed the AHS procurement process in favour of a local businessman, Sam Mraiche.
Such allegations were explosive, and normally should be career ending events. But Premier Danielle Smith has thrown the game, refusing to follow convention, and instead engaging in a campaign of lawfare against Canadians. She insists on the barest minimums in terms of accountability to run her term, and to impose a new set of policies that the UCP simply did not run an election for.
CorruptCare expanded to further revelations from the Melewka Homes litigation that Mraiche engaged in profiteering on building projects that are intended to one day become recovery centres. Recovery centres, by the way, that are part of the UCP’s Compassionate Intervention Act plans. I generally refer to these plans as Residential Schools 2.0.
In the wake of CorruptCare, the Auditor General, then Doug Wylie, was appointed in 2018 for an 8 year term. The UCP declined to extend Mr Wylie’s term to permit him to conclude his investigation into the CorruptCare cluster of contracts. But, perhaps alarmingly, the UCP were highlighted to essentially control all facets of any accountability that they could be subject to.
As noted by the CBC’s Michelle Bellefontaine, in “Alberta government ignores AG’s offer to stay on 2 more years, starts search for replacement”,
The motion to begin a search for an auditor general was passed by the five UCP MLAs who make up the majority on the standing committee on legislative offices that overseas the office of the auditor general, the chief electoral officer, the ombudsman and public interest commissioner, the ethics commissioner and the information and privacy commissioner.
Committee member Scott Cyr, who is the MLA for Bonnyville-Cold Lake-St. Paul, introduced the motion to set up an auditor general search committee near the end of a contentious meeting.
Cyr, and four of his UCP MLA colleagues — Nolan Dyck from Grande Prairie, Chelsae Petrovic from Livingstone-Macleod, Jackie Lovely from Camrose and Chantelle de Jonge from Chestermere-Strathmore — voted in favour of the motion.

Alberta’s main offices to hold the Politician accountable are essentially all disarmed on their face, leaving the administration of any kind of public justice in a state of disrepute. With an active RCMP investigation, a disrupted Auditor General investigation, a half-measured investigation carried out by the Wyant Investigation, and dubious intimidation tactics upon a journalist and other involved parties, one may imagine that the Justice Minister may have some concern.
But, as it turns out, Justice Minister Amery may have some conflicts of his own. By closing ranks, and refusing to follow the political convention of resigning in the face of scandal, the UCP has elevated the Politician to become more powerful than anyone in Canadian society ever intended.

Indeed, there are indirect indications the UCP acknowledge the conflict of interest is real. From Global News’ Phil Heidenreich, “Well-known conservative operative quits Alberta’s UCP, says party is ‘allergic to transparency’”,
“Let me be clear: this is no longer the party I helped build.”
Davies had also been a key player in the Wildrose Party before its members merged with members of the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta (PC) to form the UCP. He also spent time as co-campaign manager for Jeff Callaway in the 2017 UCP leadership race.
“(The party) is addicted to power and allergic to transparency,” Davies wrote on Thursday. “We are not witnessing leadership — we are witnessing damage control.

Danielle Smith - The Estranger
The Edmonton Journal’s Rob Breakenridge, who rightly raises the alarm that Premier Smith’s UCP, heavily conflicted with the above career ending scandals, has mothered and steered a petition for Alberta separation.
It would be quite a lurch for Danielle Smith to go from celebrating a major win-win for Alberta and Canada to then unleashing a referendum on breaking up the country.
It would be problematic, too, given the necessary consultations with First Nations if this new pipeline project is to proceed. Disregarding a court ruling aimed at protecting treaty rights could complicate those efforts, to say the least.
The premier previously said she did not intend to be the one to put separation on the ballot, since, as she put it, “My position is we should remain in Canada. That’s the position of our government.” And, in fairness, her pursuit of an energy agreement with Ottawa has helped to bolster that position.
Smith hasn’t necessarily changed her mind here, but she seems less unequivocal in the face of last week’s court ruling, which halts the separatist petition effort.
If the petition can’t be the spark for a referendum, it’s clear the separatists see the premier as their backup plan. And, so far, she’s not closing the door on that option.
That’s the wrong response. Whatever pressure Smith is facing to ensure a referendum proceeds, and whatever one thinks of this court ruling, she should not be the one to call such a vote. It undermines what she’s trying to accomplish, and she arguably lacks a mandate.
Smith, facing a scandal of enormous public and personal consequence in CorruptCare, has become the family estranger. She’s gone to the Canadian family, instigated emotional abuse, personality clashes, neglect, trauma, and selectively favours some over others.
A Warning For the West
The separatist petition is a farce, babied and nurtured every step of the way by the UCP. Now, the Europeans express concern that the US may interfere with their own elections. As Alberta endures its siege, let the world bear witness to how the US can indeed interfere with its allies.

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.

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.

Accounting firm owned by Smith government appointee searched by RCMP
Globe and Mail’s Carrie Tait, Tom Cardoso, Matthew Scace, and Jana G. Pruden, and Alanna Smith, with the latest updates on the RCMP conducting searches of properties associated with Sam Jaber, Jitendra Prasad, and Sam Mraiche.
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.
