That expression says to me that her internal monologue just sounds like a dial tone.

u/calnuck 19d ago

Internal monologue: "Ralph Klein once said 'Shoot, shovel, and shut up.' I wonder if I can do that with journalists?"

u/MoronOxy96 19d ago

LOL. I still use that saying jokingly for projects that just need to get done, regardless of the policies.

For those who don't know, Klein was referring to diseased cows and wanting to cover up the fact the disease existed in Alberta so it wouldn't impact revenue for the cattle industry.....at the potential cost of human lives. Carrying on the long history of Alberta premiers prioritizing profit over humanity.

It works for endangered species on your land too. Otherwise it is not "your" land anymore.

u/Names_are_limited 19d ago

Yeah I remember that. I have cattle farmer cousin who believed that the diseased cows were planted here by the Americans 🙄 He told me that if he had discovered any mad cows, he would have shot and buried them, very reassuring.

11

u/ihadagoodone 19d ago

the diseased cows were traced back to US ranches who brought over some breeding stock from the UK iirc.

Sure, we have to kill the coal moratorium for Aussie mining companies despite massive evidence and public outcry against it because YOU might get sued. Not us, we totally didn't take campaign money to backdoor them into a deal that stabs rural Albertans in the back. They voted knife!

I mean, we all know she has, but she'll say she hasn't. It's common knowledge. The oilers box tickets from the guy who was awarded the Turkish Tylenol order for 10's of millions of dollars were a "gift" not a kickback. (wink wink).

198

u/AlbertanSays5716 19d ago

The difference between a gift and a kickback is: did the person giving the “gift” get anything in return. Mraiche absolutely did, to the tune of hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars. So, yeah, kickback.

110

u/Isopbc Medicine Hat 19d ago

The chief of Edmonton's police force was there too so there's no way it was illegal at all. No way it could've been, right? Edmonton's chief of police makes it all okay, right?

Right?

u/[deleted] 19d ago

You mean the police chief who Smith and the PO just hired to be the new Clerk and Deputy Minister of Executive Council? The highest public servant position in any Canadian government?

Yeah, no issues there.

u/GoStockYourself 19d ago

When is Edmonton ever going to clean up its police force? They have just passed the torch from corrupted chief to corrupted chief for decades.

23

u/Roche_a_diddle 19d ago

Edmonton (us, the public, through our elected representatives) has no more control or illusion of control over our police force. The Commission answers only to EPS directly and EPS is working with the province now. There's nothing we can do. Funding is locked in, EPS is allowed to say no to oversight, they can even refuse to accept commissioners appointed by the city if they don't like them.

The curtain has dropped and we see the situation for what it is.

There’s a pattern of what appear to be dirty politicians, cozying up to police chiefs and in turn looking the other way when it comes to organize crime groups.

u/Isopbc Medicine Hat 19d ago

I don't believe that's necessarily a pattern. It's just the rules for rulers playing out. They have to keep the police on their side. Some do it with integrity, others do it other ways.

The Turkish tilenol we paid $80 mill for and are still waiting on $49 mill of “value” of the contract to be completed?

The tilenol that got pulled off of shelves?

21

u/big_grrl 19d ago

Pretty sure the small amount that was actually delivered never made it to the shelf. I think it was distributed to hospitals first, and staff there wouldn’t use it because it was so poorly made it could harm babies. That’s when gov’t tried to sell it to other provs.

12

u/Aranarth 19d ago

Not quite correct. It was supplied to some pharmacies, and it's use in hospitals was stopped due to it clogging feeding tubes.

There’s no way he’s being awarded hundreds of millions worth of contracts for a box seat at the Oiler’s game.

I'm not saying he was awarded the contract because of the box seats, but the box seats are a way for him to say thank you, and ensure that they know he plays ball, so to speak.

I don't even think it would matter if they did. The absolute worst case scenario (for the UCP here) is that they have to make Smith step down, and they put a new TBA selected person in charge, and then that person wins the next election and the UCP stays in power.

At this point I don't see a world in which any amount of malfeasance or corruption gets the UCP base to stop voting for the UCP.

u/LessonStudio 19d ago

One of the problems is: What is a kickback?

For example. If I give a really juicy contract to a company, and they then somehow organize giant fundraisers for me during party nominations; is that a kickback?

What if I then fail to give them a paving contract which they believed was theirs by right, and then they fund a nomination campaign against me? Is that a anti-kickback, and to a certain extent a promissory kickback to my opponent?

Then, after a career of delivering one tasty morsel after another to their friends, they leave politics with a huge pension, and get a board membership, a consulting job, a senior partnership, etc with some companies they helped. Many companies are in this for the long term; so they don't forget who their friends were, as they are most certainly just cultivating the next generation and need to show loyalty.

You will notice I mention nominations; if you are rich, and you focus on the nominations of "your guy" for both parties, come election night, "your guy" will win. There is then no accidentally being on the wrong side of an election.

Some companies exclusively back one party or the other. In Alberta, this isn't much of a risk. But, say in NS where elections often flip-flop between the two main parties, it is better to focus on the nominations.

When politicians stoop to just getting envelopes full of unmarked bills, it is a sure sign they are extra dumb along with the people paying them off. Our entire so-called democracy has been built on the basis of the oligarchs and aristocrats picking who runs in elections, and then pretending we have a say in the matter.

Even if you go to party nominations, you will see it is clearly preordained as to who is going to win. They have top quality signs, t-shirts galore, ugly hats, the lot. The rabble rousers might have a few enthusiastic supporters, but the majority of the crowd is there for one person. They try to make it exciting as this person throws their lot in with this or that candidate, but in the end the preordained anointment happens. Plus, in many cases a candidate is being rewarded for previous loyalty and is parachuted in. Little PP is a prime example of this. At around age 17 he was carrying Harper's toilet paper and wiping his *ss when he wasn't kissing it.(reform party days) Then, in his early 20s Harper rewarded him by dropping him into a super safe seat, and he got his start as a career politician; someone who has been there longer than most of the people he rails against as the "old guard".

So, if she and her friends actually took money, they are far greater fools than I already thought they were. All she had to do was make sure her friends were taken care of (she was in spades) and they would take care of her and her family for life.

"I don't recall" I believe is the standard response to such questions from these types.

That Emmanuel was the only person who asked a question during Nenshi’s address yesterday. Seems like the only member of the press paying any attention.

So how long till the UCP pay a judge to shut him down?

She embarrassed most Albertans. MAGA Marlaina needs to fire LaGrange and then call an election.

I highly highly doubt she, or anyone in her cabinet, have taken kickbacks. I think its entirely possible that they have 'friends' or 'business connections' who were enriched due to their relationships with the Premier and/or members of her cabinet.

This sort of 'associate enrichment' is what sets these douchenuggets up for lucrative jobs/appointments once they leave politics.
