It’s a bit breezy today. Living in a 3 storey townhome with nothing between you and the mountains but ranch lands, it feels like I’m going to blown back to Ontario 😁💨

How long will it be until Dementia Don has Dominic Waghorn kicked out of the U.S. and has him declared persona non grata?

Thanks, UCP. My vote is now worthless in a nonsensical new riding called Edmonton Enoch.
I really wish we could yeet you all into the sun right frigging now.
Here’s how the new controversial electoral maps will shake things up in Edmonton

Wow, great thread on a big scandal Alberta’s current United Conservative government is involved in!
How much did the Mraiche/Marshall network steal from us?
"While authorities have not yet declared a specific, finalized dollar figure for the exact net profit pocketed by the network, forensic tracking by the Auditor General and the RCMP centers around hundreds of millions of dollars in public funds distributed through highly inflated, non-competitive pipelines.
The specific contract values and individual profit margins currently under audit by authorities provide a clear roadmap of the massive financial scale:
The Total Public Contract Value under Probe:
Sworn evidence from Athana Mentzelopoulos's wrongful dismissal lawsuit reveals that the public health authority routed over $614 million in total supply, PPE, and service agreements to corporate entities owned by Sam Mraiche, including MHCare Medical and Carver PA Corp.
Investigators are currently auditing what percentage of this $614-million pool constituted illegitimate or artificially inflated margins.
The Outsized Surgical Multipliers: ASG Heritage Valley
Internal AHS cost logs obtained by investigators show that ASG Heritage Valley was billing the government $8,300 per hip replacement procedure, while the baseline public hospital cost for the identical surgery sits at just over $4,000.
Authorities believe that these double-rate contract structures allowed the private clinic to clear millions in excessive, taxpayer-funded profits per surgical block.
The Turkish Pain Medication Margin:
The Auditor General's review into the $70-million emergency contract for Turkish children's acetaminophen discovered a catastrophic loss of value:
The province paid out tens of millions of dollars upfront.
Out of the initial shipment, only a small fraction was safe or clinically viable for use.
The vast majority of the medication sat completely unused and had to be incinerated as hazardous waste, meaning the contractor's massive payout yielded virtually zero public benefit.
The 12-Week Land Flip Profit:
A separate probe by the Auditor General focuses on direct real estate exploitation.
Land titles show a numbered company controlled by Mraiche purchased an Edmonton commercial property for $1.7 million in mid-2024.
Exactly 12 weeks later, the company flipped the same property to Alberta Infrastructure for $2 million, walking away with a swift $300,000 taxpayer-funded profit without conducting any upgrades or structural changes.
Private Recovery Centre Lease-Back Pipelines:
Authorities are tracking a network of decentralized addiction-recovery facilities, spearheaded by Marshall and funded under Minister Williams' multi-million dollar budget.
These buildings were purchased by Mraiche-linked companies, like Melewka Homes Ltd, and leased back into the provincial network for as much as $480,000 per year per facility.
This structure created a permanent, highly lucrative private rental income pipeline.
Because the specialized RCMP anti-corruption unit has escalated its probe into potential money laundering and fraud, forensic accounting teams are actively mapping out shell company bank registries to determine exactly how many millions were siphoned out of these health contracts into the hands of private stakeholders...1/

