RStar has also been widely criticized by energy economists, who say it would transfer money to companies who don’t need it to do work that most are doing anyway. They say energy companies are already legally obliged to clean up their mess.
Kinnear’s LinkedIn profile suggests he has been with Smith’s office as manager of special projects since October 2022.Smith responded by saying there is no conflict of interest.“And he was doing survey work as an independent individual who was very concerned about the level of liability that was occurring on land.”But the NDP presented registry documents which show that Kinnear is still listed as the SAEN’s director.
It’s not the first time the NDP has called out the UCP government over RStar and Kinnear’s role. In January, energy critic Kathleen Ganley said that it appears the government has already made up its mind to bring in the RStar program, despite the widespread criticism.Alberta Opposition NDP calls for public input on plan to subsidize well cleanup
As president of the Alberta Enterprise Group, an influential Calgary-based business lobby, Danielle Smith wrote then-energy minister Sonya Savage and met with her several times to pitch what was then known as the RStar program.
Ofcourse Notely works on dirt.. or attempting to discredit.. how low will Notely stoop too? Not Leadership material. Can't take the high road and just tell Albertans how she will make things better! How she will retrain those 180,000 people who lost jobs under her past trial run!
Omg seriously? NDP are useless pieces of flesh and just as guilty and corrupt as liberals..
Real corruption is the fact that Rachel notleys husband Moe Arab is the president of public sector union AUPE and Notley is getting lots of money from them. She gives it back with tons of spending and handouts to them too.
'......the *unelected* premier.....' Fixed it for you.
The campaign hasn’t started yet and already the dirt is flying!
NDP desperation
If it isn’t Chaos it’s corruption. The NDP bitch about everything but offer nothing in return.
NDP alleges, well there’s something new…..good lord. It can’t be more obvious. NDP are getting crushed in rural AB & need Calgary to win. Bizzinga not going to happen
Really Global? So writing a article of assumption rather than doing investigative reporting? We all know you cheerlead for the NDP….
danielle smith: naive but not Native. You still haven’t addressed your false claims of indigenous ancestry.
I see the NDP/Liberal media machine is in full swing. The problem is that we've already all seen what Notley does in office, and anyone with half a brain know that is not what we need, now or ever. Misguiding people with clickbait headlines, half truths and witch hunts.
danielle smith: naive but not Native. I’m not surprised about the corruption since you lied about having indigenous ancestry. You need to step down.
And so it begins the mud slinging from the ndp
Did RachelNotley start these allegations? She has been known to lie!
Which ones? You have to be more specific with the UCP and their portfolio of corruption. liquorcabinet
'Allegations of corruption are swirling' Indeed. Sexual assault cover-ups, hacking into health care software, blatant union kick-backs...oh wait...that's the NDP.
Rachel is looking in the mirror as she accuses others. CBC you are vile propagandists
We're going to have to endure a couple of months of this crap because - it's what they do. Stay strong and focused and make sure there is a strong turnout in May to send Rachel and her bunch an unequivocal message - NOT THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED. One and done Rachel, One And Done.
Bit of a mattfest in here eh.
Kinda like notleys husband that works for the cupe union that kind of conflict of interest got it,the ndp are in full panic mode with no platform other then free birth control for drag queens
Bias much.
Now do Hoffman's defamation suits, Dang's stealing private medical information, CUPE , AFL and most unions in Alberta including Rachel’s husband connection to the NDP payola.
Hey, Global!!! Are you reporting on the fact that Rachel lives in BC? Or that her hubby leading a union is a direct conflict of interest? Or that she had one of her staff hack personal records?
Nutley will NEVER be premier again, and you're as fake news as the rest of msm.
Nothing like the NDP and CUPE is it.
Notley is one to talk, all she did as premier is tax people into the poor house, make her AHS cornet wealthy all while bootlicking Trudeau
Global news ,joins the CBC /Herald campaign for the NDP. Trudeau is scared of Danelle Smith. Her pushing back against Trudeau will lead other provinces to follow. Shame on Global News.
It’s called deflection. Smith is in the eye of the storm.
And I assume y'all will be helping her by NOT reporting on the corruption.... as per usual.
Anyone surprised 🤷🏻♀️ Jason 2.0
Typical smear campaign by the losers dirty politics because they have nothing to offer except more taxes less jobs and the WEF agenda
UCP should just charge the NDP with slander and be done with it. Mudslinging gone too far when there is no evidence behind it
Of course she is ...and where is the so called letter... integrity would have had he admitted he was a lobbyist or whatever and announcement by virtue of a letter showing his resignation but he/they got caught and are weaseling put of it the UCP way denay
Meanwhile the NDP supports the most corrupt Canadian government in history. NDP grasping at straws yet again.
