Procurement or Profiteering?: Inside the AHS Contract Controversy
Manage episode 467609752 series 3524176
It’s been a rough week for the Alberta government. The former CEO of Alberta Health Services, Athana Mentzelopoulos, has filed a $1.7 million lawsuit against the province, setting off a chain reaction that now includes cabinet ministers breaking ranks and a major press conference from Premier Danielle Smith.
In this episode, Erika and Cheryl break down:
✅ What the lawsuit means for the government’s credibility
✅ Health Minister Adriana LaGrange’s future – is she on the chopping block?
✅ Pete Guthrie’s bold cabinet confidentiality leak – calculated or accidental?
✅ The political fallout: villains, victims, and strategic missteps
🎧 Plus: What does this mean for the UCP’s healthcare reforms? Are they losing momentum just as they try to reshape the system? And Erika dives deep into changes the government is making to the way mental healthcare is delivered and opens up about her own struggles.
📌 Also in this episode:
📢 Smith’s last-minute decision to pull out of Washington – is it about the budget, or is she dodging bad press?
💰 Alberta’s $10M eating disorder funding – are recovery centres really the best option?
🔮 Can the government recover from this, or is the damage done?
👀 Next week: Special Pre & Post Budget Episodes!
We’re doubling up with two episodes next week—before and after the budget drops. Don’t miss our analysis and hot takes!
