Elections Alberta confirmed that a copy of a voter list of nearly 3 million Albertans, was improperly obtained by the Centurion Project. The list had originally been provided to the Republican Party of Alberta.

Send this to your favorite Maple MAGA and remind them, the only thing more embarrassing than being duped by foreign operatives is continuing to let yourself be used as a pawn.

The Edmonton Police costs over half a billion dollars a year, the single most expensive service in the City of Edmonton. But the board tasked with keeping them accountable is refusing to hear from the public.

All to carry water for the Police Chief's ill-advised trip to Israel, to learn policing from the perpetrators of a genocide.

Removing the public is not accountability.

While city council can’t offer a public insurance option for Edmontonians, we are building a city where you have the choice not to own a car if you can’t afford or choose not to.

Bill 11 takes effect tomorrow. Alberta will officially have a two-tier, dual practice health care system. No other province in Canada allows it.

Ottawa can stop this by enforcing the Canada Health Act. Eight months after Bill 11 passed, it still hasn’t.

Full IFJ piece available to read here:

The lack of transparency surrounding the closure is fuelling questions about the Alberta government's plans for the site.

The details of Henwood's closure have not previously been reported.

With 62 residential treatment beds, Henwood is the largest provincially-run voluntary addiction treatment centre in the Edmonton region. Operations at Henwood were temporarily suspended in late June due to flooding. Sources familiar with the situation have told the IFJ that on Aug. 20, staff were informed that Recovery Alberta is permanently closing the treatment program.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Mental Health and Addiction said in a statement that the Henwood Treatment Centre in Edmonton 'closed for the foreseeable future following significant damage from overland flooding, with all clients transitioned to alternative addiction treatment and recovery services from local providers.'

The wait time to get a bed in Henwood's four-week residential treatment program was between one and four months depending on the client, sources told the

IFJ. At the time Henwood stopped accepting new applications in late June, there were almost 600 people in the queue waiting for a spot to open up, four

sources said.

Over the summer, employees were reportedly told to call the people on the wait list and tell them their referral was being closed and they would need to

reapply once Henwood reopened.

Some clients who had been waiting for weeks for the call from Henwood telling them a spot was available burst into tears when given the news.

Alberta stopped publicly reporting wait times for voluntary addiction treatment programs in 2019."
