In Alberta the UCP fires whistleblowers before they even blow the whistle. How did they think they would get away with this?
The board thought the CEO should go to the RCMP, FFS.
And now we know why Smith abruptly moved her Chief of staff.
I want to see Smith and LaGrange squirm over this.

“Mentzelopoulos updated the AHS board on her investigation and audit on Dec. 19. The board recommended expanding the investigation and audit and that Ms. Mentzelopoulos consider taking the information she uncovered to the RCMP, according to the letter.
And then she was fired, along with the board.