Holy Fack this thread reads like a reality TVshow!
Mraiche family affair:
"Investigative reporting, judicial reviews, and court filings indicate that at least seven immediate and extended family members of Sam Mraiche are woven directly into this procurement, staffing, and corporate network.
Watchdogs frequently point to this multi-generational involvement to demonstrate how deeply the private contractor's family has penetrated provincial operations.
The specific breakdown of the family members involved includes:
1. The Direct Descendant: 1 Relative
Khalil Mraiche (Son):
Corporate registries unmasked him as the sole shareholder of a private numbered company where senior AHS procurement chiefs, Prasad and Iskiw, quietly served as directors.
Immediately following this arrangement, Marshall hired Khalil directly into the Premier’s Office as a UCP government political and policy staffer.
• tors. Immediately following this arrangement, Marshall Smith hired Khalil directly into the Premier’s Office as a UCP government political and policy staffer.
2. The Siblings & In-Laws: 2 Relatives
Dr. Fatima Mraiche (Sister):
The corporate owner behind the numbered shell company that purchased the $1.6-million luxury Edmonton property where former Chief of Staff Marshall lived while actively overseeing provincial healthcare asset routing.
Mohamed "Mike" Eldassouki (Brother-in-Law):
A senior executive at MHCare Medical and the principal owner of the construction management company involved in the $100-million Indigenous recovery centre contracts.
He is currently the central figure in the $30-million extortion and corporate forgery court battle against Melewka Homes.
• Mohamed "Mike" Eldassouki (Brother-in-Law): A senior executive at MHCare Medical and the principal owner of the construction management company involved in the $100-million Indigenous recovery centre contracts. He is currently the central figure in the $30-million extortion and corporate forgery court battle against Melewka Homes.
3. The Extended Network: 4 Relatives
Ahmad Jebara (Nephew):
Formally hired as a UCP government policy advisor.
Whistleblower timelines revealed his employment contract was finalized on the exact same day that Fatima Mraiche closed the deal on the luxury home for the Premier's Chief of Staff.
Mahmoud Jebara (Nephew):
Hired into a second governmental policy advisor role.
Freedom of Information (FOIP) requests later revealed that the Alberta government possesses zero emails, briefing notes, or written policy work written by either nephew during their collective years on the public payroll.
Hussein Moussa (Nephew):
Directly placed inside the healthcare apparatus, serving as a procurement officer for AHS, the exact agency routing the multi-million dollar supply contracts.
Ahmed Eldassouki (Nephew):
Embedded into the political staffing infrastructure, serving as a ministerial intern within the UCP government.
The Marital Connection:
Justice Minister Mickey Amery:
While not a blood relative, public records and legislative debates have highlighted that Alberta’s Minister of Justice is a close personal friend who is related to Mraiche by marriage.
Amery faced intense criticism for introducing retroactive legislation that shortened investigative timelines right as Elections Alberta was actively probing Mraiche's campaign donation networks...1/

Two years ago, I crossed the finish line of my first full-distance IRONMAN in Florida. 🥇
140.6 miles. One unforgettable day.
At the time, I had no idea that two years later I'd be preparing to attempt all nine U.S. full-distance IRONMAN races in a single year.
Sometimes one finish line is really just the starting line.
MOVE. Any Way You See Fit. ✨

MRAICHE AND PROPOSED SITES
"Two proposed private surgical sites were cancelled and multiple addiction recovery construction projects were halted due to issues and investigations surrounding Edmonton businessman Sam Mraiche.
The fallout involves two separate situations:
Private Surgical Facilities (Red Deer and Lethbridge):
Alberta Health Services (AHS) terminated procurement negotiations for two proposed Chartered Surgical Facilities (CSFs) in Red Deer and Lethbridge.
The Reason:
The facilities were proposed by Prairie Surgical Centre, a corporate entity partially owned by Mraiche. AHS cancelled the talks due to ongoing procurement investigations, intense conflict-of-interest concerns, and highly elevated pricing proposals that far exceeded internal AHS cost estimates.
Addiction Recovery Centres (Métis Crossing and Tsuut'ina Nation):
Construction ground to a halt at two high-profile addiction recovery sites due to a massive legal and financial dispute involving Mraiche.
The Reason:
A multi-million dollar legal battle erupted between Mraiche and a local contractor over $11 million in funnelled project funds.
Because of the legal deadlock, subcontractors were left unpaid by over $1.9 million, forcing them to walk off the job and halt construction on the Métis Crossing and Tsuut'ina Nation recovery centres.
Prairie Surgical Centre:
Prairie Surgical Centre is a private business venture consisting of numbered companies.
Corporate registry records and legal letters reveal it is owned by a joint partnership:
Sam Mraiche--25% stake.
The Edmonton businessman controls a quarter share of the operational entity through his business ventures;
Three Local Physicians:
Doctors D'Arcy Durand,
Leslie Scheelar, and
Kenneth Hawkins own a substantial portion.
Notably, these same three doctors own the completely separate Alberta Surgical Group, but Mraiche only holds a stake in Prairie Surgical Centre.
Blayne Iskiw & His Wife--12% stake. Iskiw is a consultant and former procurement official for AHS.
Metis Crossing and Tsuut'ina Nation Recovery Centers:
The Métis Crossing Facility (Healing Waters Recovery Community):
Owned by the Otipemisiwak Métis Government (the Métis Nation of Alberta). It is being built on their land near Smoky Lake using a $35 million provincial grant.
The Tsuut'ina Nation Recovery Centre:
Owned entirely by the Tsuut'ina Nation, a First Nation located just outside of Calgary, backed by millions in provincial grants.
Mraiche connection:
The Indigenous nations awarded the multi-million dollar construction contracts to a residential builder named Melewka Homes Ltd.
Court filings later revealed that Melewka Homes is deeply financially linked to Sam Mraiche.
Mraiche allegedly funnelled over $11 million into the project. This triggered a massive legal battle that ultimately caused the construction projects to freeze...1/
