No body can say with an honest face, that there is NO coverup and corruption. Something in all of this, IS NOT hunky dorey. Something in our politics is very very amuck. Far worse that in other provinces and even other countries. The checks and balances of a balanced democracy are non existent here and not working, just barely working at the absolute bare minimums. Just sayin…..

The arena issue stinks, every To-ry MLA and associated so called independent commissioners of the gummint all stink like shxt to their core. They lie, lie and lie some more. There is NOT ONE honest broker of truth and ethics. There is so much lying, buffudling and obfucsation and mass coverup, in almost every avenue and ministry, from health, education, energy and everything else. The corruption here is of pandemic and mass proportions. Election fraud, election financing fraud and subsequent coverups and whitewashes. So many involved in the corruption, MLA’s, ministers, party insiders, bureaucrats, party leaders, the whole boat load of them, so many of them belong in Stephen Harper’s Federal Prison system. This was supposed to be the new, honest institution that replaced the Social Credit. Sadly it has become far worse that what it has replaced. Media is complicit. Far beyond sleazy.

bartinsky, you should care because according to the Alberta Elections Act this may be illegal. No wonder this Province is so corrupt with people like you voting in elections.

Personal money is just that, the liberals and the CBC spent how much public money trying to burn Mulroney over some German slime ball giving him 300,000 of his own money, millions of taxpayer dollars were squandered for what, oh lets call an inquiry, the opposition parties would call an inquiry into Tim Horton coffee prices if they could. Who cares where Cates spends his money, someone spent great money and what else getting the so called media here in Alberta all horny for their case on April 23, so it didn’t work, move on to the “Business of Alberta” and grow up, because that is what Albertans want.

I think the optics of this stink.

That said, however, the Alberta Liberals took about a quarter of their total donations from a single donor and his family/business interests in the 2008 election campaign, so I think they can likely dismount their high horse.

Ironic point…this donor gave almost as much as Raj raised in total in 2012. High five, red team!
