Braid: Carney steps up as pro-Canada champion in face of Smith’s muddled federalism
The best campaigner for Canada in the Oct. 19 referendum won’t be a premier who claims to be…

It's a long read, but worth it. Also, to any Americans reading this, we love you, but we are going to fight back against this. :canada:

"The Sovereignty Act didn’t emerge from grassroots Albertan frustration. It was drafted by Atlas Network affiliates, championed by a former oil industry lobbyist, and designed to protect the fossil fuel sector from federal climate policy."

Well, well. Alberta’s UCP wanted to drop privacy standards surrounding health and health cards by tying Alberta health cards to Driver’s Licenses.
Besides the crush of people jamming the local Registrar’s for their license, some of whom face multiple unexpected hurdles before getting theirs, Albertans are learning that their Health coverage expires.

Worse, now the simple act of handing out one’s Driver’s License to, say, rent out a vehicle, means you’re also handing out your credentials for your health and your citizenship status. Do you think that local private businesses have raised their standard of care concerning your private information? Do you think that these local private businesses will accept greater liability for any misuse or mishandling of your very important personal credentials? I don’t think so.
Do you think the publicly disarmed Alberta Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta is even remotely equipped or consulted for this real world scenario of privacy violations?
Do you think your local car rental company should have your Health Card information so you can rent a car?
Rent a pressure washer?
Rent a U-Haul?
Take that test drive at your local car dealer?
What might you feel if your Driver’s License/Proof of Citizenship/Health Care Card is now automatically stolen and sold in bulk online? Do you think you can cancel it and get a new one? How many times do you think you might have to do this? How many times do you think you can actually do this?
How do you feel when you learn that this new regime for Alberta Driver’s Licenses was to…address fraud?
It’s almost like the UCP forgot what compartmentalization means…or why it was once considered a safety feature to separate parts of your work life and personal life to avoid being hacked.

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.

30 years into UN climate talks, the world is hotter than ever Provinces & the federal government are battling each other & activists, frustrated by political inertia, are escalating their protest tactics, taking direct aim at the #fossilfuel industry. All the while, the planet is heating up — with tragic results 🔥🌏

I live in #alberta, when that traitorous wretch #DanielleSmith allowed Yankee booze back on the shelves, the numbers went up something like 2.2%. Let them the "win," put their booze back on the shelf, we don't HAVE to buy it, it costs more and isn't as good. The well has been poisoned. They did it

I may lose a lot of followers by hash-tagging #fuckcarney, but so be it. To those followers I do lose, I bid you farewell and good health.
This is not the “unified” #Canada I wasted my #Federal #NDP vote for. Anyone supporting “the great” #markcarney and his #cultlike, loyal #turncoat, #unethical, #partisan, #climatedestruction #liberals, who judge people like me for openly criticizing their great #authoritarian leader, can kiss my leftist ass and future votes goodbye for generations to come.
I’m no longer interested in #Carney’s #liberal #nationalinterestprojects. Mark Carney’s “globalist banker over politician” mentality is not at all compatible with my national interest, that is a fact.
Mark Carney continues to ignore my “leftwing domestic terrorist” interests while quietly sending #Canadian delegations to #AmericanFacist conventions and still claiming a pursuit of “national unity”.
The truth is Carney’s #nationalinterest claims are no more real than fascist Trump claiming he’s polling “better than ever” in an entire nation actively fighting against him and his corporate/facist ambitions.
Carney has used a #ShockDoctrine, #floodthezone agenda based on #Trump and #PierrePoilievre blinded Canadians, to achieve his and #DanielleSmith’s own selfish #rightwing, #corporate, #capitalist goals.
We’ve all been played, yet the most #patriotic #elbowsup Canadians have yet to even see it.

Alberta Senator @Paulatics delivered an excellent speech warning of the harms of online censorship, moral panic, book bans, and the problems with bans and age verifications as Senate Bill S-209 moves from the Senate to the House of Commons.
Thank you Senator! I could not agree more!

Here, the allegations take us to Melewka Homes Ltd, owned by Lewis Semashkewich and John Semashkewich. The pair did business with a Mohamed Eldassouki. Plot twist: Eldassouki apparently is the brother-in-law of the perpetual protagonist of capitalism, Sam Mraiche. The Semashkewiches go on to allege that Mraiche introduced himself as Fred, and suggested that he had connections with high ranked officials, and he could pull contracts awarded to Melweka at any time. Fred went on to make demands for large sums of money.
Unfortunately, some of these contracts appear to involve the Addiction Recovery Centres that were once handled by AHS. But, since AHS may have been shattered into pieces for allegedly investigating the CorruptCare cluster of contracts, it has since been replaced by Recovery Alberta in 2024. At this point, it beggars belief that the UCP, Danielle Smith, and her caucus do not either resign or at least take steps to mitigate what is clearly an out-of-control conflicts of interest.

If you want to see what is possibly the most dangerous “maritime cross roads” in Canada in terms of weather, geography, traffic, environmental impact, and all the rest:
I have annotated a map near Gill Island.
We don’t know the pipe route. If it’s Kitimat rather than Rupert because a route exists, this is where tankers would go.
